| Description of the problem | We noticed the fumes in the cab soon after we bought the truck. The dealer told me that the filters get clogged and i should drive it down the interstate to clean them out. When winter arrived and had to keep windows closed we were plowing and we started getting sore throats, burning eyes and nose. It gives me headaches. It leaves an after taste in your mouth. This occurs every time we come to a stop or backing up. The dealer has changed egr valve, egr cooler, extended tail pipe, changed catalytic converter, changed 3 exhaust temperature sensors, replaced oxygen sensors and particulate filter over 4 different visits. The issue still has not been resolved. |
