Check for any dead animals in the undercarriage....that's my first guess.

hey thanks i read the article i will have to try one of the fixes. i read a thread the other day about a smell from the a/c but i did a search and could not find it ,maybe the lysol will work, it's been in the high 90's hear and my a/c smells like a dead animal.

Does the smell occur all the time or after you run it hard or when you are towing a load?

all of the time seems worse when idleing.the smell came out of know where, one day it worked next day yuck! truck temp. is fine i hosed out the radiator the best i could but not much change,first i thought i had a varment stuck some where but the article on the evap.tell's me i'm not the only one.

The smell in my truck smells like stale pee when you are towing a trailer and the egt's get into the 850-900 degree range. I lose water also.

no mine runs good, just smells like i'm hauling a dead body around
