Hot electrical smell

[Minnie Pearl]

Has anybody with the e-torque (or not) started smelling the distictive 'hot eletrical' smell, when you walk past the hood? over the last2 months, 500 miles or 5 - 8 trips, I have gotten a whiff almost every time I get back home. Distance doesn't matter, 20 miles from town or 60 miles from doctor, same smell. Engine temp is 206F to 208F, not a motor oil or transmission oil, I slow roll (6 mph) the 1/4 mile from the highway to the house, w/average hwy speed 50 to 60 (lot of deer on the backroads). It could also be similar to the 'hot clutch' smell, but this is the 8 speed auto 4x4, in 2wd.

Yep. Just got one and it’s the first thing I noticed. Not sure what it is

Same here. Smell is stronger when I ride hard.
