What's Your 20 Maverick

My APU is no longer blowing cold air. Do I have to get it fixed at a terminal or can I call fleet net? Anyone know?

 

You too? Mine died on Thursday in Amarillo, TX. I'm only getting the fan from mine. My buddy had his die as well a couple weeks ago. I'm going to try getting it fixed in Gary tomorrow after I deliver this load in Elkhart in the morning. Provided my next load goes that way of course. If not I'll see if I can get it fixed through FleetNet.

 

Yep. It sucks man. Had to idle for a few hours yesterday. It was 111 degrees. I was cooking in here. I took the filter out and it didn't do crap except tell me that the guys in LR don't change the filters when they do a PM. I'm far from a terminal but if it gets any hotter, calling fleet net.

 

Sounds like they just need to be reset...takes about 10 minutes to do it.

Pull the cover in the side box, pull the fuses, wait 5 minutes, put the fuses back in, replace the cover and turn it on.

That often fixes them when you're only getting the fan to run. I got the tip from a Freightliner tech...and turning off the battery disconnect does not do it...the APU still gets power with that off...you have to pull the fuses.

 

Parked at del. Elmira, ny.

 

Which side box do you mean? And I really appreciate it. I'll give it a shot.

 

Drivers side...

 

Appreciate ya man. Now my wife won't kill me tonight cause its hot. Have a safe one.

 

Got to Nextech in Turtle Creek/Pitt with no issues. Nice pleasant drive over here. Backed 'er in no problem right in. Got untarped and down to last two chains when Maintenance guy comes up and say... "Ugh...there's nobody here tonight to unload you...." Ugh... Draped the tarp back over the coil and went back out to park for the night. Guess I will have to work first thing in the morning... Goodnight.
