    Over the past month or two I've noticed a gas smell when the truck is running. Can even smell it in the cab. Any ideas why Im smelling gas? Im not gonna say I smell it 100% of the time. I think once I get goin down the road it goes away. Only notice it when the truck is sittin like if I get out to go in a store and come back.
    Gas lid is tight and no gas running out on ground. Havent really tried to trace it down under the hood.

    Alot of the time you will step in or around the gas pump and it gets on your shoes/boots then you get in the cab and get a whiff of it.

    In my own imaginary world, where. Respect for wome
    yea, I wish they didn't just come w/ extentions either. They should do complete replacements, but oh well right.
