Holy cow that girl thirsty!!
Had my rig going on 4yrs in October, & recently stumbled into one a them ol scan guage dealio's.
According to the ScanGuage, idle bump'd to 850rpm, manual engine fan locked in, & the ac compressor cycling it reads .56-.70 gallon per hour. That's doable,,
@ ~$3.50 gal for 8-10hr idle
cost $19.60-$24.50 to keep cool
At 2gal per hour, or $70 bucks a night in your case, I'd be set'n in a cheap motel watch'n Gunsmoke or Bonanza fer sure! Lol
Seems that EPU was a smart move. Best a luck with er & keep the post coming Hand.

So got my rig back #3 injector never had the fuel line replaced and it was badly rusted and the injector was jammed open with rust. Blew the head gasket....again, also took the water pump and a couple other things with it.
Got about 4 hours down the road today and some moron durka decided to pull out infront of me from a dead stop even after i moved over. Had to panic brake and ended up for sure breaking my trailers leveling valve, likely blew at least 1 airbag, have flat spots in 6 trailer tires and yeeted my laptop into my shifter and basically exploded the screen. I am #### glad i have 23k brakes all around and top end drums even with my foot on the brake just incase he did a dumb i #### near hit him. Also moved almost 6000 pounds of scrap forward in the rig that ima now need to yeet to the back to get legal again.broke down plumber, FullMetalJacket, gekko1323 and 2 others Thank this. -
