    I’ve seen a lot of waterspouts in my life.

    Never seen one like that. Gnarly!

    Best thing about a APU is it's always there when your brand new Detroit powered truck craps it's pants and leaves you standed with codes it apparently takes space ship mechanics to diagnose. My Apu doesn't ask me about my truck warranty, loads lost, payments or anything. It just keeps me cool, warm, cooks my food and charges my batteries while I patiently wait for some overpayed moron to NOT fix my problem. I don't care what anyone thinks of my APU. It's become my best friend.
    Been a bad couple of days. Seems the only thing my mechanic knew how to do was cut my APU off. He is not nearly as good at getting things running.
     
    Rocks, InTooDeep, LoSt_AgAiN and 7 others Thank this.

    Encryption keeps "hackers" from accessing your full cc #'s. You have a better chance of getting your cc # stolen when swiping it at a store.

    "Hackers" can't just "go in" to your phone. You have to be transmitting data over an unsecure network that they can either capture or they set up their own network (basically spoof a wifi network) that dumb people will connect to because free wifi! and then they see all data that is transmitted.

    Apps keep your data secured.

    Also don't just keep cc #'s on your phone.

    They think it's a SCR issue, but I'm fairly sure she is blown at 350,000. 2 days in the shop and I just drove it home 200 hundred miles derated at 55 and now the oil pressure is 15 pounds down at idle. Blow m'fr blow. Gonna take it to another Freightliner dealer Tuesday. Apu runs like a champ. Lol. Just tired of incompetence. It's everywhere I turn. I understand this stuff is complicated but if you can't fix them don't make em. F'n had it.
