| Description of the problem | When this diesel truck cleans it"s particulate filter i get a strong fuel smell odor in the cab when stopped at a stop light or stop sign. This cleaning of the d. P. R. Filter happens every 100 or so miles driven and last for about 20 miles. When the odor occurs my eyes burn, and i cough alot. So far the dodge dealers are unable to fix my problem. I have taken the pick up truck to two different dealers trying to get relief from this problem. |
