    This is an actual phone call to Velocity Truck Center in Vegas a little while ago-

    1:20 of prompts and presses to get to parts:

    "Hello this is DooBob, can I help you?"

    Do you have an alternator for an APU?

    "An ATU?"

    APU Alpha Peter Ulysses.

    "An APU? What's that?"

    Auxiliary Power Unit.

    "OH. Ummmmm. Hang on. I don't know what we do with those."

    The OM is thinking,"Do you know what you do with the hole in your ###?"

    DooBob returns,"No. You have to go to TK."

    Thanks.

    TK keeps bankers hours and will not sell you one on the weekend. They will install one for an emergency service for more than the actual APU costs though.

    I'll get one when I get back to Phoenix.

    Should have gotten one in Reno yesterday. After making sure agents and LS does what they're supposed to times three, it slipped my mind.
     
    Deere hunter, Vic Firth, Rocks and 5 others Thank this.

    You might want to shop around. Unlimited data plans are cheaper than that.
     
    WesternPlains and 650cat425 Thank this.

    Q
    Could just be the regulator is going out.
    That would be a quick and easy fix.
    Do you know if it is a 65 or 120 amp unit.
