2015 F150 musty smell? EZ Fix.

[@prestonbolling3428]

I have a 2016 f150 and my truck seems to have the exact issues in all your videos. Glad to be able to fix em all

[@ScottieBMan]

Thanks bro! Also love the truck

[@hotforit]

Thanks for the info. My 2015 sat for almost a month during repeated heavy rains. One day I noticed water had collected (condensed) on the inside of the windshield. I dried it off and did a quick check for leaks. After a few more weeks I started to notice the mildew smell from inside and outside the truck. I have tried several products designed to rid the odor including a deodorizing bomb. The smell persists. I am going to try your elbow fix and I´m going to replace the cabin filter.

Update: it turned out to be the cabin air filter.

Good info. Having the same issue with my 2020. Did the pipe coming out have a few notches where the metal grommet held on? Wondering if I need to cut those off or if the elbow would fit tight enough? Any issues since your fix?

[@brohammer]

You should definitely trim the tube unless you use a lot of sealant otherwise you’ll just get leaks

[@GusMahn]

Do you have the part # for the elbow? Strangely my '04 F150, also a first year truck, had this exact same issue. I'm going to put this elbow on my '15 just in case.

It's in the video

[@nickdogg1993]

Please fill me in on the headlights you have... are those OEM with paint matched inserts? Or did you buy those? Thats the exact look I have been trying to accomplish!

[@_willalexander.88]

I separated them myself and painted.

I'm having problems with my turbo actuator in my 2015 2.7l any advice?

[@_willalexander.88]

Buy new ones if your sure is that. Pretty easy to swap out.

AC drain line is on the passenger side no driver side

[@srserpicol]

Driver side??? Did you mean the pax side??

[@_willalexander.88]

Correct

[@TheDepriest69]

Did that fix the issue? Because I have the same problem

[@_willalexander.88]

👍

[@Driftwood93]

Do you feel like this solved your issue?

[@_willalexander.88]

100% I have a 19 now and same issue. Can't believe they haven't addressed this yet.

[@Driftwood93]

@@_willalexander.88 did you notice the smell only after rain? That’s how it is for me at the moment

[@_willalexander.88]

@@Driftwood93 lift up all the padding and see if it's wet. All the way down to the metal. Mine was soaked. Not from rain.

[@SomethingSomething1337]

I have a 2021 with the same little drain hose you have, now having very smelly AC - Ford still ain’t fixed this issue…

[@brett639]

Do you think the heat from turbo/exhaust will melt the elbow?

[@_willalexander.88]

No way. It would need to be less then an inch away.

[@deanb949]

Other video shows using aluminum duct tape to cover the elbow and reflect the heat away from the firewall penetration.

[@_willalexander.88]

@@deanb949 100% not needed

[@deanb949]

@@_willalexander.88 I don't disagree, but I'd rather divert underhood heat away from the cabin. And seeing how insignificant that firewall seal is, I'm plastering foil tape over the penetration.
