Happens to me once and awhile. I might happen every time, but i dont notice it. Look inside the pipes, there is the black soot collecting on the inside. You start it and some shakes off and blows out.

A word of caution, washing your truck be careful expecially with white to not get water down the stacks. You will get black spots all over the place. I dont even wash the stacks with a hose, i use a bucket, and go almost to the top then polish out the rest.

Happens to me, mostly after rain or washing it. It's just pieces of soot inside the pipe that come out.
