    Exhaust and fumes effect everyone differently. I'm particularly sensitive to exhaust smoke/combustion gasses myself. That's part of the reason I try and avoid working in the shop. And stay out in the field as much as possible. All I can suggest is seeing if they can get you into another truck and see if you are having health issues in that one as well.
