I usually find that it is the truck a half mile in front of me. Once passed, the smell goes away.

Sulfur?

if it's a sulfur like smell then take it to the dealer there's a TSB to get it fix for free

IFAIK, on the tsb there is a prob with the front exhaust pipe melting closed - they will put a new front pipe on and its good for a couple HP over new stock! I guess its a dual wall pipe to keep exhaust hot for the converter, but us hard driving guys toast the thing. They used to have 'em on big Chevy's to make the car quieter and they had the same problem. Fixed a few in my shop back in the day ...
