    Guess im gonna have to look at ur generator setup soon. These 6 month old batteries already wont run the bunk heater more than 6 hrs before the #### truck starts beeping at me waking me up. Was planning to do something before summer anyway. Idle time hits the wallet after awhile.

    And if you have a late model emissions truck, your wallet will cry over the cost of maintaining a prematurely soot clogged DPF.

    Your bunk heater probably just needs a new igniter.

    Lol. Idk, I idle mine a lot. Not every night, but a lot. I'm going to be comfortable when I sleep.

    My wallet doesn't cry at all. The maintenance on the emissions isn't that hard & it doesn't cost that much for the parts. Now, I said maintenance not replacing the DPF system. It will cost a little more to pay a shop to do the maintenance. But I don't have issues & my truck is a 2011 model with 854k miles, it's never had an apu on it.

    Have you had to replace either NoX sensor or doser injector yet? How often do you get the dpf filter cleaned?
