I am experiencing the same thing. truck sits outside and climate control is normaly on Auto with recerc off. smell goes away as soon as the truck gets moving.
To get my F250 in the garage along with the wife's explorer, I have to fold the mirrors in. My old f250 did not have the electric mirrors and I did it everyday by hand. I worry about using the electric mirrors everyday.
1. Am I worried about anything or should I just do it ?

Resolution to Low Oil Pressure Issue
The decision has been made.. jack up the radiator cap and replace everything else. An all new engine , including new turbo will be pulled off the line and sent to Denver. Nothing will be reused or rebuilt. Should get it back in 9 or 10 more days.

Oil level is OK, and now I get the low oil pressure warning message almost every time I start it up. A slight increase in RPM seems to kill the light but it goes to the shop tuesday for a look-see.
So I have a new 6.7L F250 and have seen a low oil pressure message every time I start the truck when I have parked pointing uphill. When I park pointing downhill I do not get low oil pressure message. My driveway, according to the dash info center is 5 to 6 degrees. Is the oil pump located so...
