is the smell just after youve been running it hard? Does it do it everytime you drive?? more info might help...ive never smelt any gases really except my farts!! Is the sulfur smell strong, or just noticable?

An exhaust leak can definately stink up the cab if it's in the right (or wrong) place.

I had a funky odor last year for a few days, turned out the nut to my boost gauge had backed off and I was getting "engine air" smell in the cab. At least I guess that's what it was, I tightened it up and the smell has never returned.

I get a whiff of diesel exhaust smell occasionally, but I enjoy that. Guess I'm just weird that way.........

I know their is a cabin filter that can be changed, it is part of the higher milage service that Ford reccomends. I think the wiper cowl piece has to be removed , and the filter is under.

Could be that your filter needs to be replaced....

Does the truck have a catalytic converter? If so could, it be bad.
