Exaust Smell?
Hey guys and gals! I own a 08 f150 and have about 1000 miles on it and notice a rotten egg smell from the exaust. More noticable during a period of 50 mph drives and then stopping. I know this smell is from the cats but is this just a normal thing for these trucks?

Did it just start? Did you fill up from a different gas station? I had it once at about 2k it was there for a couple of days then gone. Lars

If it keeps it up take it back to the dealer.

Isn't that smell from sulfur in the fuel? Lars! You remember the same thing I do! I got it in gas from a Chevron station back then. I stopped using Chevron when that happened and I still feel "queasy" every time I'm sort of "forced" to fill up at a Chevron station on trips, because my tank is low and that's what's available.
About a week ago, we were driving back from a trip with our grandchildren and I smelled it again. Once we all figured out it wasn't one of us, I decided it had to be sulfur laden fuel again. - Jack

My 05 and my 08 both stink to high heaven...My cousins 08 does it as well so i figure its either the local fuel or just the trucks...

I'll try filling up at a different station next fillup and see if it helps.
