Spends too much time on here
That’s all I got. He told me that they replaced his whole radiator assembly including the radiator fans.Can you be more detailed? Was it the radiator fan motor?

Limited here and today I was on the highway and accelerated hard to pass a tractor trailer and shortly thereafter I noticed a strong burning smell which was like burning rubber. First time it happenedSmells like burnt rubber to me
@JeffP - did your dealer already complete this work or is it scheduled for some other time? I am curious to see if this remedies the issue completely for you or not. If it does work, would there be any way of posting the records between FCA and your dealer. I would hope this would be more leverage for getting something done on the other trucks out there exhibiting this issue.My dealership finally got FCA to agree to replacing radiator hoses and flush the coolant as well. This is the next step. If this doesn't fix the problem, I'm not sure what the next step will be. FCA didn't want to admit that this was a problem at first, then they said they have had other complaints of the same type of smell.
The dealer hasn't completed the work yet. They are waiting on the parts. FCA told them 3 days for the part to get here. The truck has been there 2 weeks and FCA is not rushing to remedy the problem. I've already told my dealer that if this doesn't work, they can have the truck back.@JeffP - did your dealer already complete this work or is it scheduled for some other time?

That's no good. Please let us know if it goes away this time after a little while, although I am pretty sure I know the answer to that already. Did the dealer also flush the system?The dealer completed the work by putting a new radiator hose with a heat shield covering it. I got the truck back last night and I drove it anywhere I went today and unfortunately, I am still smelling that weed / skunk smell. It's not as bad, but I still smell it. I feel for the price of the truck, I shouldn't be smelling anything. Not sure what to do next.
