Pulling the carpet and replacing it with with a quality commercial grade thick cut pile will make you love your truck. Obviously, if you pull all the carpet you can add a decent sound deadening product and upgraded pad. If you go that route you’ll wonder why you waited to do it.
The other route of cleaning it with a vacuum tool will make it better if done properly. You run the risk of a mildew bloom if you don’t get all the moisture out. The aftermarket carpet available is not the same quality as oem.
I’d recommend deciding on replacement or cleaning based on your budget and best cost options of both. Perhaps you could find a replacement OEM from a clean, low mileage late model, total loss truck w/ an identical chassis to pull a donor from. After cleaning and drying it, you’d have a perfect fit and 100% smoke free guaranteed.
