Default Gas smell in cab
When I crank up the ignition, I have a gas smell in the cab. It doesn't seem the last two terribly long however.

What are the things I should immediately check?

Thanks

Lol, not passenger or driver.

Not sure on exhaust or raw, but I would guess raw

Make sure all your spark plugs are tight. I think the torque spec is 27lb.

Give that a try. Myself as well as many others have had this problem. Was as simple as tightening the plugs.

X2. This was an issue I encountered. Even worse, the dealership did the spark plugs. You'd think they would've torqued them.

The dealership does torque them. The issue is this generation's plugs love to back themselves out a lot. It's very common.
