Water dripping on exhaust- Normal?

[Badgertits]

The other day when getting into my truck after A remote start I heard some moisture dripping sound I hadn’t noticed before. I took a look underneath the cab just behind the drivers seat looks like where there’s an exhaust bend I had a very steady dripping of water. Pics attached where exactly I’m talking about. The AC was not on, which is why I found it odd- normally I would toss it up to condensation from a rad.

Anyone seen this before or know where it’s coming from & if it’s normal?

You have an exhaust leak there - it is condensation. Normal if you have an exhaust leak, but you shouldn't have a leak there.

Water coming from the exhaust is normal on startup. It's essentially cold water vapor that condenses on the cold exhaust inner. It goes away as soon as the exhaust system heats up and water exits as vapor and not condensate.

However, I've only seen water drip out of the exhaust tips and not in the location you're referring to. I would inspect the area for signs of corrosion and wear (rock dings, etc). Otherwise, I wouldn't worry about it.

It sort of sounded like a leak to me also, I couldn’t tell if it was condensation dripping from someplace above the pipe or from the pipe itself. What made me look into it further was the fact my AC wasn’t on & I wouldn’t expect that type of condensation to be noticeable that far back on the truck anyhow.

Warranty work I guess

Not saying you dont have a leak but if you remote started it the ac/heat will turn on by itself to accommodate for the outside temp regardless of if its physically on

I have seen this on my rig. I tightened the clamp, all good now.

I noticed the same thing the other day looking under the truck getting ready for my deavers install

I am unware. But, if I did see "water" dripping there I wouldn't worry about it. Mine may be doing it all day, who knows. Non-issue.

Total non-issue. If it makes you feel better tighten that clamp. If you take it to the dealer they will most certainly secretly take your picture and make fun of you as "that guy" for the next ten years you go in there.
