Muffler question

was hooking up my camper tonight to take it in for service tomorrow. Left the truck running while hooking it up. Heard a noice like water running under the truck. Was like what the hell is that, so shinned the flash light under the truck and seen a slight puddle under it. Noticed a constant drip coming from the muffler on the right side. Any ideas? If it matters it’s a 17 king ranch 6.2

Pretty normal. My dads exhaust leaks a lot of water from different places. Some mufflers even come with weep holes in them to drain water. Can help the system last longer, especially if you do a lot of short trips.

Normal. Just the exhaust system getting rid of moisture. If it did not have the drain hole, your muffler would rust/rot out earlier. That's why short trips usually rust out a system but longer trips heat it up good to burn off moisture.
