Getting smoke smell out of the truck

Dryer sheets do work that was a trick I learned from my husband but I put them under the mattress and all around the truck

 

Don't forget to change your cabin and bunk filter.

It's almost impossible to get it all out. It gets in the duct work and that's hard to clean out when you have to pull the dash and stuff. New filters will help get clean air circulating some.

 

+1. The cabin filter is the one part people forget, and it's key to helping get the smell out. When I used to smoke, I'd open the window(if it got cold, I'd turn up the heat). But too many people seal up every window and vent in the cab, turn the air on 'RECIRC,' and chain-smoke so hard that RJ Reynolds sends them Christmas cards every year.

Replace the cabin filter and blast a bunch of odor-killer into the ductwork as far as possible. That ought to do a lot to solve the problem.

 

Soap, water and elbow grease is the only way your going to kill the smell. Stinky stuff just covers up the smell of other stinky stuff. Unfortunately some guys will close the windows up and puff away on there smokes, I cant stand it when guys do that, and I would send them to the unemployment line if they did that inside equipment I own...

 

My rig was smoked in for the 1st 2 years it was ran but not after that. However, there was still a distinct odor....

I cleaned everything in my rig with "Awesome". It's a cleaner sold at the Dollar stores.
I replaced the mattress. Cleaned out the entire HVAC system and coils.

I then sprayed this stuff all over my fabrics and stuff:
(It doesnt cover things up...) - Permanantly removes odors. About $6 a bottle.

 

Swing into a GM dealer and see if the parts dept has any GM Vehicle Odor Eliminator (P/N 12378554) in stock. I've used it when I was at the dealership and I don't think there was an odor it couldn't kill. I think list is like $20/bottle but maybe they can cut you a deal.

 

...and don't forget it's tax deductible! I've been through this scenario several times, both with former team trucks.

 

Wipe down all the surfaces with SPRAY 9 , take a can of LYSOL and spray it into the air intake ( not for motor ) but for Heater / Ac system and for bunk unit..

 

there is a spray made just for heating/ac duct work---sometimes--you can get actual mold and crap growing in the air intake system for the cab--and this stuff kills and cleans it--kinda has a newish smell --not perfumy---i cant remember the name--maybe check with an ac shop--it wasnt an over the counter type of can
and if you have cab air filters--good idea to change those out as well
