Hello all, I bought my bad-ass ZR2 a few weeks ago, and love it. North sky blue, comfortable, solid, powerful, easily modded -a damn fine mo-chine.
Help out a newbie: there is an odd smell coming from under my Zee. Smells are hard to describe - let me try...imagine driving down a steep mountain pass behind some Semi trucks - that brake smell in the air as you get to the bottom of the pass - brakes heating up. That's what I smell from the left and rear of my truck. There is no brake pull, no drift, no brake squeal or noise - no color change to the disc (like a dragging pad would heat up the disc). Parking brake works fine. No obvious fluid leaks - no spots on the ground.
List of possibilities in my mind - brakes, a fluid leak (tranny? diff?), something in the exhaust or cat, something accidentally stuck on the exhaust at factory?
ZR2 has 120 miles - still using my other car...
Just new truck smell?
2023 ZR2
