What does the exhaust smell like at idle? (If you can smell it at highway speed, I'll send you a cookie. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />)


Michael, I want my cookie. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> The aerodynamics of the Trooper (did I just say those two words in the same sentence?) will cause the air around the back doors to be very turbulent and actually kick into the back of the truck. If you prop the back doors open and go for a ride, you will most certainly smell the exhaust, at any speed. With the doors open (and the front windows) you'll get a cross-ventilation effect where the exhaust will go in through the back doors, right up through the passenger compartment, past the driver's nose, and back out the driver's window. I've personally experienced exhaust smells using this method that made my eyes water they were so rich. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Are your cookies any good? Maybe I'll just wait til the next time I see you in Moab to get it...

By the way, Jeepfiend -- AutoZone has a sign on their window where they advertise free code-scanning for your CEL... The sign also says they can test all kinds of things --alternators, batteries, this, that, the other... Including ECM's. Dunno if it'll show your problem, but it might be worth stopping over there...
