Does anyone elses truck stink? LOL Im not talking about "diesel smell" but his year it seems like I cant stand to be around my truck when its running, the fumes water your eyes horrible and the smell is much much stronger. I wouldnt care but I have to idle the truck to run my winch, and I am beginning to count the amount of lung im loosing every minute.

I have been around diesels most of my life, and this isnt the normal fumes that come with a diesel engine.

Any thoughts?

 

does it have anything to do with winter fuel? just a guess...

 

I'm going to throw timing into the ring.

I know when I was test driving a Superchips Tuner (adds HP by changing the timing), my exhaust smelled quite a bit different.

I know, 12 valve-24 valve, apples-oranges, but I still say your timing may have slipped a bit one way or the other.

Are you still running the stock injectors? They may be tired and drippy, leading to the eye-watering exhaust.

 

yeah, they are still stockers. I have noticed for a while the awfull smell, and also some blueish "under temp" type smoke coming from the exhaust when left at idle for any short amount of time.

 

i had smell too took injectors out and had them pop tested had to put in some new washers now goood

 

Mine smells the exact same way. In fact, so does a lot of the newer ones where my dad works. We all call it "That Cummins Smell". Even semi trucks where we work smell like that. They smell like a truck stop at night with zero wind. The girlfriend says she can smell it in her house whenever i start it up to warm up. She says I even smell like it after I get done hooking up trailors. I'm pretty well used to the smell, it doesn't bother me, I have slept in the truck alongside the road with that smell. I woke up fine, I was not sick in the least.
