Description of the problem	I purchased a 2004 dodge ram 2500 cummins truck. There are horrible diesel oil fumes entering the cab from the engine compartment. I was first told by the dealer that it was due to the engine being new. After 15,000 miles i was told that they have an oil additive available to 'fix' the problem by making it smell better. My 9 month pregnant wife cannot ride with me. The fumes are horrible and are causing nausea, headaches, and possibly poisoning which i have no way to verify. The smell is so bad i am not sure what to do, but it is completely unacceptible and seemingly very dangerous and could be fatal in the winter months when the windows must be rolled up. I have researched this issue on several online forums and many people are having this issue with the 2003 and 2004 dodge ram cummins 2500 and 3500 trucks. *ak
