After my last post I decided to except a Good Deal on the truck posted in subject line and took Delivery 9/26... 9 Freaken Days!!!Truck has 350 miles on it..
I went to GYM this morning, about a 12 min drive.. Only thing I did different this morning is run the heat as it was a little chilly..
Got to Gym and Smoke was coming out from under Hood and coming into the cabin of Truck and there was a strong smell of Diesel Fuel..
I wanted to jump back in and take it Home but I said Screw it and did my workout and then took it home about a hr and half later to have the Same Problem..
Worked up the courage to drive the truck 25mins to dealer 3hrs later. Had same problems at first but once I got to highway and highway speed finally to dealer didnt seem as bad but still had alot of diesel smell and so on,meaning other smells and wierd ticking coming from engine..Can't talk to dealer til tomorrow but does anyone have a Idea on this?????


Yep....right about on schedule. I thought mine was catching on fire.
Punch line of this is------ Im suppose to be getting our First fifth Wheel on Thursday in NY (4HR Drive) and then Camping That wknd.. This has the potential to Screw it all up....I Know some will say, should have bought Ford or Dodge so spare me. Otherwise, Anybody have something similar happen????

Sounds like the truck did its first regen. The first few burn the oils out of the exhaust system, hence the smoke, but the diesel smell sounds like a leaking down pipe. It is a known issue. They try realigning the pipes and re-clamping, a lot of times they replace the down pipe.
