I replaced my radiator a few days ago, and ever since then, I can smell a burned rubber smell after hard acceleration when my truck is warm, or after a long run on the freeway. I've looked under the hood 10 times now when I smell it and can't find anything. I replaced the hoses with the radiator, is this a normal smell from them as they get hot for the first few times?? Any help would be great.

Hm... made sure the air bubbles were burped out and such? (silly question yes, but easily overlooked). Should have a little screw bit on the top rad hose (where it connects to the engine) you undo when filling until it coolant starts leaking out, then cap it and continue filling. I have the service manual showing it if you'd like me to copy the page or two.
Hell, might just be smelling the new rad and/or hoses. Shouldn't be a burnt smell though.
Btw, cheers from another Seattle person.
