    Thanks for catching the misspelling, i seem to be having a problem with the line in my bifocals and seeing were my fingers are on the keyboard. Yes, it's newbreeder, I seem to do better with my glasses off. How's that for an excuse?

    i just think no two trucks should look the same---not sure if i could stand it if i was looking at a line of blue/yellow or orange trucks and didnt know wich one was mine till i could see the number
    that is one thing i like about trucking--there still is to some extent a degree of individuality in it--now some companies try and take that away--by not letting you add anything to the trucks---but i do not want to be a zombie clone with only a string of numbers to seperate me from the other 1000 trucks you might pass in a day

    Why not? Inverters don't make any noise. Besides. Reefers make more noise than APUs. My only issue with an APU is when it's not running right and pumps noxious fumes into my truck. Which is why, if I ever get one again, I will sleeve my exhaust pipe and plumb the APU exhaust into the sleeve so it exhausts up.

    May be a stupid thought, but I wonder if an APU could be plumbed to the stack?:biggrin_2556:
