hello Rick, sorry about screwing up my first msg here...i smell the gasoline odor in the truck...as well as outside...has had a complete tune-up...one oxygen sensor was supposed to have been put on last year...but whether it really was or not, i don't know. check engine light stays on mostly...one mechanic told me the soot was because it was flooding so bad...too much gas coming through...but he had no suggestions....about 6 months ago i had a mechanic look at it because it would just die if u came to a stop...anywhere. He put a screen over something...ran great..for about 24 hrs., then the same thing. I just put a new controle module in it for my 4wd...as well as oil change, heater coil(this makes the 2nd one), and flushing the radiator. I also had a cadilic convertor put on...and some kinda valve that has a pin that is supposed to pop in and out...but mine was stuck...when i start it, gas fumes are really strong, and it idles like it wants to quit, then idles higher, then almost dies again...hope this helps...ty Kelly
