Question Help !!!!!!!!!!!

I own a 2007 LT3 Tahoe with 26000 miles on it. Picked it up Nov 21 st 2007

Ok so we went on a trip from San Jose to Yuma Arizona to pick up a 16' Toy Hauler. On the way back My Wife rolled her window down and Yuk it smells like propane gas and or Sulfur BAD!! We were at a Gas station so we thought it was their filling station. Later on she opened the window and Pow again.

I thought it may be because we are towing the trailer and Srug it off.

So today I am driving home and put down the windows and there it is again. I am not towing I am going 45 mph and the smell gets really BAD!! I need some help here. What do you think is causing this????

I am going to bring it to the dealer but don't want to get charged. Since I am out of my 1 year warranty. It is a motor related subject and I have had the trannny reworked already since 1st went out already.

+I am Pissed!!!

Thank you,

Hugh

the sulphur or S02 could be the cat but the propane smell could also be a heavy grease getting hot like wheel bearing grease this could also be the sulphur smell too
