    That was the only thing I liked about Prostars...the only battery a/c system worth a crap (as long as it had the autostart switch) and that water heating bunk heater system beats these air heating Airtronic systems hands down. Opti-idle systems will certainly keep me from EVER working there...even if Tonn resigned and Winston fixed all the micromanagement issues...I'll never drive an opti-idle truck again.

    None of mine did, the water pump wore out and got loud within a couple seasons but never leaked. I know it's expensive for a rebuild so they waited until that had no other choice. But having warm air front and back is so much more comfy than a blast furnace right under your knee.
     
    Astoh Thanks this.
