    It could be an old mechanical motor, they have a very distinct smell. I kinda like the smell of them though. It could be a catalytic converter like when an overloaded SUV passes you doing 90, they will stink real bad.

    Maybe it's not the truck. Have you looked at some of the "THINGS" that people call truck drivers now days?They might just have their windows down!

    i walked out of love's last night, and the truck that was sitting at the first fuel pump had a steady stream of gray blackish smoke coming out of a area just below the sleeper and just above the fuel tank, and nobody seemed to alarmed by it? was that the new system every one is talking about? it looked like more like a hazard than something to promote clean air.:biggrin_25513:
