Burning smell when running in sport mode.

[Brsox]

New 2025 4 door Badlands, 2.7, Sasquatch, 2500 miles. One of several changes I made with Forscan was to enable sport mode. Loving it and haven't used it much. The other day, on my way home from work, while driving on the highway, I enabled sport mode just to play around with it. Love the pedal response. Didn't do anything crazy. When I got home and pulled into the garage, I noticed a burning smell from the driver's side wheel well. Hmmmm. I had the gauges display up on the instrument cluster. The trans temp was slightly higher than normal but that is to be expected as sport mode holds higher gears. Wondering if any of you have experienced this.

With only 2500 miles it may just be burning off the factory residues. Did you crawl underneath to inspect for any leaks?

No. I've gotta do that. Seems like when I run in 4wd auto or sport I'm getting the smell.

As soon as I go into sport mode, I punch the 2wd button.
