yes--the exhaust smoke will choke you-but the part that kills has no ordor.
please get a co detector for your truck.

Yes, of course you're right... and I knew that. I just sometimes use the terms interchangeably when referring to exhaust. However, I SHOULD have said that I smell exhaust fumes in my truck at times.
Funny thing is, I can't find a leak, and so I'm not sure if it's just fumes trapped by an inversion layer over a major city I'm passing through. Especially since I DON'T actually smell it all the time.
Never thought about getting a CO detector! That's a great idea.

if you smell exhaust while driving--you got the leak for sure--and you're getting CO with the exhaust....if you're parked--it might be the truck next to you or even the reefer exhaust from your reefer---they used to have
trucks with "grass burner" exhaust ---it was a real pain to park next to one of them.
Battery powered--smoke/CO combination detector-----Trucks also have been known to catch fire you're parked sleeping. These days, companies have become CHEAP---no Bunk escape hatch--only way out is over the fuel tanks.
