    Put a piece of duct tape over that green light. It's surprising bright at night and keeps me awake unless I cover it up. Your company should have a manual on the tractor so you can learn all the basics. Here's a PDF version, http://www.t3-infos.de/images/Eberspaecher_Airtronic_D2_D4.pdf

    They run best on kerosene. Much cleaner fuel. I know a few guys that run a small bottle of kerosene through it a few times a year to help clean things out.

    Aint that the truth. Mine works in all positions but OFF. Supposed to be able to be programmed to stay on for longer than 5 minutes, but mine only works for about that long without the truck running. So I have to idle regardless o_O

    That sucks, mine is programmed for 10 hours. I can't sleep good with the truck running. I don't even like to park next to other trucks that are running, especially reffers. What's the point of a bunk heater if the truck is running anyways lol

    I still run the bunk heater. Like the fact of the thermostat. Shop says theres nothing they can do with it, so I idle as much as necessary. My company doesn't look at that too much so its not too big of deal.

    It's not wired correctly, it should ONLY work in the off or acc positions! Also to help it stay clean only turn it off at the control, if it's running and you start the truck, it shuts down to quickly and will foul the igniter.
