Sirs,

Every time I turn my Truck on, there's always this smell that comes out of the exhaust. Smells like Sulfur or rotten eggs. Very embarrassing. What's the cause and can I do something about it?

Sounds to me like your catalytic converter has died, that is what causes the egg smell. your best bet is to replace the convertor.
