    Does anybody have experience with the pacccar idle management. Does it work well enough for heating and cooling. What’s your average is for idle time during a 10? I know that is a loaded question but you may give examples. They will be welcome.

    I don’t see the option to have one factory installed on a new 389. Has anyone ever installed one on a 389? If you have, I’d like to hear your feedback.

    Are you talking about the EPU? We have one on the 2019 T680, and it works as advertised. Driver reports 60% battery life left after a 10, or more. That’s in the PNW. Your experience might be different in San Antone....

    We had one glitch that took the dealer three tries to figure out, blown fuse.... lol.
