What owners wrote
Driving home I began to smell and electrical burning smell. It began very quickly and came and went for about 2 miles. I pulled over and looked and could not see smoke or fire so I continued home. I drove the remaining 4 miles to my home and immediately got my husband to check as the cab had filled with the smell of an electrical fire. He located the area the smell was strongest and then watched as smoke came out.
