When my truck is in regen mode, I always know it because if I have to come to a stop and the truck is still in gear, I almost instantly get a god awful sulfur smell in the cabin. I want to see if this is normal, and if not, if I should press GM to do something about it. This has been a persistent issue since I bought the truck.

I observe a similar smell but to me it smells like burning rubber .It does not happen consistently. and when it does happen it is after a 30 0r 40rty mile trip. the smell seems to come from the gap between the box and the cab on the drivers side. How do you know when your truck is in regen mode?? Is there any indication on the instrument cluster??

Every once in a while I get a faint whiff of "nasty semi exhaust" and then it's gone.

It's normal.

It's normal.

Gotcha. Yea it's something I can live with, but not thrilled about it. I'm definitely going to get in contact with GM to ensure they rectify that problem in future models.

Don, here are the telltale signs the truck is in regen mode from my experience:

• Fuel economy drops off.
• The turbo kicks in more easily and had an erratic high pitched squeal.
• If at a stop and the truck is in gear, the idle is a couple hundred RPM's higher, and of course the smell...

My regen stink is more subtle and I don't notice any performance changes, I also have a Duramax Tuner installed. I just had a regen yesterday.
