    You like the "updated" APU in Blackie? I think you need to take it on a trip and sit in the heat for a 10 more than once to see if it really is up to snuff. Especially if the truck is black...

    I think the newer APU's suck grass. But swaping APU's and/or rebuilding the old isn't practical either.

    Just carry around a spray bottle with water for spritzing, as you run arid regions, and go with Blackie....?

    This is all in vain. The OM has already made the choice. The illusion of a vote, is just for appearances. The OM is a Dictator. A sly one, at that. The choice has been made. Sorry Casper, Loyalty went out the window, when the OM conveniently left it open.
