    Condensation. Bet there is a weep hole right above where you see water dripping. Rear side of muffler, top side of flange.

    Weep hole weep hole weep hole... not leaking from the flange or air would be leaking and that would be a no go for safety inspection.

    sounds like it's time for new muffler bearings.

    redneck pinstriping, various stickers, not 1 but 2 glade air fresheners because I fart a lot.
    definitely a johnson bar issue. check the joyball bearing case for flux paste if you see any coming from outermost inner bearing race then you will need to take a number 11 fiscal socket and insert it into the upper under carriage of the joyball bearing that will induce the flux to the outmost race and allow it to flow into your muffler flange along the venous bed rail. or at least that's what worked for me. pictures to follow

    @Z50king not sure the government would risk putting such a chemical in a truck that has the potential to get stuck in park, diff blow up, have no trans fluid, and heaven for bid have a tad bit of vibration! I'm sure we'd put it in something more reliable like a ridgeline :boink::crapstorm:
