Is this bad?
Have already taken it in to have it looked at and they said nothing is wrong its normal. It only slings fluid out while traveling at highway speeds. I washed the truck before heading to Tuscaloosa and this is what it looked like after driving 75mph for 213 miles:
Anyone have any ideas?

Well, having just read a owners manual regarding changing tires, there's a section that talks about lubricating part of each lugnut (NOT THE STUD!!!).
To me it looks like someone got a little sloppy with the lube and you're seeing the excess.
I recommend pulling out your owners manual and reading the section on changing tires.
Good Luck!

It would make sense now that i remember the problem didnt show up till after i had the tires rotated at a dealership in N. Carolina which was about a month ago. Guy must have put a ton on there! Appreciate the input.

If this is due to lugs over lubed, you can remove them clean them with solvent, after dry put 2 drops of lube on the bearing surfact. Then reinstall.
This should clean it up.
