Common Bunk Heater Issues and Fixes

[@robp4616]

This is how helpful videos are supposed to be. Clearly spoken. Clear cut. To the point. Detail oriented. Etc. Very high props to these guys for doing it the RIGHT way. It's very much appreciated.

[@dalebowman3666]

Finally somebody who knows what they’re talking about.

It's 2am in Montana and I'm trying to determine exactly why I'm going to freeze to death tonight. Really frustrating that it worked great this morning but gives up after 0.1 seconds now on an 18-degree night.

[@miguelcruz2317]

Mine was blowing white smoke...and didn't throw any hot air...I cleaned it and replaced the metal mesh I ordered it from Amazon and it works again thanks for the video

[@earlharris571]

Thanks for a very helpful video. Just bought a Mack Anthem with a bunk heater and am having problems that you described. I will look at the filters and intakes to see if they are clogged or dirty and maybe solve the problem.

[@bettymartinez2415]

You answered my question i had in mind ,blue smoke coming out from the exhaust pipe know i understand how the system works thank you .

[@Nagra_13]

Very good information 👍👍👍

[@Donato2018]

Wow, excellent, the problem I have is. It only blow cold air and does not smoke coming out. I don't know how to solve that part.

[@paulshamblin6260]

Great video very helpful. So basically by the fuel line being so small it's actually a factory defect. The fuel is going to gel when it's actually cold enough to need the bunk heater. All of this stuff just made half ass. Add that to a company truck that won't idle and it sucks. Then you buy something for the truck for which they will reimburse you but they make it difficult for you to get the money back. Either way I guess I will try the anti-gel first.

[@welcompanies]

Something to consider...All WEL tractors come with APU's, inverters, and bunk heaters. All of which are serviced regularly (or as needed) by mugs like Logan here. Let us know if you'd like any more info or if you have any ideas for future videos! Stay safe out there!

[@akilghosh]

Or you could find a different company which will give you whatever you want

[@jr3254]

Well actually if it's that cold you should idle and the heat from the engine will prevent it ,and to honest with you I've never had one gel on me ,not saying it won't

Thank you for your help My heart is now working

[@brankoperisic9212]

My wabasto hade a 1 blink code( no ignition) I pulled the air intake pipe and exhaust pipe from bottom of unit still mounted in truck. I sprayed 1/2 can of carb cleaner in strong bursts into both holes until clean fluid drained. Waited an hour for it to evaporate and it worked. Blew white smoke for about 30 minutes but it cleared up and all is well.

[@emlkl1779]

How long did it work without trouble after that?

[@cookiecracker6266]

Great video. My webasto heater runs, but after a minute stops producing hot air and give me a code 3. Any suggestions what it can be?

[@mangatsinghdeol2941]

Great video....learned few things from it...thank you. I've Espar D2 bunk heater in my semi truck..Few days ago it was working fine than it would start up fine but after few hours it would not run...after few more days it would start up fine but shuts off after 4-5 minutes. Now it would not even start...What is causing this...help please....

Hello, the video you shared is very explanatory, I have some questions, how is a metering diesel fuel pump cataloged, by pulses per second, pulses per minute, I saw a diesel fuel metering pump and it says 22ml? Thank you

[@markiki77]

Thanks for all 😊

[@riddjo]

My espar shuts off when I start the truck or put the ignition key to on position , how do I disable this function do I don't have to freeze for 30-40 min while the truck gets warm enough to produce heat ??? What wire needs to be cut ? 🤔

[@cheesepaper3031]

That little hole he showed. If its smoking out the tube and just wont get a flame started anymore after 5 start attempts. It's now completely clogged with carbon and wet fuel. A quick way to get it started so you don't freeze and hopefully the heater isn't tucked in a stupid spot (kenworth/volvo). Is completely power off the espar, pop the intake hose off, pop the cover, carefully slide the boot up the glow plug wires (the glow plug is expensive dont break the wires), take a large paper clip and put a small 90 degree bend at one end, use it and a flashlight to feel down the side of the plug chamber for that tiny hole and clean it out (side closest to the plastic body), slide the boot back over, pop cover on and it should light. Hopefully. If it does get somewhere for a new screens. Its only a temp fix. I believe after 2018 the hole is on top of the screen and the paperclip should poke right through. Pre 2018 its covered by the screen and will take some persistence digging the junk out. If it's not smoking out the exhaust when trying to start, then dont do this. Something else is wrong. Also dont keep trying and trying to get it to start. The control module will lock the unit and will need a diagnostic tool to unlock. I believe its 15 times after the last flame.

Hey brother I have a espar d2 heater bunk won't start , I connect the red and yellow cables from ecm if does nor start means that ecm is bad?

[@noahbell7767]

What if you push the on button and nothing happens? I got a brand new only used 20 hours so far and on day three it won’t work. Got an 03 code error and I replaced the glow plug and it’s still not working

[@orpheus1662]

Hey guys. I juts bought this cascadia and the espar heater acting super weird. I can only turn it on if I’ve one of the bunk lights on. No lights no heater the damn thing won’t even turn on. What do you think is going I can’t sleep with lights on.

[@kellywhite1663]

Any idea why mine won't control the temperature? It just keeps running and heating it will roast me, I have to keep the windows and vents open to keep from getting too hot.

[@Daniel-z2j2v]

Mine is doing the same can’t figure it out

[@kellywhite1663]

@@Daniel-z2j2v I found out, you have to select auto instead of heat, then it only heats as needed.

Where ur shop at

[@michaelfrymus]

Installing one in my SUV. Can this be mounted outside, underneath the vehicle, or is it best to have it inside?

[@jr3254]

Inside ,you don't want snow. water or salt spray all over it ,they are designed to be mounted inside the vehicle also being outside if it's to cold it might have a hard time to fire

Hi Joel, Does it sound like a Stihl or more like a Husqvarna?

@@welcompanies it could be either one. I’d like it to sound like a mouse though. I guess I should bring it to the shop? I’m new to trucking in case you can’t tell, haha.
