    HB the tripack alternator is much smaller then the one on the paccar
    it cant charge bad batteries on the truck constantly or will burn up
    That said if the apu is functioning it should have started the truck
    so new batteries might fix the overall problem but you might have another toasted apu alternator

    personally i would let Sean look at apu and get tires at Olathe

    Seen where a FedEx driver was shot and a driver at a rest stop was shot also. No info now but watch out for crazy people.

    Just saw on the news about a semi rollover outside of Pittsburg, hope none of you were involved or stuck in the backup from that.

    Looks like the driver wasn't paying attention while backing up to try and get off of that road as I cannot figure outhow the rears got so far off of the road.

    In regards to the pic, I think the guy who originally posted it ((who also posted a pic of the sign that said no turn for semis)) said that TransAm had turned in there, realized he screwed up, and was backing out of it and this is the result.

    I'm still at KW and FINA getting that swap lol. Stayed here overnight since I was already parked in the trailer drop. Woke up this morning and has no interior lights, no working power ports and no fridge. No bueno. There was enough of a charge that I was able to crank the truck though. So I checked back in and they were going to look at the alternator. They found another bad battery instead. So I'm getting a second new battery and a load to Marietta, OK. I will figure out the tire thing in the next few days.
