There is a chance that this fix does not make your odor go away, I have rarely came across a stinky rear end.
I would have thought you had "been around" enough not to be able to say that.

At least someone else has this issue and Im not crazy

Tahoegirl does the smell on your hoe, come and go? If I really had to describe the smell, I would say it smells like a hair perm.

Im gonna try the different fuel as zx suggested, and will await what your dealer does and see if it resolves your issue. If it does I may take my hoe in and refer them to this..

Well...I just got back from the dealership and so far so good. No smell whatsoever!!

BlackBeauty-At first, I thought the smell was intermitent, but then I realized that the only time I could smell it was when the windows or sunroof was open. With the windows and sunroof shut, there was no smell at all in the cab. I described the smell as a natural gas/sulfur smell.[:'(] You might print out the bulletin ZX posted and take it to your dealership. Hopefully they figure it out for you. For what its worth, I know you mentioned that you can't leave your car at the dealership since its your only vehicle. My dealership provides a loaner car to people whose cars require an overnite stay provided your vehicle is under warranty-I think that's a GM "perk".
