    I have a 2015 freightliner, and for the past 2 days my truck had a really foul odor of rotten eggs. I have No clue as to why it stinks. But it's actually kind of difficult to take a deep breath.
    Any ideas??

    No dead animals in the heating ducts or dead hookers under the bed? If not I'd check the batteries. Voltage regulator may be screwy and overcharged the batteries.

    Thank you for your replies. After I posted the question I started to think that it is a battery problem. Once I get to Joplin I will have them check it out.
    Again I thank you guys .
