Morning all;
i was just reading this thread, I had not paid any attention to the exhaust smell of these trucks till the other day, I had noticed that it smelled a lot different then other older diesels but hadn't thought anything about it.
A couple of days ago i needed to bring some bags of coal around and into my attached garage from outside, I back up to the pallets and load about 10 bags on the tail gate then pull around to the garage and back about 3/4 of the way in to unload and stack the coal for the house, I usually use the tractor loader bucket to do this but i had it tied up so used the pickup, I left the truck idling while I loaded the tailgate backed into the garage and went around to unload the truck and the stench of the exhaust was terrible i had to shut the truck off. I have never had an exhaust that smelled that bad before, I was taken completely by surprise, I had both overhead doors open and could not stand the exhaust.
