    Where the plugs changed recently by chance? If the plugs arent torqued to the correct ft-lb you will get a fuel smell in the cab.

    Is this when it first starts from cold? Does it do it when its hot? Engines normally burn in open loop until the water temp reaches 185*F, which means the injectors dump more fuel to help the engine warm up quicker.

    Im not sure dealer said they just changed oil and wipers..ichecked and there are no exhaust leaks. So that should narrow it down.

    How many miles on your truck? And where did you buy it from, a Ford dealer or a smaller dealer/private dealer?
