Hello, I just bought a used 2004 Ford F350 6.0 Lariat diesel. Overall I love this truck. The previous owner replaced the EGR valve, EGR cooler, the coolant overflow bottle, and had the cooling system flushed out. The truck drives well, handles well, and pulls well. I love this truck.
Now the problem. When I drive it, I get a slight smell of exhaust fumes in the cab. I get some eye and throat irritation, and feel slightly sick. It takes a bit of time, usually 30 to 40 minutes of drive time. This happens no matter how the AC, heater, or vent system is being used.
Any thoughts?
I am not a DIY mechanic on new vehicles. I read some threads about Y pipes, but not sure how to check them. Can you please provide me with some guidance on how to check for cracks?
Thank you.
