Well, for some reason after I turn my heat on, after about a minute it starts to smell like pure [censored]. No dead animals in the engine bay. One day it was fine, the next morning it was disgusting. Kinda odd, but anybody know what the damn deal is?

How old is the cabin air filter? Might be time to change it, especially if its starting to collect mold.

I replaced my cabin air filter and it made a huuuge difference. I bought it from auto zone $15 for a Bosch one

Replace the cabin air filter, which is located under the windshield cowl on the passenger side. You should also spray some a/c vent disinfectant in there before installing the new filter. You can purchase this at almost any autoparts store. Mold can form inside the air ducts and cause them to smell with the heat. The disinfecting spray will kill it and freshen up the air. Also, mice like to nest right in front of the cabin filter so I would guess that is the source of your stank.
