I don't think it's the turbo as the gauge did not show it running while driving since we are mainly on flat streets. Also, when I drove before when turbo engaged, the same smell did not happen and that was in normal mode.
My Powerboost can’t smell anything, but it’s a 302A and didn’t come with all the fancy features.
Wow, that is interesting. I assume you mentioned to the dealer the puddle of transmission fluid?
Yes, I spoke to them about what happened (incuding the puddle) so that on changing oil & filter, they were alerted to look for indication of damage. They found zero evidence of damage. I've had good experience with this dealer.
Ok, thank you. It's interesting to get feedback also from others. I will definitely get with the dealer to get this checked.
My take on this is that the amount of oil lost by overheating was small. I had two adults and some "stuff." Not much in the bed. Was shocked when saw the overheat. Never seen that before and been over South Pass many times, usually in "D." But there are three humps along the way and the shifting back & forth frequent, so this time I thought I'd use the single gear.
It is a regular trailer with 4 Christmas trees.
