97 Blow By- Carbon out of exhaust pipe

Hello,

I was wondering if you guys could give me an idea as to if this is common place or not. I have put 10,000 Miles on my truck since I bought it 3 months ago. I just got back from California last night, got up this morning and noticed that there was Black carbon on blow by on the passengers side rear portion of the bed just behind the exhaust pipe, by the rear bumper. I have never noticed this before, and the run I made to California was the same run I have made the last 4 weekends, no heavier of a load etc.

Do you think this is anything to worry about, or is it normal ???

Thanks,

Mostly normal depending on how much fuel you have the stain could get a lot bigger. I wouldn't worry to much about it it's the nature of the beast.....

don't worry about it, be proud of it. Heck I'd go and right GOT Soot? in it if it was mine, but you can't see the soot on mine since it's black.
