exhaust ?

My truck is white. I noticed now I have black staining on the body above the tail pipe. My truck is stock, I drive like an 80 year old lady, get normal fuel economy and it runs good. I have been keeping an eye on other powerstrokes, and none have the amount or as dark a stain as mine. Looking in my rearview show no smoke, unless i gun it, which is an extremely rare occasion for me. What could cause this?

I've never noticed that on a Ford before but I have seen it on a bunch of Dodges.

I've never had a stain on mine. If it bugs you and your MPG is good, consider a down turn pipe tip. A friend with a Dodge did that. His did have some hopup stuff on it. Good luck

It's Normal. The black exhaust gets on all trucks it's just more visible on light colored vehicles. When I wax my truck it comes off on the towel. Washing does not remove it completely but a good cleaner wax will get it off.
