I installed a windshield on my Max and took it for its first longer ride (hour or so). There appeared to be a strong exhaust smell in the cab after the first 45 minutes (very strong odor). Could it just be that the motor and exhaust just got good and hot for the first time and its just the smell of the exhaust and engine burning off oils and paint from the factory (example: exhaust pipes turns color after it gets good and hot)? I'm just wondering if it's, what I call, break in smell or do mavericks tend to get a bad exhaust smell in the cab because of the location of the engine? I never noticed the smell before, but I didn't have a windshield on and all the rides were 15 minutes or less. I have 50 miles on the Max. The smell was strong, too strong to enjoy the ride. My mom even mentioned the strong smell while in the back seat.
