Battery seems to have been overcharged or something and boiled over. I've had this happen before on an old plymouth and ford with external voltage regulators that had gone bad. Never had this happen on a newer vehicle. Also, the charge meter in the car doesn't show any abnormal readings. Not sure what is going on here, but battery fluid all over the case and that terrible smell fills the car. Any thoughts of what might be going on? If I take the alt out and have it tested will they be able to tell if the regulator is any good?
On a similar theme, since I need a new battery now, I'm open to any and all suggestions. I use the truck pretty hard so I need a good dependable battery that can take some off road abuse.
thanks
