    Sulfur smell is bad battery or batteries. 100% on that one.

    Is it a really new truck? New truck smell?

    They will do that when they are new. That and melting plastic/rubber smell... Yay. :tard:

    Sulphur is usually batteries and DEF is urine so that's an entirely different stench.

    I wish it was one of the new freightliners. But no this one is a 2016 I think. 162k miles.

    I know the bottom bunk lid gets cold enough for moisture to accumulate under the matress in the winter...

    Maybe check the cab air filter and see if something is growing on it. It's on the passenger side below the windshield wiper, with long rectangular cap.

    Welp they stuffed us into a 2013 Volvo 10 speed rental. Its white. Lol

    I haven't shifted out on the road so I gotta remember how driving through the Rockies. I don't have a track suit either. This is just all wrong for me. It's only for a week though.

    My codriver is in the same boat as me. I heard him before I saw him... Grinding gears.
