I have a 2002 SuperCharged X-terra and I have noticed heavy black residue in the tailpipe. Is this normal for the supercharged engine or is the engine running rich? The dealers says that this is normal.

Please help!

Normal. Welcome to the 02' 2WD SC Club! We meet every Sat. Don't be late and this week, you bring the tire shine!!!

You may also check the "Problems & Annoyances" section, pg. 15, "Running Rich, Black Tailpipe". Being a new member, like myself, you may want to research well before you ask a question...seems almost every situation has been covered somewhere. Ask a question on a well discussed topic and these guys will let you know QUICK!!! Good Luck...
