    Thanks, such a different time. Heck, I remember many trucks I drove with exhaust leaks, it's probably why I'm so goofy today. It was no big deal, the exhaust leaks, that is, trucks all smoked like grandpa anyway.

    Sure do. It was easy to spot exhaust leaks with a Detroit, they fogged the neighborhood. Back then, smoke meant progress, not pollution.
     
    Tug Toy and Isafarmboy Thank this.

    If you have a carbon monoxide detector you’d be surprised at the in cab levels I’m thinking. I know I was when I had a minor leak according to stealership during warranty period.

    I actually loved that smell. Smelled like money to me, but you are right. I think cabovers were the worst.

    High if the back vents on a cascadia get warped inside which they all do over time . Also opening to window to let out fumes actually pulls more in through the vents . I sealed my vents and only issue is sometimes need to crack a window to close door easier without slamming it . Levels went from 80 to 100 ppm to 10 occasionally if you leave door open during Pretrip
