    I'm glad to be out of southern Cali. My APU didn't like the 115 degrees heat and the reefer didn't either. It would randomly shut down while driving down the road. One moment it's a low refrigerant code, then a high discharge pressure, sometimes both, and other random ### codes. If I parked, it ran fine and wouldn't throw random codes. So, yesterday evening I shutdown at the TA in Coachella and got going again at 3am PST. Ran all the way to Las Cruces, NM and it didn't shut down or throw a single code. And the APU is running normally again.

    Mine was yesterday and the day before while I was in Cali. Every time I got of the truck it felt like I was walking in an oven.
