Exhaust in cab

Anyone else having exhaust in the cab? When the re-gen cycle starts and I am driving slowly, if I slow down to a stop or slow down enough to make a turn in downtown driving, I get a strong exhaust smell inside the cab. It seems to do it IF I have the a/c on OR fresh air vent on with fan running. I tried and it also happens with the heater running, so it seems to be coming through the fresh air intake at the bottom of the windshield. It just started doing this and I have 23k miles. It never did it before. The local dealership tells me they think it is normal.

exhaust in cab...lets think about this, you could die from that. I'd tell that dealer they need to re-think what they are saying.

I would also go elsewhere if you can.

Thanks guys, I guess it is time to start over with them. I'll go talk to them about the EGR cooler. This started when they repaired an "Check Engine" lite situtation. It was a faulty sensor for the "EGR cooler!!!!" They broke the sensor trying to get it out and had to pull the transmission to be able to remove the broken piece. They had the truck for 26 days. When I get it back, I have the new problem. There are no other dealers within 50 miles of here. I am currently in Ellensburg, WA
