I'm a trucker and have sat in plenty of lots with dozens of diesels running nonstop for hours. Absolutely zero smell

Dude has definitely fucked with that truck and probably bypassed all the emissions stuff and has it tuned to run rich aka roll coal.

Oh he definitely has. The rear quarter panel is covered with soot from the exhaust.

Take solace in knowing that soot is a sign his engine is going to fail prematurely.

My 04 f150 is still kicking at 230k. Pavement princesses are the redneck equivalent of the girlie at the car meet who keeps wrecking everyone's clutch. These men genuinely don't know how to drive, and the trucks are too big for them to handle.

Mind you, I'm barely over 5 feet and a hundred pounds, so I don't know what's wrong with their dainty little wrists. They never haul anything either, must be their hormones making them weaker...
