I don't think that I ever watched clearer video other than this. This guy must have been a teacher. I am going to start driving solo soon and I needed that information. Thank you . Thank you You are simply the best.
Hey I don't comment too often but I wanted to say I bought a new truck that has the Tripac Evolution in it, and I've been having some trouble trying to figure out how to operate the thing because I'm used to having the battery powered ones. Your video helped me out a lot man and also let me know how to pre-trip the thing so I wanted to say thanks a lot! You really do make a great video with the close up pictures and the written instructions to go along with the video, fantastic! My setup is a little different because I have it on a Freightliner. I also pushed on that bottom "button" thinking it was a button to turn it on. When it didn't do anything I left it alone. Thankfully it doesn't seem to have messed it up lol
Sorry bro some how I never seen this comment. Looks like you posted it 11 months ago. Please accept my apologies and also my big thanks to your message. It has been awhile since I posted a video. Your message definitely makes me want to get back to creating new content. So once again thank you for your comment. -Wildman
U saved this lady. I followed right along with u & presto I’m cool now. Job well done & tk u for that theme song. I have it on my mixerbox music. Was sad to hear the artist passed away last year.
using the tripak apu in a truck that’s has inverter… does this still allow you to be able to use the inverter while truck is off? Have portable frig and cpap just making sire
great video question my apu stay on standy mode does not run fan or a/c with out me mannually turing it on my truck 2020 freightliner key off position on buttons on front at all. how can i set it to automaticly turn on and set fan speed automatily thnks great video better than any other videos i seen
@@AdventureswithWildmanLuno thanks. The control panel needed to be reset. I had to go inside my cabinet and unplug it panel for 5 minutes for it to reset. Works fine after that
Yes, the shutoff valves he pointed out allow you to close the lines so no coolant is lost from the APU if main lines are being serviced and vice/versa.
I don't drive for J&J, but 1st time tripac user. I guess I have an older unit, it has a digital HMU. If I understand, in normal or standby modes, the apu will monitor the batteries?
Can't speak for 100% sure but almost positive that they all do. I always leave my fan running when I'm on home time to circulate the air and Unit starts and stops as batteries get low.
@@AdventureswithWildmanLuno this truck has 7 batteries (for whatever reason) and I'm to far from home yet to trust it much.. lol I just replaced 4 batteries.. this truck is older, but I just got put in it
Hello sir i like ur videos i have a question please my apu turns on and the fan comes on but after 5 min fan shut off and apu keep running what can be the problem
My Thermoking APU won't start! All it does is beeeeeeeeep, beeeeeeeep! I checked fuses, connections, wires, oil, etc. It won't start. I can't find the reset button. It just won't start! Dont know why. Was onnthe truck installed from factory when i bought it. Have all the manuals everything to it. I may just juxk it or scrap it if i can't get it to work, though. It's 2,200 pounds of dead weight on my truck i can do without.
Check to see if the fuse is popped. I do know where it would be located so you might have to do some research. Sounds like a electrical issue to the pannel
Heat still runs on it you have to wait a few minutes for the coils to heat up. Atleat all mine always seemed to take a few minutes. But shit bro if yours don't or have a way to heat..... that would suck bro
Maaan, THIS VIDEO, is way BETTER THAN the manufacture’s video!!!

