Getting the Wheeling Fever

sunday i picked up a 1990 toyota 4runner V6(3VZE i think?)
the truck runs great, 189k and it purrs like a kitten. the only thing i noticed is that the 2 times ive had it on the freeway, i can smell burnt rubber. i know its not from the tires, the belts all look good. i just had a OC, tranny flush, diff flush, and coolant flush.
the burning smell was before and after the maintance i did, i thought flushing the coolant may work, but it diddnt.

any helP?

Wheeler

check near the manifold on the passenger side of the vehicle. There is an e-brake cable and speedo cable that may have come off of their brackets and are touching the manifold. Otherwise that entire area where asll of your vaccuum hoses etc. are, take a peak around to see if anything else is touching, could be a groun wire on the opposite side as well. I would just start at the manifolds, and work my way around the exhaust system to see if there is anything out of place.

Hope you find it..
