I have been a mechanic for 50 years and I have never seen this condition----
I have a 2005 Ford Ranger with 4L engine. The truck has 80K miles and has never been repaired. The truck gets just barely over the EPA estimated gas mileage and has no drivability issues.
The tail pipe has absolutly no deposits, on the inside, that can be seen. It has a galvanized tailpipe and the inside surface looks exactly the same as the outside.
There was a minor factory recall concerning the cruise control and at the time I pointed out this condition to the Ford service manager. He was facinated and had three of his machanics look at the truck. They even took the time to lift the truck and checked the exhaust system for leaks.
I don't think I have a problem but would be curious to know if anyone has seen this on a vehicle.
