What does it smell like? Rotten eggs, if so it's Sulphar build up in the
exhaust. Most vehicles that get driven regularly burn this off. But if
you don't drive alot or only short distances it builds up and stinks on
high. It is also not good for the life span of your exhaust. Just bring
it up on the Highway and go for a good cruise every so often. I know
this is a burden, having to actually drive your Dakota and all, next
thing ya know you'll have to start spanking fords and chevys. ;-)
