    My 2000 tundra smells like it's overheating when I am pulling a load but there are no signs of that. Gauges are good and no fluids are leaking. Any ideas on why?

    Not sure. Maybe try using an app along with a obd2 plug-in with Bluetooth to determine some temps

    I second this, what smell? The sweet smell of antifreeze is what overheating smells like to me. What exactly are you smelling? that or hot oil, brakes? rubber? lots of smells a vehicle can put off.
