    Diagnosing AC problem

    I agree Guido, but it sounds like an expansion valve/orifice tube issue which means a good flushing of the system and replacing of the valve/tube. I asked about what vehicle because GM products didn't use vacuum for their blend doors but a servo.

    Came close today

    I would agree but for some reason sitting in Canadian rush hour traffic isn't the same as sitting in Chicago, New York or LA rush hour traffic.

    Came close today

    Layout, Glad you held your course. I have had that happen a few times, I don't let it get to me and don't think about how close it is. I lost a couple mirrors coming off the GWB because these container trucks pass me on the right and try not to hit the walls. The other day traveling on I40...

    Would you use a Expedite Broker

    Dave (Bruno), If I could I would use it. Phil showed me something, through all his research and studying means really nothing. Unless he uses someone’s services, he is assuming that brokered freight equates to cheap freight. FedEx should not have any issues with freight. They...

    The benefits of hanging around truck drivers

    Fat to chubby, know how you feel there. I stood in line for my morning sub and was surrounded by guys and gals who had to weigh in more than an APU. I felt skinny. The other day I am watching as a couple got out of their Volvo, the guy had to tip 400 and she wasn't too far behind. His pants...

    What kind of generator do I need to run a 13000 btu air conditioner?

    That's true, I didn't explain it well enough. The surface area is 80 sq/in, my thinking is to increase the surface area, not the volume of the evaporator by using a mount that will also act as a heat sink of sorts. Maybe this will also effect it, what do you think?

    Dave, You have to be part of the 'in-crowd' to enjoy that privilege.

    What kind of generator do I need to run a 13000 btu air conditioner?

    I don't see why not. I have 258 cu/ft in the sleeper and about 115 in the cab. With the insulation in the sleeper, and the 'curtains' shut, it stays cool for a while in 100 degree temps. The sun is the real issue, I have to add the last layer of heat barrier stuff and moisture barrier and then...

    It seems that someone is out of touch

    "Countries that once denied the existence of human trafficking now work to identify victims and help them overcome the trauma of modern slavery, as well as hold responsible those who enslave others," - Hillary clinton It seems on the heels of a state department report that says 12 million...

    What kind of generator do I need to run a 13000 btu air conditioner?

    You know Chef, for some reason the inverter generators seem to handle it a lot better than the normal old style generator.

    Personal Conveyance Use Of Truck

    Steve, I go back to what I was told by a few state DOT officers, who actually enforce the law and other said I was FOS. They said that if it has a box, then it is considered under load until it is found otherwise. That is because they can't tell what's in the box. With a tractor, as one said...

    What kind of generator do I need to run a 13000 btu air conditioner?

    That's not what a 13,000 unit draws, they draw at least 12 amps, or at 115 vac - 1350 watts. My 5500 BTU unit draws 8.3 amps. 3000 watt generator produces 26 amps.

    What kind of generator do I need to run a 13000 btu air conditioner?

    2000 watts may be pushing it. According to my records the last A/C unit I had, it took a 3000 generator to keep it going. The start up current was the problem, it was an older model and used 3200 watts on start up. 13,000 btus is a lot, I have a 5500 in the truck ready to install. I tested...

    Personal Conveyance Use Of Truck

    Charles, I agree. MYGIA, me too. I have no choice but to log driving on duty when the truck moves. I think that many are crying about things because of the 'unfairness' of all of it without understanding the whys with their carrier. FedEx has some great operators who do some amazing things...

    Qualcomm Charges

    You are right to a point. I didn't remove my signs, they are baked on the truck and wasn't asked about signage being removed at all. I removed what I could, I hope to paint this thing soon to get rid of the shadow FedEx words The only things I had to return was the qualcomm unit which I...

    Arizona's Next Immigration Target: Children of Illegals

    OVM, YOU CAN NOT "CHALLENGE" AN AMENDMENT IN COURT - PERIOD The same goes for the congress of the United States nullifying an amendment through legislation, it can't be done. It means that people residing in territories and other places where the United States controls, like embassies and...

    Qualcomm Charges

    Leo, I came to the conclusion that it doesn't matter because this is all about business and nothing else. I don't have the choice to tell anyone no, even though it isn't all that needed for a lot of the work we do, it is what they - pick a company - has as a package to lease with them...

    Personal Conveyance Use Of Truck

    In your scenario, the dot would put you OSS for 10 hours if you are caught. Relocation is a business thing, and under Bigred's explination, it is a business thing, not a personal thing. Beside of all of this, FedEx may have a Corporate policy about personal use. With that said not all...
