Hi, I have a 2000 GMC Sierra...and back before I got my speeding ticket...I used to drive this truck really, really hard. Flooring it alot and stuff like that....and about 15 minutes into driving it like this I would smell the really bad burning rubber smell coming from the driver side in the middle/front of the truck. Does anyone have a clue of what this might be(it's definately not the tires)? Thanks!

Could have been your catalytic converter working overtime. They can make some funny smells.

If it has a manual trans, its probably the clutch.

  And there aren't any "bellows". There are solid plastic doors the actuators move, which largely seal just by themselves, and then have a strip of foam around the edge to better seal the door. The foam does deteriorate over time, but this is unlikely to be a significant cause of the problem.

  are the heater controls set for hot or cold air? If it's set for hot, and say, to get air from outside the cab (vs recirculated air), even w the fan off, air will get pushed through the hvac system, over the heater core and into the cab. Switching it to cold will reduce the temp to whatever it is outside. Switching to recirculate mode (which may mean switching to vents or whatever, read your owners manual), will reduce the amount of airflow through the hvac system.

  Prolly diaphragm bellows rotted out. Given the age of your truck.
