smelly truck...

lately, I've notice my truck kinda smells. It smells like burning wire insulation, or melting rubber. I 've cut my exhuast down so it dumps right in front of the axle...could this be melting stuff? All my aux. wires are fused, and of sufficent size, so they shouldn't be getting hot. Maybe it's just my imagination, but any ideas on what to check for or look at?

well, how did you cover your connections? with electical tape? could be its melted

and the parking brake wire going to the axle has a plastice cover, and with my turn down, i noticed it melted it alittle



geez, and here i thought you were going to say your truck smells like butt cause you fart too much in it

that same thing happened to mine so thats what i would check for, if thats it, zip tie it out the way or somethin

Most of the wire connections are with insulated connectors, and for the most part, don't have heat shrink on them because they are inside. I have got some wires held together as a bundle with tape, might wanna check those.

Didn't think so the parking brake cable, so I'll check that. I'm pretty sure it has to do something with the engine being on, as I was just out vaccuming it out with the radio on and no smell.

i fart in my truck, it smells

i farted and closed up the truck for over a week when i went underway got back and that thing was ripe.

anyways does ur exhaust dump down or straight back. i just put a turn down on mine and not as much smell now

Just straight back. I just hacked the exhuast off with a hacksaw about 3" after the muffler.

u still runnin factory shocks? they got plastic dust booties on on em... also check the abs wires also.
