Moisture in tail pipe
Although the my 2000 Jeep Cherokee is running great. There seems to be a lot of moisture coming from the tailpipe. When the jeep s cold a small trail of water can be seen as I drive away. Is this normal?

When you shut off your engine in cold weather the exhaust is HOT, as the exhaust cools condensation occurs, and that causes the water you see coming out the tail pipe.

This will also happen of you let your vehicle idle and warm up excessively on cold days. Under load you'd have the pressure to expel the moisture, at idle it just collects in the exhaust until you can hear it gurgling.
