Re: Stinky AC

I think this might just be an AC thing. I notice that the air gets real
humid, like it's evaporating off condensation or something. I never had AC
until recently. When I used to use my mom's truck it would do just that, I
thought it was just her car. Then when I got my Dak I was surprised it did
the same thing.

Just yesterday (it's been real hot here lately) I shut the AC off and
because of the light I could see a fog coming out of the vents. At first I
thought it was smoke, I almost screamed like a little girl. But it was just
the same moist funky smelling air.

Question:

I have a 2001 Daktota QC 4x4.

Whenever I switch from AC to normal Air, and particularly after
using the AC, I get a nasty rotten stink from the blower vents.
(it is there for a moment when AC is first turned on, and after
 the heater has ran for a while without AC on, the smell is gone)

I'm in So. Cal., and my truck is typically only driven 2-3 times a week.

Any idea what would be causing this ?

Can I solve this problem myself ?

If I have to take it in to the dealer, any idea what they would do
to fix the problem ?
