I am having exhaust "blacking" building up on "plastic" fender above the exhaust pipe.

I have mud flaps which may cause some of the problem but it is evident that DC is using the same tailpipe for the dually as they are using for the 2500 and single wheel 3500s.

This tailpipe is about 4-5"s short............

I will, I am on holidays fishing right now, go back to my dealer to have them solve the problem.

Black exhaust on a white truck fender is U G L Y .

I'll let you know in September what my dealer says.

Does anyone else have this problem? If so did the dealer fix it?

dealer ain't gonna "fix" it I'm affraid... just have an exhaust tip installed on it.

Yep....a shiny new exhaust tip is your best bet.

Frank, on your white dually, are your fenders darker than the body? Mine are and is really noticeable in the evening. I need a tip on mine too!!! Jeff

FrankB

Jeffy.

I have not noticed that the fenders are darker in the evening. Looking at it right now - overcast around noon CDT, they seem to look the same. I'll check tonight.

Everyone - Yea! DC has screwed up again and the customer has to pay for it. Just the same, I'll try and beat up my dealer for the extension. Until September - its soap and water every day.....

Any suggestions on a good 4" tip other than the 100$+ Mopar tip..

Cheers Frank

PS
The fishing is great in NW Ontario - cool wx but good Walleye.

Rip's got a lot of tips that guys seem to like.

Dodge screwed up lots of stuff that we have to pay to fix... the injectors and turbos are too small, the clutch is too weak, etc. etc.

I've got a white dually and I noticed the rear fenders are a slightly different shade of white. I'm adding a 5" polished SS tip to the tailpipe. I guess I might let i hang out a bit more than I planned...

The gibson turn down tip I put on my truck eliminated this problem completely.

Oh come on just install a nice dual exhaust set up

FrankB

Thank you all for your comments and suggestions.

I guess I'll have to bite the "bullet" and put on a nice crome extension.

Dual stacks sound great but the co-pilot would not hear of it - besides I would have to move my in-bed fuel tank and tonneau cover - oh well!

Thanks again gang.

Frank,a little off topic but where did you get your aux fuel tank?

FrankB

Mike_Boutet

I had the tank made at BSD in London. Custom with fuel pump, manual cut off valve, in-dash on/off switch and a backflow valve in the truck fuel filler.

Cost ~ 2100 CDN. Diamond steel ~ 81 US gals.

If you are interested, I can dig out the phone number and web site.


I am on a pay phone now - fishing up-north. I'll look for the info in my RV when I get back and if I have it, I edit this message with the info.

Take care
Cheers Frank
