    I think they just threw metal shavings and voodoo inside everything in your nightmare rig. Still, you persevered and didn’t give up. :occasion5:

    ComfortPro is the seasoned kid on the block. On a seperate note, in Canada the government will rebate 50% of the cost of a new APU. And if you spend $20,000 on that type of technology, the province of Manitoba will rebate an additional $5,000.
     
    Siinman Thanks this.

    Current popular theroy in my family is that the last owner honked at a gypsy and startled her. And since she never saw the driver she cursed the truck instead. In all seriousness though ill still advocate for green over the major brands. Its nice to be able to go online or to any orileys and find everything you need to fix the unit. Hell its easier to get parts for then my bloody honda generator back home and easier to work on.
     
    Vampire, Siinman and ducnut Thank this.

    The is a big plus if you work on it yourself. TK is always over priced on parts.

    You save thousands of dollars in fuel with those apu's only to spend thousands of dolllars on their POS parts that break every 3 months...

    It is not the fuel that you are saving if you have an emissions truck. That savings could be more than the APU cost it self if you idle those trucks.
     
    Arctic_fox, Vampire and D.Tibbitt Thank this.

    Most all parts can be bought aftermarket and you can service it yourself ie filters oil and not spend hundreds of dollars at TK
