    Oh, joy. I'm at about 2500 hours. I had a comfort pro back in 2013 when I was at Werner and it had problems as well. Why can't they install an inverter that is not reliant on the APU? I idled and the idle rate isn't terrible on these new trucks, but without an inverter, life on the road just sucks.

    I dunno my tk had recurring belt issues too. Slippin, trippin. Even after replacing the belt there were times it wouldent "grab" on the alternator so it would throw alt codes until I hit it with some belt dressing.

    People say to get a link removed from the belt on the carrier about every 1000 hour service. Some even reccomend getting it replaced every 2k. Carrier sees 1000 hours as 6mo of use on average. Tks always needed tightening. And it was a pain the ### to do. Don't see why they don't have tensioners on apus since the belt is always a point of failure for being too loose.

    Yep. Makes no sense that the wheel can't be tightened. But some they can, just mine is stationary.
    My problems last month was replacing switches and other stuff that makes cold air work. lol

    Check engine light, mil lit, def light blinking, derate. Called breakdown to see what the virtual technician email says.

    "Did you check windshield wiper fluid?"

    ...I want access to my trucks vt emails so that doesn't happen again....

    He wasent even listening to me. Oh well second dealership visit this month... On a Monday this will be great.

    I just wanted to know if it's just a bad def warning. I've had that before and the virtual tech email will say if it's that. And if so I'll go buy a couple boxes of the good stuff and fix the problem like I did last time.
