something's burning

[leochevy2001]

yesterday while driving home i could smell something burning but i wasn't sure. after i parked my truck in the driveway and got out, i walked around the truck trying to smell what might be burning but i couldn't smell it any more. that had me thinking that maybe it wasn't my truck. well this morning on my way to work i opened the window to card into the parking lot and i could smell it again. so when i parked i opened the hood, got out and walked around. i couldn't smell it under the hood but i could smell it more towards the cab area. it almost had a smell of burning plastic. i hope that it's not anything serious. anybody have any similiar experiences or have a clue as to what it might be?

Maybe you caught a grocery bag underneath and it melted to your exhaust or something....?

Same thing I had, plastic bag on the cats.

Couldn't be a bad heater core, could it? Does it have a sweet smell to it? Feel your floor boards for moisture and check your coolant level.
