had the sulfur tsb done twice and rotors turned because they were warped.
The sulfur smell is still there and my brakes feel much better..

Can't believe you fixed the smell, I love my smell it makes me feel closer to my 4runner when we both release the same odors

Wow, so many members on this board are having problems with warped rotors. My dad just had his rotors replaced after 8K becuase they were badly warped. I am still going strong on the originals after 22K. My truck gives off the sulfur smell quite often. I am not getting that fixed because when somebody tailgates me, I just step on it and watch their facial expressions!

I cannot smell anything while driving with my back window down. I tried and tried this last weekend to get a fart, none were cut. I really don't have a clue why some have the smell and some don't. I guess either does Toyota.

It could be because some states have higher sulphur content in the gas than others. The service manager at the dealership said that they have seen reports that puts Arkansas near the top of the list for high sulphur content, so they get all Toyota models being brought in for the smell, not just 4Runners.

So far no rotor problems, I did get the TSB done for the smell. Now my smell is gone. 25k 04 4runner V8 SE

I had read somewhere that Amoco Ultimate has the lowest sulfur content.
