    Anyone have any insight on why I smell the burnt smell of antifreeze outside my truck after it’s been running. Had water pump replaced about a year ago and I recently replaced my radiator cap. Once truck has cooled down I check radiator and it’s topped off and reservoir is at correct level. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

    2mchfun Cool story, but did your new TTV6 tow a shuttle?

    Did you crawl under it and remove the skid and or cat plate(s) and look around with a flashlight for indications of a slow leak?

    Take engine cover off, shine flashlight between the intake risers to check for valley plate leakage.
