why do i have an a$$load of water coming out of my tailpipe, when first starting up and even up 5 min. after running?
 
mine had a cracked head when it did that.. does your exhaust smell sweet?
 
no it doesn't
 
Normally this is condensation from the cold metal of the exhaust system being heated. It will be worse during real cold weather, and high humidity environments. If it is from the cooling system, your engine would be overheating, and you would have to add coolant.:)shady
 
thanks, it was a cool day, and i was running the truck in the garage flushing the cooling system, so it was more noticeable, everything's fine.
now i have to figure out the electric door lock issue.
Thanks
 
For every gallon of fuel you burn, roughly one gallon of H2O is produced. Combined with condensation (as mentioned before) you will usually see water drip from the tail pipe. You can do two things. Let it run its course and drip on the ground, or rev it up quick to plaster the crap on your buddies pant leg as he admires your new chrome tips. (Tip: light colored pants work better)
 
Sounds like a sign of a properly working o/2 cat setup. Some moisture is to be expected.
