    '16 Evo with a DD15 started stinking badly during warmup yesterday. It's coming out the exhaust. I drove the last 480 miles to the yard and it was just as bad. Now I'm spending my reset wondering if it needs to go to the doctor.

    I don't know... just a rotten smell, it is coming out the exhaust we think. At first I thought a critter had crawled into the frame and died. DPF related? Might try doing a forced regen.

    Rotten Egg or Sulfur Smell Coming from Diesel Exhaust | It ...
    https://itstillruns.com/rotten-egg-sulfur-smell...
    There are a couple of things than can cause a sulfur smell to be emitted with your exhaust gases. The first of which depends on the quality of the fuel available from your local gas station. If your gas station supplies the lowest grade of diesel, there could be up to 5000 PPM in sulfur content, which could cause a light-to-moderate sulfur or rotten egg smell in your exhaust.
