Well I was out this weekend, and i was driving down the beltway to get to home depot, and i started smelling this burning smell, and then it went away. I got to home depot and the car started smoking under the hood.So I parked got out checked everything and the smoking cleared. Well i went to the other home depot and the car started pouring out smoke under the hood so I called AAA they towed it to the local carshop and they will look at it monday morning. What do you think it could be. It sort of felt like the brakes were dragging a bit too.


01 Dak V-8 4.7 4x4 with under 58k miles

 

what did it smell like ex. rubber anti freeze ect... also what color smoke, and any idea from around where it was coming..?

 

could be a sticky caliper, my '95 did it

 

or about 20 other things...lol

 

could be many things, maybe your a/c compressor crapped out. i had an old truck with a similar problem and the compressor burnt up.

 

It was the calipers on both sides, the place its at put my front brakes on and thats where it was coming from(the smoke), don't you think they shood've caught that or could it just start happening?

p.s i get the truck back tom.

 

shoulda they had to be sticking somewhat before to do that...
