Mine was delivered to my house and I honestly thought it was the guy that dropped it off... it seems to be stronger outside the truck now. Glad to know he wasn't clam baking in my new truck lol!

UPDATE: I installed the aFe intake today and took a quick spin. When I got back and parked in the garage, I didn't notice the stink. Wonder if the problem has something to do with the stock air box? Maybe that's where the drugs are getting smuggled in - the 'carbon' filter in the top of the stock air box....

Was this smell not present during the test drive????
Is this happening to everyone? If so, what is the difference I wonder?

Mine had a smell for a couple months, I thought it was from the etorque battery behind the back seat. I haven't noticed it for a while though.

Update to the Update: Mine still parties with Bluntman and Chronic. I took it for a longer drive today, and it's back and in full force after closing the garage door upon my return. Truck has close to 3000 miles on it now, and no sign of fading.

My brother in law said his was fixed when they replaced his radiator fan assembly

I suspect this would be costly for the dealership to start doing on their own without official notice that this was the cause.

Thanks! This is the best explanation I've heard so far! Hopefully they do a recall and take care of this issue! Not nausiating to me and can't smell it inside the truck so not too upset but wish they'd just fess up!
Same issue here. 2019 Limited. Skunk smell especially when parked in garage or idling. Any resolution?
Mine is in the shop for it now. I gave them the star case number listed on the thread. I also have brake noise.

Hmmm... Didn't see this as a feature on the window sticker but if it was. Order Code MJ - Accent smell to attract the munchies and relax to the point of non-functionality. Comes with preloaded movies Joe Dirt, Talladega Nights, Hot Tub Time Machine, Bill & Teds excellent adventure, Step Brothers, American Pie, and Superbad. $500

SOLUTION !!! Was the shroud for the radiator on the cab side. The replacement part 100% corrected the matter. 19 Limited

Any details on the shroud? What caused it to smell?

Why, oh why do I have an image of "cheech and chong" appearing very clearly in my head?
in particular when they smuggled weed in an old Caddy's fenders, the exhaust did burn the weed and a cop chasing them on a bike got completely stoned...
On the other hand, I hope my truck won't smell weed.
