PSI in tire question and odor suggestions

[bluechip71]

Door jamb says cold tire PSI 32lbs.
Anyone else find that to be low?

The Marlboro man owned the vehicle before me. I have tried Ozone, Auto Shock, deep clean, changed interior filter and had it scrubbed. That smoke odor is a tough cookie.
Any suggestions before I replace the seats with Katzkin and change out the headliner.

Thanks in advance.

Tire pressure is fine for OEM size tires.

Have you looked into the charcoal absorption packs? Place them under the seats. Will take awhile, but will eventually get it.

That's the correct pressure for your stock truck, no cargo, accessories, or passengers. If you have anything added from stock, add 1 psi for every 200 lbs. Also add psi if you haul or tow regularly to help even out tire wear. My truck is 36 psi stock, so I run at 37 in the winter (side steps, bed cover, and my wife) and 39 during the summer - I tow a boat every weekend and haul 200 lbs from time to time for camping. This should even out the wear over the life of the tires.

I'm not sure you'll ever get out the smoker smell completely. It will likely always be there to some degree.

You've already tried ozone and I think that does the best to reduce it after a thorough cleaning.

That is why I don't buy those vehicles.

For the seats, if they are not leather, you can try the upholstery tool that often comes with commercial grade carpet cleaners of the type you rent at, for example, Home Depot.

Headliner may be impossible to deal with short of replacing it. If you are going to replace it, and don't care about potentially damaging it, try the upholstery tool on the headliner.

After all the cleaning is done, park the truck with windows down (hopefully you have a secure spot to do this indoors) and set up a large pedestal fan. They are like $40 in Home Depot. They are also good to have around if you have a patio or deck, as they disperse insects in the summertime.

Once everything dries, give the interior a good shot of the Fabreeze odor killer.

Also, price the headliner and make sure it is available before you use the cleaning attachment on it.

Good luck and HTH.

Did you use an ozone spray? Or an ozone generator? It could take a couple days for the ozone generator to get rid of it

As for tire pressure. That is the factory recommended pressures, but I found 40psi to be a better PSI on the factory WildPeaks. Improved the feel of the truck and tread wear was still even

How did you do the Ozone treatment? You can buy a device from Amazon and run it for like overnight multiple days in a row that seems to kill most smoke smell. The key is doing it for long periods of time.

when i was working at a hotel whenever customers smoked in room we put the room out of order for a few days and run ozone machine nonstop for at least 48 hours.
Then we charge the smoker for loss revenue. If you can run a machine run it for 48 hours or more straight. That should get rid of it.




or you can start smoking too to cover the old smell lol

O3 generators may help get rid of odors, but they can cause damage to rubber, fabric and plastic with too much exposure. It'll make things crack, brittle and weak.
Don't over-do it.

Depends on the tire size, usage (towing, off-road) and type of tire. Someone running your same setup and usage will be the best to chime in. You could chalk them and see how they run at different pressures.

Ozone generator, you can rent them. As others said, just don’t over do it as it can cause damage to interior.

Look for detailing videos on YouTube for guidance on Ozone generator recommended usage times.

Was the truck in a hot weather region, AC on high with high fan speed can load up the evaporation coil with the smoke residue (tar and nicotine).

Just picked the first youtube video, I have no knowledge of this product, nor do I have any vested interests.

The Toyota one works great at removing that locker room smell.
I used to run that thing on my 4Runner once a year and the stuff that get flushed out is just... nasty. No more locker room smell afterwards too.

I don't smoke inside the vehicles so can't attest to how well it works at removing the smoke smell.

Put this in the truck and run the truck with the heat on full blast (with recirc on) and all the windows shut for 30 minutes then turn it off and let it sit overnight, then let it air out the next day.

Don't know if it's snake oil, but the commercials say Pooph eliminates all odors, even skunk.

Funny coincidence, my daughter called this morning to say a skunk sprayed, when hubby hit garage door opener, and now her garage and car stink. I told her to find Pooph. I will report if it is real or snake oil, when she tries it.

I used Netzett Klima Kleener on a German sports car I bought in 2019...worked very well. You do need to follow the directions about airing it out after application...stuff is pretty strong. The cleaning smell went away after a week but the car was much, much cleaner smelling overall. Obviously replaced the cabin and intake filters while I did this.

Best odor eliminator I have found. I have tried a lot. The best IMO.

Totally gets rid of skunk smell on dogs and in truck. My dog gets hit by skunk every year.

The label has changed, same stuff.

Daughter said Pooph did work! Husband had work boots in the garage where skunk sprayed. They picked up the scent. Sprayed them, and smell went away.
