You have to get it from the dealer. I went everywhere in my town to see if anyone carry the wire. Nobody carry the right gauge wire. So I had to buy from the dealer. If you get lower gauge wire it will overheat your truck will shutoff randomly. If you going to replace it get the same gauge or higher gauge hope it helps.

@@citizenofearth1000 thank you

@@bigpapi5031 no problem glad it helped

@@citizenofearth1000 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

@@captainfosterii2776 no problem the controller is expensive

@@JeannetteRyland apu will run as long the alternator is charging. That’s the serpentine belt, running the alternator and the ac compressor. As long as that belt is on the apu will run and once temp sensor sends the signal engine is hot then it will shut it down.

It will run. The water pump belt only engages the water pump. So as your APU runs, your water pump is not. If this is happening you'll get shutdown codes.

@@morrisdennis very true because local mechanics don’t now how to fix them and parts availability issues.

Western star good truck with dd15 engine.

Vanguard trailer are good only issue is parts availability issue.

@citizenofearth1000 I have 30 vanguards now Parts are not an issue I get mine same day or next morning. Utilitys I have 9 and they suck on every level they are light doors are flimsy honeslty just junk and they are 2024s.

@@Largecar2165 I had to get a body repair for the vanguard everything was back ordered. My experience was totally different than yours. Good to know your situation is different than mine.

Glad it helped

No problem. if you have any particular carrier reefer topic that you would like a video about. let me know

I try making another video. Thank you for the feedback

Glad to help

I don’t know if the width of the tire changes. Because you can get wide tire or narrow tire. About 200 pounds in weight reduction and lower rolling resistance for high mpg.

Weight about per axle

I did have landing gear issues with Great Dane. Utility holds up better. Only issue I had with utility is the floor don’t hold as much. Overall body of utility trailer age very good. Crossmember hold good but the aluminum duct floor has wood which weakens over time. I bought trailer used so I don’t spec them. But I would definitely get higher rated floor. Thanks for sharing your experience. 👍

Around 600000 change the o rings and suction tube. O ring dry out and cause this problem

If it’s thermoking apu you will have fuses at same location. Hope it helps

I had that problem. The fuse is behind the alternator. Check it and see if it is in bad condition.

I have seen refers pushing 40k-50. Just keep in mind when you do -10 or -20 loads. If you got carrier you can probably get away with it but if you sb210 or 230 it’s going to struggle specially 110 f temp outside. When it’s really hot outside avoid doing - temps and do your maintenance regularly. You can probably squeeze another yr or 2 out of the unit.

What kind of loads you haul. Do you get oil changes done some local shop. I had good experience with carrier. Mainly because it used kubota engine with no filter or egr stuff on it. Thermoking sb units are very good and reliable units

Good to know 👍

Never used the green apu. I have experience with tripac and carrier pro. Tripac you can get aftermarket products and replace parts on the cheap. These thing’s only worth it you can fix it yourself otherwise you end up paying a lot for repairs and don’t save much money sometimes even lose money. Hope it helps. I would stay with tripac if I had to choose.

I have replaced many fuses on the apu units in the fleet. Change the fuse with good brand fuse. Hope it helps

It all depends on if the grade is same like 15w40 or 10w30 as long as the grade is the same it’s fine.

Did you try running with fuel cap off or your fuel filter could be clogged try changing it. If the unit runs with fuel keep off than your fuel tank air check valve valve is clogged. Sometimes keeping the fuel cap loose to allow air to enter helps

Thank you for the feedback

I will add next time 👍

I heard new ones have better performance. Driver who driven the c15 and Cummins. Like the Cummins better. They don’t like how paccer climbs the hills. If the truck taking to long to climb hills in long route ca to ny in a round trip there is almost 24hrs difference between paccer and Cummins 500hp. Less stress on the driver and less time on the road

Take pictures of the air valve and show to any trailer company that sales airbag, brakes, and drums. They should be able to help you. If you valve getting stuck try pb blast spray. You probably have moisture in your air tanks

Thank for the info

Good to know 👍

Thank you 👍

Any trailer store should have it that carry trailer brakes, shocks, lights . If you are not in hurry you can get it from Amazon or eBay too. 👍

Thank you 🙏

Policy makers don’t now anything about the day to day challenges that the trucking industry face. They make polices, when bunch of lobbyists gets together and force law in to action without getting any expert opinion. The trucking industry has to pay the price of policy makers mistakes. Thank you for sharing your opinion John. You have a blessed day.

Thanks for sharing

The frame rail are different and also body panel are different also. It’s hard to get parts for vanguard.

Vanguard are good quality trailers but if you need to get body work that’s where the problems start.

@@citizenofearth1000 actually I have 3 of them. 2 already got some body problems (deep scratches over 6 and 13ft.) and both were repaired on the road in regular trailer shop. Try to find another mechanic.

No problem

It works well. I have not had any problems with fuse after the fix.

​@@citizenofearth1000that's good. The wire from the original holder goes right into that breaker? With room for the rubber grommets to secure it as well? And did you secure it somehow in the apu frame or is it suspended by the wires themselves?

No problem 👍

👍

👍

Blown fuse somewhere. There is fuses where they put the blower motor. If not there is fuse in apu unit itself 40 amp also there is service on off switch in the apu make sur it’s in the on position

It try the strap wrench the filter was frozen stuck.

But thank for the suggestion 👍
