    This is what we are running on our 07's, and there are still bugs to be worked out on these machines. They haven't been trouble free, to say the least.

    The one on my truck is working great though.

    No, I know they work great, but what happened to the $7k price tag and 7-8 hours of labor??

    Yeah seriously, that price sounds way high. I remember them running around 8k and taking a day to install. Did you get that price from a ThermoKing location?

    I'd definitely look around.....cause they install them @ our shop in about 8 hrs.

    And mine has worked flawlessly.....since I got the hose clamps tightened up....that was the mechanic's fault anyway.

    My company has a bunch of the Canadian Rigmaster units and probably about 5 of the Tri-Pac units, they like the Tri-Paks better.One caution, if you are doing lots of rural roads, read 'gravel', I wouldn't bother with them, also, keep them clean. They aren't working out very well with the 'chicken' fleet.:biggrin_25516:

    Got a W900L Coming in Sept I have decided to go with Thermo King. Looked into most all the others but tri pac seems to have all the right stuff. Yep $9,000 but it will pay for itself. "gotta stay cool"
