| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The intake for the heater/ac,is under the hood and is suppose to be sealed from the rest of the engine by a rubber gasket wich fits poorly and there are drain tubes that allow foul air from undder the hood (crankcase blowby,external oil leak burnoff) to be sucked into the cab,i have it happen almost every day with this truck sometimes the smoke is actualy visable in the cab,there is no evidence of exhaust leaking so it has to be blow by or fuel puddling in turbo at idle and being pushed out turbo seal and burrning off then by poor location of hvac intake gets sucked into pass. compartment. this is not my truck i am just the driver and i have brought this to freightliners att. and i might as well talk to a wall they said some of the trucks do that but we don't know why |
