need more info than that, where does the smell come from and under what conditions does it smell e.g comes from trunk when I first start car etc. the easy answer is you keep leaving eggs in your car to rot. need specifics
it is happen to old engine because the oil that escape from the engine(engine cover near the exhaust) when it is got hot it sends bad smell but after how many minutes if it already dried up because of heat it will gone (like frying using the used cooking oil in pan there is a different smell).
You have a faulty battery, that's probably what killed the other alternator. The rotten egg smell is gases coming from your battery. Change the battery before you cook the second alternator.
The rotten egg smell if it is coming from the exhaust is a very good sign that you catalytic converter has failed or is failing. but a bad or battery that is being overcharged can also make a rotten egg like smell.
You have a bad battery and it needs to be replaced. The rotten egg or sulfer smell is coming from the acid in the battery. I would not continue to jump the vehicle as the battery could explode.
The "rotten-egg" smell is caused indirectly by the catalytic converter.
The main cause is a rich mixture condition from the engine. Your SUV is equipped
with a computer controlled engine management system. You can scan your computer
for fault or error codes. The information should pinpoint the malfunctioning components. There is an alternate reason for the rotten egg smell. this also can be caused by a over charged battery. if so, make sure the alternator isn't overcharging the battery cell. it will boil the contents causing the egg smell. I recommend a diagnostic run to make sure what this problem is.
