Burning Smell

Just took the truck on a 2.5 hour highway drive with limited traffic and a few times of using ECT power. While the truck drove fine and everything seems to be in place I noticed a burning smell once parked at my location. I spent some time looking around but I don't see anything leaking. Could this just be the brakes coming to an end of life or something else I should look for? The most recent thing I had done was the frame recall that resulted in Toyota spraying that white grease all over the frame.

 

no parking brake was not left on....

Smoking the reefer.

 

Could be anything really. You have to acclimatize your nose to specific compounds that serve specific functions. Any idea what it smelled like?

 

The smell reminded me of a burning clutch from a manual car. This truck is not a manual.

 

Could be a brake hanging. Are you an aggressive driver? Or come to an aggressive stop just before?

 

There were some aggressive brakes on the highway during traffic but not much.

 

The rust preventative dripping/over sprayed on the exhaust maybe?

 

Yeah trying to look if maybe its just that, they sprayed so much of that stuff but can't see everywhere.

 

I bet it’s a skunk ape they smell terrible

 

Not unless something is amiss.

Such as this^^^

 

You ever get to the bottom of this one? Having a very similar issue myself

 

some of that rust prevention goop probably got on your exhaust and burned up
