We have a 2005 Inspire 330 #51264.
When traveling we have a strong diesel smell in the back of the coach that improves as you go forward. Has anyone else experienced this. If so do you have a solution.
Thank you,
RJ

Check for blown exhaust manifold gasket. That same thing happened to us.

Ray,

What coach do you own? What was cost of labor & materials? Which shop did the work? How many hours of labor? I am curious as I may have the same problem.

Daron, my coach is a 2000 Intrigue with a 350 Cummings. I did all the work myself because last time I had a problem with a cracked manifold. I had Cummings in san diego replace it and shortly after that I started getting diesel smell in the coach. This went on for quite a while. Country Coach tried to find it at one of the rallies with no success. I finally found it myself. It looked like someone got lazy and Cummings and did not tighten the lower exhaust manifold bolts that are very hard to get to. All gaskets were blown on bottom side and one bolt was completely gone.
Best of luck in your repair. Ray
