Smell of exhaust in cabin when sitting in parked truck.

Hasn't happened since the summer, but i remember it happening most often when the a/c was running. Thought it was weird, didn't want to off myself.....yet.

Firstly, make sure your exhaust system is in good shape. Next check the rubber bulb seal that runs along the front edge of the cowl. That seals off the engine compartment fumes from the fresh air intake that is inside the cowl.

That seal is still technically there. It's a little warped and mis-shapen but it does sit in the gutter edge (not well). Makes sense though. I thought i may have a hole in my exhaust and it was leaking up through my floor somewhere.

Maybe ill just replace it to be safe.

You really think it's something that simple? That's not my luck.

I'll put it up on stands tonight and inspect exhaust.

Thanks a lot for the info.