You're welcome!
Excellent tutorial. Very good video

When you check the valve to make sure it is straight is that inside the box or the back side
Good show brother
using the tripak apu in a truck that’s has inverter… does this still allow you to be able to use the inverter while truck is off? Have portable frig and cpap just making sire
Good vídeo bro,Thankyou!!!
Your welcome bro.
What about your coolant level? Great video
Runs off the truck's coolant. Mine was tied in. Just make sure you truck coolant is at its proper level
great video question my apu stay on standy mode does not run fan or a/c with out me mannually turing it on my truck 2020 freightliner key off position on buttons on front at all. how can i set it to automaticly turn on and set fan speed automatily thnks great video better than any other videos i seen
I've always had to set evey time. I don't believe there is a memory or pre programed mode. Wish there was but it not.
My man"" AWESOME info share"" thanks for the knowledge"" also"" who was the artist doing your intro music??? That was jamming""
Thanks brother.
Does anyone know where to locate that coolant switch he showed at 6:50?
Its behind the passenger wheel
Also at 7:02 in the video in red lettering it should tell you where its located. If not i need to go add it in. Thought it was.
My control panel is lit up but wont come on all of a sudden or cut off. Any suggestions?
Sounds like it might be shut off on the main switch on the APU it's self. I would check there first. If that's not it then I don't really know bro
@@AdventureswithWildmanLuno thanks. The control panel needed to be reset. I had to go inside my cabinet and unplug it panel for 5 minutes for it to reset. Works fine after that
I lost the lid that opens on the box, where can I buy it separately? I looked on ebay and couldn’t find it, can anyone tell me?
In case of a main engine water coolant leak, I cannot use the APU ? It uses the same coolant ?
Yes, the shutoff valves he pointed out allow you to close the lines so no coolant is lost from the APU if main lines are being serviced and vice/versa.
So question do I have to turn the unit off from the outside on a daily basis, when running my truck or will it cut off on it own after truck start ..
That the main power switch outside on the unit. You can leave it on unless working or Pre-Triping it. It will shut off once you start your truck
Would it be possible to fit a TK on a Kenworth T680 without having to remove the fiberglass on the side?
Yeah you can also mount on top of your frame up against the sleeper. Some of our 389's are that way.
I don't drive for J&J, but 1st time tripac user. I guess I have an older unit, it has a digital HMU. If I understand, in normal or standby modes, the apu will monitor the batteries?

Can I turn On the APU while driving? In case the AC is not working
No. Apus will not turn on while truck is on
Boss can you show where the fill line was on dip stick
Sorry bro I can't now. The unit I have now does not have an APU
How much does it cost for installation for an apu ? I bought a pre owned thermo king 2012 model but I get different rate quotes when I shop around .
What if the Green light keeps. Flashing on Ac
Did you figure it out? Mine does the same just flashes.
Is the APU started and running?
Cool video ,,,, does it have 110 volt outlets somewhere or 12 volt cig type outlets for plugging in a phone or laptop for charging?
Thanks
2x 110 outlets
Does one need to refuel the APU?
All APU'S I've ever had were tied into my trucks Fuel line so the fuel came from the tanks. I've personally never seen one that had its own fuel tank.
Hello sir i like ur videos i have a question please my apu turns on and the fan comes on but after 5 min fan shut off and apu keep running what can be the problem
Help me orange triangle I check fuse is ok and I did PM ,ace will run 1 minute or 2 shut off

Does the apu have 110 plug in or do you have to have an inverter
I don't understand why my control it doesn't set to standby I tried different ways
If the Tripak has been running and am about to drive do I have to turn off the Tripak or it will turn off automatically once I turn on the truck?
Mine turns off once I put my key In the on position. Even on my 579 pete it turns off within 5 seconds after your key has been put in the on position.
Hey bro, what’s your trucks wheel base ?
My control panel knobs won't light up at all.
Try holding down the power button for a few seconds
So the Stand by is not lit up
@@AdventureswithWildmanLuno I don't get a standby light
@@AdventureswithWildmanLuno my apu also has an engine hours panel under bunk and it doesn't say anything as well
Check to see if the fuse is popped. I do know where it would be located so you might have to do some research. Sounds like a electrical issue to the pannel
How to get rid of the red triangle
?
Great video!
I also hear you are supposed to run your heater about 20min month during the summer to keep everything clean and cleared out.
Hi Boos How are you iam MONOJ Kumar from Bangladesh AC mechanic
How many hours does one expect to get out of a tripak? What is the cost to transfer of you get a new truck?
👍
Calm your nervous hands
I guess this ThermoKing doesnt do heat because I dont feel a damn thing coming from under the bunk or anywhere. This is find another job BS
Heat still runs on it you have to wait a few minutes for the coils to heat up. Atleat all mine always seemed to take a few minutes. But shit bro if yours don't or have a way to heat..... that would suck bro
