??Burnt Rubber Smell??

I 1st noticed it Sat night. It seems to be strongest on the rear passenger side. Tires all around are cold to the touch. Stumped as what this might be or what to look for..

Any Ideas?

Only work done lately was front 4x4 hubs and solenoid changed a couple weeks ago.

Maybe a parking brake is dragging? Rear axle seals look OK, no leaks?

Same thing here. I got out of the truck and I thought I smelled a wood fire! Mine was coming from the passenger side as well.

Only the right rear has the smell, it seems fainter. I won't be able to get under it until tomorrow. Nothing seems out of place visually.
It does kinda smell like my wife's cooking

I had a similar thing once. I thought maybe some mud or something had got thrown up on the exhaust and was baking?
