Mine is at the dealer and they are working on replacing the fan assembly on it based off of a star case.

 

[ProKubinator]

can you please provide the star case number so I can give it to my dealer? Thank you

I wish I would have had the factory installed weed smell option on my Bighorn. It might have helped me forget about all the other issues I have had with my truck. Maybe I can get that added on. .

Have you gotten it back? If so what was done to remedy the issue. Mine is definitely related to climate system and it's just a funky smell. Not like a traditional musty but just funky lol. I leave mine in Auto 100% of the time. If I turn it off the smell disappears.

It will take a few days as I’m not home to take the pic until then.

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

I had my radiator fan assembly replaced today and it still smells......3800 miles on my truck now. I dont remember skunk smell when it was brand new, but has been there for the last 2500 miles.

I doubled my miles on a road trip afterwards and didn’t notice the smell the same at all

2500 miles on mine and she still smells like weed. Oh well, hoping a cop doesnt pull me over and arrest me

Could anyone remotely describe this as a slightly burnt rubber odor?

I get a what I would describe as a hint of burnt rubber smell from time to time, but a dealer hasn't been able to find anything problem yet.

I wonder if it's this 'weed like' odor issue?

I have a 2019 ram 1500 rebel with the 5.7l hemi and I have about 2000 miles on it. I always park it outside and yesterday I noticed a burning smell and a few minutes later when I parked I noticed there was smoke coming from under my hood

 

[JBreau]

Mine did that aswell and the tech blamed the coolent lines. I walked in the shop and flipped s**t and sniffed for myself and it was the shroud and it got replaced and it fixed it.

My dad works at the dealer and they told him the skunk smell is from the anti rust coating they now put on the exhaust. About 6000 miles on mine now and the smell is faint.

My dealer supposedly ordered my shroud weeks ago, haven't heard a peep... wonder if these, or the vented seat fan, are on some kind of back order? Or maybe they just forgot to call...

If that's the case, how are other members reporting the smell is gone once the fan shroud is replaced? Sounds like he was given inorrect information.
