Does 2001 Dakota have a cabin air filter? How to remove smoke smell?

All soft materials and many hard plastics retain smoke smell for up to 4 years depending on climate. The only sure way to eliminate the smell is to replace everything with the odor.

I'm an ex-smoker and have some experience in auto detailing. My son, a smoker, had my Lebaron for a year before I got it and it still smells some after two years. I'm in the southwest desert area.

Sorry - no cab filter on a Dakota... the smell's in the upholstery.

Try Febreeze. I've had very good results with it.

ME TOO!! lol

My wife actually put someone that was over 3' tall in the back "seat" of the Dak and they managed to set off the can of spare tire under the seat in the jack area... The whole truck smelled like gas for weeks after I cleaned all the gunk out from under the seat, but my wife sprayed the seats and headliner with fabreeze and the smell flat disappeared..

It's just the voice of experience . .I've owned cats that spray and Febreeze doesn't hardly touch that smell.
