Asking not saying....?

EDIT:
I'm thinking that this or the carbon filter will solve the symptom (the smell) but not the disease (the actual mold/mildew), but am I overthinking it?

That model looks like overkill. If there is such a thing. It will get rid of the odor, but probably won't do much for eroot cause.

Carbonized Cabin Filter takes the smell out vs killing the mold and mildew but yes it works. Does Ford make Carbonized Cabin Air Filter for Raptors or who? How much? A link would be great!

• 10$ free shipping. Works like a charm. There's no mold or mildew anywhere. Just some residual moisture from the a/c unit condensation and the odor blows thru the system.

Open the windows and turn off the recirc when you fart.

I've been using this method for 40 years with great results.

Carbon Filter works to clear that odor too...

Bugs in the Rad. I live in Canada and summer bugs can smell bad when they build up. Fine mesh screen to cover

OK, so I bought this and this smaller one:

The smaller one I tried twice, but it did not seem to put out enough ozone to do much in the truck/the smell survived. I like that it is rechargeable and portable though, so I will hopefully get some use out of it for hunting, etc.

The larger one puts on a show and puts out some ozone...I ran it in the car for 10 minutes this weekend, and it noticeably filled the truck with ozone/seems to have worked. I will use it periodically going forward, and also change the cabin filter.

Doesnt Ozone eat rubber, vinyl, & leather over time? I had a tire shop tell me my sidewalls were cracking because of Ozone.

Im ordering one of the charcoal cabin filters from Amazon and will soak the AC intakes with Lysol before installing the Cabin filter. No smell yet but want to keep it that way!
