my truck freaking stinks

[blk smoke lb7]

We had a truck come in a few months ago the blocked egr, where the gasket was at actually burned out and the fumes were so bad in the cab.I've seen the exhaust lip where the down pipe clamps on crack and seen it leak there but you should have soot showing somewhere.

LLYs ignore the idle timing, I disabled the idle tables and run mine with the main timing table at idle. I can't say how much it did for the smell because it still smells like a diesel but it does get rid of the annoying jump in idle speed you can feel when it transitions from idle to rolling idle when you are rolling along.

mine smells. but its not a fuel smell

Ya my egr is completely gone... If the truck sits at idle for a bit it is pretty nasty.

if its the differential kinda smell, i noticed i have it too. i think its the pcv reroute. it kinda smells like burning oil or something. although my lines are dry...

You mean you are actually driving your truck? :frog:

Bump the RP up to about 6,500 or so and see if it helps. My pcv used to stink, but I put in the morals checkvlave in the exhaust and plumbed it in. It has been on for about 10k and problems. I check the valve from time to time and it is always clean and working correctly.

Mines stinky too but i assumed its because my injectors are puking out...

My lly stinks too... But it's a worn out p.o.s.

One of the C5500's that I did head gaskets on at work smells really bad idling. So does my service truck. About chokes you out. They are both llys

Y'all need lb7's.

Bingo!

Nothing smells worse than a 12 valve.

Mine smells bad also. If i go out to start it and come right back in my clothes stink. I also noticed that it's way worse in winter but not sure why. Not sure if it has always been that way cause the truck was tuned 3 days after i bought 5 years ago.

Mine stinks too. Kinda reminds me of the old school buses. It's not bad unless it idles for a while. I assume it's the PCV.

It seemed to get much worse after I took the stock turbo off back in 08.

Do you notice shitty fuel economy?

Ya mine is getting like 9-12mpg right now no matter what i do

 

[gmduramax]

Winter diesel?

 

[TQMONSTR]

Winter diesel?

Winter diesel makes sense for me cause we get cold winters but is the fuel down south the same as up north in the winter?
