Carrier Reefers TCUs

[iceroadtrucker]

Just for your information Carriers Reefers on Trailers are realy hard on the Fan Clutches.
The Norm Service Life of one is 12 - 14 months. Depending on how much they are usedThis is due to the High Heat given off from the coils it sits in front of.

The normal price for one is 500.00

In the 4 years I was on another truck that reefer went through 3 Fan Clutches.

Food for thought:
When a PM is done on the reefer make sure they pull the Plastic form Back off it inside the reefer trailer and clean out the Drains and the coils and they also check the probes the Return and the Supply as well.

Thats apart of the PM as well.

Many may not no it but thanks to Wayne Jersa in 2005 Ive known it since then.
Teachings never forgotten.
