Default smells

2016 Ford F-150 smells like pro pain while driving at slow speeds or at a complete stop and when I turn on air conditioning/not ac it seems to come inside the cab real bad .... took to ford they can’t figure it out I heard it may be differential fluid smelling true or false ?????

At least it's not amateur pain. That smells horrid!

Could also be a small furry critter made its bed in the HVAC housing somewhere and passed away, RIP.
Been there with a dead mouse in another vehicle stored in my pole barn for a while.

Maybe check your cabin air filter and the blend door function. Install a fire extinguisher.

Clogged cat on a 2016 should be covered under warranty up to 8 years, 80K. But if it's already clogged, most likely you have a injector stuck open.
