THE ADVENTURES CONTINUE - DFO gets a truck and hops on Schneider's IC Choice Program

My TriPak has done this off and on for years now, regardless of filter changes and taking it to the ThermoKing people to have them look at it.

What I do now once I want AC on is to set the temp low enough so the unit starts but before the AC clutch engages (defaults to 8 seconds on mine) I raise the temp up to 90 so it just idles away for a minute or two. Then I set the temp at what I like and if it starts to sputter I quickly raise the temp back up so the AC clutch disengages and it regains normal engine speed. Once it starts running normally with the AC clutch engaged it will run like that as long as necessary.

Good luck,

Jim

 

Mine did that too started trying to kill it's self when the clutch kicked in . It was my spin on fuel filter had water in it and was full drained it and ran fine .. Replaced filter when I got home .

note .. Once you replace the filter be sure to fill it just like on the truck and even then the Tri pac will throw the ENG CODE 4-5 times until it fully primes

 

Hate when that happens. Good time to check the load board.

 

Exactly, I don't mind sitting AS MUCH anymore LOL. The load board is like a bad crack cocaine addiction.

 

The load board is where you make your money.

 

You should run a side business during your 10 hr breaks. Sleep is overrated.

 

Yep...go sell the world's next miracle vitamin juice to all your friends and family and be the next bagazillionairy and win a free trip to Fiji

Don't forget to log the time spent as on duty though...

 

Sounds like the perfect pyramid scheme
