    Wait till it's fixed, lol.
    I have some problems too right now, seems my alternator of the apu is not charging the batteries perfectly. Get a low voltage warning from my bunk every few days, even when the apu is running. In my old truck I always had 14.4 volt on the display of my inverter when the apu was running, in this truck it varies all the time. Will be in Omaha tomorrow and visit the shop.

    I'd bet that's issue ...have a friend had a while back with this issue and you just refreshed my memory.

    I haven't checked the oil pressure monitor yet and does anybody know where it is ?
    Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]

    It's on the back of the motor near the alternator.

    I only run the apu for a/c or if it’s like in 20-40 degrees for heat. I’ve noticed it tends to take a #### in brutal sub zero temps. I have a tripac though
