FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

Ryan and I talked about this the other day and I said I would post it after I had the inverter installed and
Could get an accurate voltage reading on my batteries to calibrate the voltage on your carrier apu so you can set it to monitor the voltage with the truck off.
With your truck batteries fully charged and apu off with zero electrical load on the batteries , look at the voltage on your on your inverter screen ...it should be right around 13.5 volts .
Now scroll thru the apu menu until you find " calibrate voltage " and hit menu again .....use the arrows to enter the voltage shown on your inverter screen and hit menu again.
The voltage is now calibrated and the battery monitor should function as intended with the unit cycling on and off to keep the batteries charged.
Ps....you must turn on the battery monitor on the control panel for this to work ....when it is on a battery icon will come on in the upper left corner of the display and it won't come when the truck engine is running.

 

I’ve never been to CB after hours, is there a trick?

 

If the gate don't open when you pull up close, call night dispatch they can get it opened. Transponder on your windshield is supposed to, but works when it wants to

 

Mines working properly now, but that's good info for next time it's messed up

 

The new inverter working out good?

 

Yeah I'm happy ! With it but just bought a 1100 watt one to run little stuff to keep hours off the apu .
What I'm really happy with is the receiver /dryer replaced and having ac on the apu sucked down and recharged , I can run it start stop now and it will freeze me out ! ...carrier recommends that every 2 years and mine was on year 5 lol.

 

Drove 3,370 miles this week out. Not too bad.

 

That's good miles for a 5 day work week.

 

With trucks being in limited supply who knows. Will I have to change to MackDaddy???
