Re: 05 Stinks!!

The 2005's have an air injection system that blows air into the catalytic converter under certain conditions to 'enhance' the chemical reaction in the cat (increase light-off). That's probably what you smelled. The cat lit off due to air injection & gave u a burst of stink. There is a ~1"dia hose that steals filtered air from the air intake tube, routes it under the truck to an electric blower, then to the exhaust.
