Been some time since I've posted anything but thought I would seek input from the forum on this one.

On occasion, not always, and after the truck has warmed up, some fumes enter the cab. If it happens when I pull into the garage and stop, the smell is noticeable on the outside also. Like I said, its not always present, only occasionally and at very slow speeds or when coming to a stop. I don't smell the fumes at speeds above 35 to 40 mph - I guess it simply blows by when traveling faster. Its difficult to describe what it smells like, but to me its like diesel exhaust fumes. But this is a 6.7L engine so there should be no diesel exhaust fumes - right?

So, having said all this, I took the truck into the dealer this past week for the 14E03 recall and asked them to also find the source of the fumes. When the service was completed, the service underwriter said I had a small leak from "one of the two" cooling lines under the turbo unit. I was asked to drive the truck and see if they fixed the problem. Since I'm a total rookie regarding diesel engines and turbo chargers, I would ask the members here if you have experienced this situations and what action was taken to resolve it. By the way, my 2011 truck as about 85,000 miles on it.

The following morning after driving a few miles, I noticed the smell again. As I drove on and thought about it, I was hoping the liquid that leaked during the service would fully burn off and that would be the end of it. Today while driving some 40 miles with several stop and goes, no fumes were present.

I hope I've explained correctly what has been happening and what the dealer told me was the potential problem. Any feedback will be appreciated. Thanks.

 

check the flange nut on the left of the turbo attached to the up pipe i believe? another spot is on top of the dpf the pressure sensor tube can sometimes get detached

 

Most likely check those spots. During the regen when most fumes are present is when it shows up.


That would explain why it is not consistent.
