That is for the time the truck is in operation such as driving. Nothing about when it is parked. -
This has been going on since last Febuary? And some drivers wonder why they get treated like dogs, because they allow it.
TheHealthyDriver Thanks this. -
Yes but he did not need it for nearly 5 months so it was FORGOTTEN about by both sides.

company's like this should..............I don't know what.
I never can imagine the owner's would like it if there furnace quit working for one night.
I do believe it is maybe a little better in the North. Cold is extremely dangerous, and I think if that happened up here, a few calls to the proper officials would get the ball rolling.
Hope he gets it fixed, real soon. -

OK, bring it up by my place and park it for a night. Pay no attention to the noise and wrenches. It'll be gone before you know it. LOL

INFORMATION!!
You said ThermoKing so it's a TriPac.
I'm going out on a limb here and going to get you to ask him this question...
What does the espar heater do?
Ask him if it sounds like it comes on, then the fan runs up real fast then idles down and shuts off. This was what mine did several times before it died.
He needs to listen to it and then tell them what it's doing instead of telling them "it doesn't work!" That's what it took to figure out what it was on mine. I looked at the pdf of the espar heaters and well they aren't the same units I had! I had the first generation of them and when you open the cover up there was a control CPU that unscrewed and unplugged and that was the only thing that kept going bad on mine! It could even be a crack in the fuel line and it's lost the suction. The units are so basic it shouldn't be that hard to figure out.
