    The cost of staying warm

    Hmm. Read my post and ask a question with the answer in it... Still happy to answer Yep, a 22 straight with an invertor, just not enough to meet my needs. Old 2007 truck, not worth putting more money into, but it's all I've got to work with at the moment. Best thing about it is that it's...

    The cost of staying warm

    I'm saving for an APU for a straight truck, there's no other way that makes sense. Van guys, Espar makes sense if you have a low need for 110 power. I don't like waking up in the middle of the night shivering, or baking in the oven with the bugs I am tired of starting up every time I want a...

    How would you choose?

    Its a tragedy to even have to make a choice like that. Knowing, and speaking for myself, I would have been greatful for my Life so far, but chosen to move on. For me, quality of Life is much more important than simply staying alive. JMHO Sent from my SM-N910V using EO Forums mobile app

    Nervous newbie

    I'm with you on both points. My cat is my kid/companion so she stays in the truck, it's home to her. I can leave the door open with no worries, no matter where I happen to be, or how noisy. I'm lucky that way, a devoted cat man. I had to stay at a hotel during truck repairs and if it was an...

    Josh, that sucks man. Any help yet? The clean idle thing can be a pain. I used to drive a 2015 Cascadia with the DD 15 and a 10 speed. The idle time out could be overcome with the cruise, it took some fiddling around, but you could do it. Is it that the APU is not making enough heat for you, or...

    If you really want to spend that kind of time putting this Wimpy Frankenstein together, plan on spending a Lot of time wrenching, getting all the bugs out, and even more time shifting that 13 speed to keep that little screamer in the power band. ( The 13 speed is my favorite tranny, but I...

    I'm curious, what are you guys making as a team working for a FedEx owner? I am an owner operator trying to find a partner that wants to do this, but obviously the pay has to justify a Life Change. Is this a good situation for a team or couple? What can we expect income wise if we own the...

    new sprinter van coming out

    I have never heard of diesel exhaust particles in a gasser exhaust system. That said, I'm sure they will find a way to complicate it and make it costly to service. Higher costs for Everyone! Merry Christmas! Sent from my SM-N910V using EO Forums mobile app
