    I used to sweat it out in the summer and I always used to have a 12v cooler I could just take with me. This truck has a built in fridge that I don’t want to turn off and clean out every weekend, and I’m tired of sweating in the summer. Plus I don’t really want to idle an emission truck.

    I can sleep through an idling straight piped ISX that is dumped 2ft behind the cab. My TK apu is much much quieter and there's no vibration from the truck engine either.

    I really couldn't see much of a difference if its mounted up higher. I'd bet after 1 night you'd never notice it
