kamikaze Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Mine's only got 1k miles on it now and when I picked it up from the dealer it was about 90 degrees. I got on the freeway and turned on the a/c and I thought I smelled gear oil (90w). If you know oil then you know 90w has a very distinct odor. I thought it was just a "new truck smell" and would go away. So far it's only when I use the a/c. If it continues into the summer months I'm gonna take it back in!

Iudex Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 ive had mine since march, and pretty much use the a/c every day. The smell does seem to go away after a while. either that or you get use to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc_w Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 Mine will sometimes (maybe 'ususally') smell on the startup of the AC. In my case, it smells musty... it's due to mold growing in the very damp areas of the AC hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
