Started the Jeep this morning and it smelled funny(no jokes please) my best description would be wrotten eggs or propane, but this evening it was way way worse! I just towed my trailer home and when I got out I almost fell to the ground it was so strong.. anyone know what this is?????

 

Generally a failed cat. converter will smell like rotten eggs, although I can't see how you could kill a cat on a year old vehicle.

 

Already? is that even possible?

 

Anything is possible. Your cat may have been messed up at the factory.

 

"Your cat may have been messed up at the factory"

...one may have crawled up inside and died! Just kidding... We're animal lovers so I hate it when that happens...

Something similar here this morning but I found the culprit...the oldest son left his wet tennis shoes from last week's trip under the back seat!

Hope yours is as easy to find...

 

I pull 2 Kawasaki Ultra 150 jet skis with mine and when i back in my driveway to put them on the garage my clutch smells just like that. I think it is burning my clutch........sh$t! It only takes me 10 seconds, but it does the job.

 

I do have a 6 speed, and it started before I towed my trailer, just seemed 10 times worse after... I would have to say it is not the clutch... but something more to do with AIR FUEL mixture because After my oil change at the dealer day before yesterday the engine light came on turns out while the guy did the oil change he pushed a hose under the silver tube come from the top of the engine(sorry I don't know the terms) and it melted it. I think it may have to do with this... I will let you guys know.

 

My first guess would've been the cat as well. Those thing smell awful when they burn out. But if you are sure it’s not that, and found a melted hose, I would think its burning transmission fluid. The stuff already smells bad, and when it gets burned it really reeks. Maybe that was a vent line or cooler line that got melted and fluid it coming out?? There wasn’t any smoke coming out from under the Jeep was there?

 

I just think you have the walking farts and don't know it.
