Burning wire smell

Weird, I just noticed this today. When i shut off the truck and get out, I notice this burning wire smell coming from the driver side. It's not in the cab, and I poped the hood and can't smell anything there either. No visual evidence of a problem either. Anyone???

yeah, look for a plastic bag on your exhaust pipe!

I get that exact same smell too! I was gonna post up on it. I couldn't find any obvious probs so I let it go. I'm glad to hear someone else has smelled it.

Rear 02 sensor wireing maybe?

Since something smells like burning and its not under the hood.... probably has to do with the exhaust.

I have noticed that too, in the past few weeks. I will look around when I change the oil next week.

I'll look under it later. If it burns, I make money LOL!!!

I will break even with Gap insurance!!

If I were to do it over, I would get a 01 and slap in a 408 with a 4L80 and some other goodies on the loan, and the payments would still be lower
