the truck was regen’ing. The few Macks i’ve driven with emissions were like that, you would see smoke rolling out by the passenger side drives while driving. I remember the 2011 Mack did it and it drove me nuts trying to figure out where it was coming from. Eventually i had a guy in the passenger seat and he stuck his head out the window to find the smoke coming from the dpf box under the passenger side of the cab.MACK E-6 Thanks this.
