[QUOTE="Bugsiegel, post: 1034018, member: 69993"] Todd, You nailed it. Cylinder 5 plug was loose which makes sense now because it only smelled when the climate control was on and that's only on when the truck is running. We couldn't smell it when the truck was off and the hood was open. luckily it was the first one I checked. I proceeded to check 6 and 7 as well. 8's a challenge on this truck. I didn't check any more. I first was under the truck to check the connections on the fuel filter which I changed a few months ago. What a rusty mess the underside of this truck is. Mechanically it looks like it can make it to 300k and I was hoping to drive it that long ( currently 180K) but the body is just rusting all over the place. Cab corners are now both in bad shape. The 2004 Toyota looks so much better underneath. Both in the same environments. Thanks to all the responses. Check your plugs. [/QUOTE]
