Can't remember how this goes, smelled something funny on the way home. Just changed the oil so I thought it was the additive package burning out of the Rotella.
Then it smelled more like hot gear oil so figured "Great, I tore an axle seal installing the front axle shafts!"
Pulled over, no leaks or dripping gear oil....backed truck in driveway and it still reeked....
Went out about 15 minutes later, still reeking. Popped the hood annnnnnd.....
Right Hand battery boiling and hissing. Now I get thinking about it the voltmeter was running a bit high, but first trip this year so didn't catch it right off.
Looks like a pair of batteries are in my future tomorrow. At least it happened close to home.
That means the LH battery crapped out maybe??? I'll change them both regardless....
