    lol the first truck I had, had the Tripak APU and 1500 watt inverter. I liked that setup better. I'd roll into a given customer that does not allow idling and shut my truck off the APU would automatically start up and pump out A/C.

    Another thing I liked about it was being able to cook soup in the crock pot while driving, just set it up to start cooking about 2 hours before I am set to end my day and boom have a hot meal ready when I'm done for the day.

    Yeah apparently they're getting ready for the Christmas parade.

    They were getting it when I was there and I didn't realize it and I walked out and they were driving the flatbed around and I was all what the hell?!

    So far, 4 new batteries, a new starter (still not sure on the logic of that). Still wouldn't start. ECM wasn't throwing any codes at all. After going through the entire fuel system, they found that the high pressure fuel pump wasn't putting out nowhere near the pressure needed and also getting new injectors. The tech didn't find it funny when I asked if they tested the flux capacitor.

    Hell yeah then! Other than the down time. Fresh injectors, fuel pump, batteries and starter. At least you ain't got to worry for a while about the fuel system.
