Burning smell (not 4x4 burn smell)

have you been mudding lately? everytime i mud i seem to have a burning smell but thats just from the mud melting off. thats the only thing i could think of

 

i havent been mudding yet to much snow

 

i dont know what it could be then. take it to the yota dealership. they can figure something out.

 

to lazy its been doing it ever since ive had it, im not worrying about it

 

I dont mud either.

No lift plans to lift until payed off

 

Yea, I get the smell every now and then as well. I just ignore it.

 

Are you driving in snow or rain? I get this smell during the winter months up here in NY. It's the snow, sand and salt mix burning on the exhaust. I get the same smell out of my wife's Honda. If you get it when it's dry out I would have it checked...

 

now that would make sence

 

I noticed the same smell the other day it was snowing and cold i crawled all under the truck looked all over the motor couldn't find a thing. Smelled like rubber burning not salt on the exhaust but could have been.

 

Sounds about right I noticed it when it was raining or snowing thanks!

Yeah same thing here.

 

Yeah...it smells odd like burning rubber but it really isn't. Something about that combination of salt, sand and snow that is just right. I just got home from skiing and sure enough...same smell... No worries if that is the only time you smell it. Like I said though, if it does it when it is dry then you might have something else going on.

 

agreed
