    Your APU

    Hi Broom, Had to come to the defense of the Willis. We also have one and are very pleased with the unit. Yes it does cost more but lets compare apples to apples here. 3 cylinder engine compared to 2 cylinder units. SUPER QUITE.. We've moved away from some units because they were so noisy...

    Of Interest To Truck Camera Shoppers

    This is the second post concerning your camera system. Are you on a commission sales pitch? Good grief. Just because something costs more doesn't mean it works any better than a less expensive, more practical system. Just my opinion.

    Building a C-Unit

    Phil, Why don't you just put a link to each of your previous arguments. Seems like it's always the same thing over, and over and over again. Nothing personal, and I will only speak for myself, I find your bloviating a bit over the top and tired. While you were gone I looked forward to...

    Buying used truck

    Hi John, Congratulations on your decision to purchase your own truck. My only advise to you is to go with a REPUTABLE dealer. Through our own experience stay away from FYDA freightliner. They are the sharks in the industry. I can recommend Knoxville Freightliner at least they take care of...

    Fyda Freightliner

    Abe, I hope you put aside some money in case you start having problems with the truck. It is better to be prepared than to try to get any help from FYDA. As far as financing...as long as you have a pulse they'll find a way to get you financed through their "Trac-Flease" program. Wish you...

    Fyda Freightliner

    Abe, We still have it. After all the repairs and tires...we put drivers in it. We are fanatics about maintenance so far so good. But those first 6 months were really tough to get through.

    Fyda Freightliner

    We purchased one of the green 2001 freightliners just about a year ago. My advise to you is BEFORE you commit to ANYTHING FYDA sells, please do yourself a favor and take it to an independent shop have them put on the dyno and have them check it out thoroughly. As far as our experience...the...

    Super Single Tires

    We have them on our Volvo 780 straight truck. Never had them before and were just curious if anyone else had experience with them. Thanks for the input anyway.

    Super Single Tires

    Anyone out there have super singles on your straight truck? We have a class 8 and are curious about any difference in wet and or winter driving? Are you happy with them? Our truck is heavy and just curious about what we can expect with wear and driving conditions. Thank you.

    Need Information on APU's

    After the experiences we've had with our Proheat, it will surely be our last one we purchase. After $7200 to purchase and at least 7 times in the shop, downtime and add in the aggravation factor, not a very worthy purchase for us...hence the reason we won't purchase another one. Repeat...

    Need Information on APU's

    Thank you for your quick reply. In your application, do you think you are going to get enough 110 power out of a inverter to suit your needs? That is our one concern with Willis. It seems to me a real generator will do a better job but to avoid the inconvenience of the box under the bunk it...
