Had someone get a hold of me today... said their turbo "smelled like rotten eggs".. only around the turbo area. Heavy smell, and can smell it in the cab of the truck.


I told him that it was not even in the engine .. His batteries were bulged out and have gone bad!.

After he pulled the battery cover off.. sure enough.. they were fried!.

Wasn't someone... It was me, and it wasn't my truck is was a Werner in a rest area...

I've had batteries cook before but from my memory they were a lot stronger, and one of those smells like bleach that stays stuck in your nose and you can kind of taste... This smell wasn't nowhere near that strong and what really threw me was that I couldn't smell it at all right at the step where the batteries were, I could only smell it in the cab or by the turbo...

Poor guy is still sitting here to, no one has come to even look at it yet, heard him talking to his break down and they refused to acknowledge him everytime he told them his batteries were swollen...

So glad I don't have to deal with those kind of people...

Thanks Rawze
