What owners wrote
While traveling consumer passed out and vehicle ran off road. Also, noticed fumes inside cab. Driver believes that carbon monoxide fumes were coming into the vehicle, causing him to pass out.
Gas tank straps rusted through and gas tank fell out. I fixed it by installing my own straps bought at a hardware store. This is a very dangerous problem.
