So I noticed it first the other day and didn't think much of it, but it happened again today.

Theres like a rubber smell coming from the vents whenever the truck has a chance to warm up, so I don't know if it's something to be worried about. I smelt the engine bay today after like an hour drive and I didn't smell the same thing as in the cab.

I didn't want to start poopin my pants yet so I figured i'd ask the experts at Dodgeforum .

 

when my trucks cold and its blown air right from start up it smells like gas/rubber...so i just turn it off and let it warm up then its just fine!

 

thats cause you like to do those cold start burnouts!!!

 

I was thinking the cold start at first but I only smell it after like a half hour of driving.

 

Hows the serpentine belt look? If its slipping slightly, that would be the burning rubber.

 

Odd. I sometimes notice a rubber smell from my Sundance and Caravan but only when standing outside the vehicle after a drive. I always wrote it off as a rubber exhaust hangar. Not sure why you would get it when cold though. Rengnath's belt theory makes sense.

 

Thats just your mom and dad using your truck at night when you are in your bed sleeping...

Someone was thinking it...dont lie... LOL

 

It has happened to me a couple times. It hasnt happened in awhile though... hmm...

 

Let me be the first to say that's a nice sig Bobby . I'll check the belt tomorrow and see if it needs to be replaced, or if there is any excessive wear on the belt.

 

Thanks Dirk! I just downloaded a trial of photoshop on my PC for a school project. I think I need to switch to a Mac ..... Windows just cant handle the load of photoshop.
