My experience with Dynsas APU and Boomers Diesel

Hi l just bought new Volvo 780 with 235 wheelbase and two 125 gallon tanks.Can you tell me where you install APU, because only free space on my truck is on driver side between DEF tank and Fuel tank and also l dont have removable side fairings ,it's be hard to do regular APU maintenance ? Thank you

 

They put mine on the drivers side. The skirt comes off. Mine has all those LED lights on it. You have to pop the skirt off to check the oil and do your oil change but it turns out not to be a very big deal. I can do it and I am mechanically brain dead.

 

Do you have both removable side skirt? On mine truck only front skirt is removable where are batteries located,so l heard thats is hard to take alone big skirt to check oil level and do service on APU. l have also led lights on it.

 

The front skirt is on hinges and is easily dropped. Then it gets tight. I do not remove the skirt to check the oil but I do to change the oil. You can pop the four release buttons on the unit and drop the cover then check the oil. It is a tight fit. But it goes on and off easily enough. And you get better at it in a couple of tries. The oil change requires you to remove the skirt. A few bolts and off it comes. 2 times a year. It would be nice if the oil dip stick were located on the side of the unit but a redesign seems unlikely.

 

Thank you soo much for these information,it's be great if you get pictures one day from your APU and post here.

 

I will do that. Thanks for the suggestion. Look for them in a couple of days.

 

Boomers is great, had mine installed there Jan 2012

 

You must be confused, the dynasys coolant tank is nowhere nearthe belt, never has been.

 

Wooly, adding the unit to your physical damage is normal for the financing, you list hem for the amount financed , just like the tractor
