TSB stands for technical service bulletin. It is basically a commonly occurring problem that the manufacturer is aware of, but doesn't warrant a recall. They will then issue a TSB with a proper fix or work-around so that dealers and service stations can properly address the issue. If your vehicle is still under warranty, the TSB's should be covered at no charge.
The sulfur smell is "normal" although unacceptable by many. The only time I notice it is if I accelerate hard with the rear window down, but I only have the rear window down in the summer when my dog is in the back. I chose not to have the dealer hacking at my exhaust system, so I am going to leave it as is.

Re: Re: Funny smell
i suspect you are right, i was thinking back to my chem lab days where concentrated chlorine, hcl or bleach would knock you on your a$$ if not under a fume hood...
mryan8517, provided what you are referring to is a result of driving withe the rear window down, it is part of owning the truck.

Might I suggest a much simpler solution:
After a minor scrape off-roading...I had to do some work on the last piece of the tail anyway. So I replaced the part and then I had a local shop that I trust...cut off the end of the pipe up to the resonator and weld on a stainless 2" bent pipe and the exhaust exits out the right of the truck...voila! Painted it black with some high temp paint so it wouldn't stand out. I hate those stupid shiny exhaust pipes!
Shouldn't cost you more than 40-50 bucks and 15 minutes to have a shop torch the end and weld on a new piece, and your exhaust exits out the side like it does on the older runners!
