    I know they use hangers/grabers . Spacer goes between truck and apu frame. Open space needed to wash back wall of apu. Back wall is a thin metal sheet that get rusted when road dirt is collected between truck frame and apu. without spacer it's hard to wash that area. Also buy a tool that needed to change the belt.

    What makes it better for you than the carrier counterpart?
    I've used the Comfort pro in a place I worked at and other than them being very loud, they weren't too bad. Kept the engine warm and batteries recharged. What does the termoking offer other than sound reduction to make it worth $5500 more?

    I don't know what makes them better. I had a comfort pro on my last truck. It was loud an when it was cold out you had to run the heater on high. An I thought the blower motor was loud also when on high. But for 5500 I can put up with it. I thought about buying one from apu center thought they mite have a refurbished one a lot cheaper. But I haven't heard anything about them. Thanks for the reply
