Changed cabin filter, did nothing. Smells like BO and burning rubber. Any ideas? It's unbearable. Only have 36,000 miles.

Dose your truck make a loud squealing sounds and you see white smoke in your mirrors frequently?

Do you have a hemi?

Unfortunately I do have the hemi. Bvery underpowered for how big it is. Ecoboost would be much better.

Underpowered?

Compare it to the other V-8‘s in its class and then tell me if it’s under powered.

Eco-boost is TwinTurbo you can’t compare the two.

Their is a old trick at the dealer if they don't like you or your a problem customer they pour ***** in the vents across the top of the dashboard. That smell never goes away you would have to take the dash out and change out the vents:banana-mario:

OP, You likely need to clean your heater coil or evaporator coil which is not easy to do.

I agree with you about the Ecoboost. I drove a 2012 that put down 420 hp and 510 lb-ft at the wheels with just a tune before I got my Ram and it would run like a scalded ape even with a trailer behind. Even in stock for it was pretty powerful especially in the lower rpms between 1,500 and 3,500 rpm. It also helped that it had way better trans gearing than the 66RFE hooked up to the 6.4L.

Chevy 5.3 is 355/383

Ford5.0 is 395/400

Ram 5.7 is 395/410

Old pig or not. It is no slouch. And neither V8 has more than the ram.
