Cab Air Smells Like Rubber
Topic 22403 | Page 1
That's a tough question. If you're close to a terminal , I'd get the mechs to have a sniff. It could be mechanical or just a stale odor.
When it comes to fumes in the cab, I'd be cautious and find out something from the pros with your carrier. Better safe than sorry.
Terminal:
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
No just the fan
Do you have the heater on????
Weird that it's the same for the front and the back as they are usually separate systems. Have you checked the cabin air filter under the bunk? That would be about as much as you can really do.
Sounds like dirty filters.
Agreed! If you pop the under the bunk filter out and it looks like a flattened out Labrador retriever.... it shouldn't.

When air is blowing through my vents doesn't matter if up front or in the sleeper it has an odd smell reminds me of rubber. Do I something acting up or do I just need an air freshener? Just got the truck.
