I'm going to take a guess that you live in an area with cold winter temps?

That's caused by moisture build up from short drives where your truck doesn't get up to temperature. Same with water in exhaust.

Sludge build-up from short trips/drives. If you drive only say 5 miles back-forth to work rather than 20minutes, your engine doesn't get warm enough to burn all of the moisture that is indside the engine. Notice the moisture that is currently there. Changing your oil sooner won't do anything. Only letting your truck run longer between start-stops can prevent that.

Take it on about a 2hr drive and most of the moisture should evaporate.
