And we get all that crap from China, where they have no manufacturing standards.
Pretty scary, honestly.broke down plumber, The_vett and Concorde Thank this. -
Anyway, so I park at the old place, and I was thinking, "Man ya'll need to do something with your sewer."
So, I went to bed, it wasn't that bad, and woke up in the morning with dead batteries. Fortunately, there's a TA with a shop right across the street. They came over, jumped me off and I went across the street and got my batteries changed out.
So, if it smells like somebody just cut a really bad fart, you probably have battery problems. (Or check your shorts).broke down plumber, The_vett and Numb Thank this. -
I would think that your apu is roasting the batteries, so have that checked and the engine alternator to make sure that it isn't overcharging the battery bank.
I wonder how old those batteries are?
Did you but the truck with these batteries?
I would think if you didn't have them check the batteries when you bought the truck, you should have replaced them. -
All four Batteries are now replaced. I called the previous owner and he said he didn’t remember replacing them and he was the only owner. The truck is a 2020 so If he had it had been a couple years.
either way they are new now. -
