Thanks ☺️

[@berniesands6201]

You make stuff so simple the way you explain it. Glad I watched this honestly I would've paid someone to do this until now that I've seen how simple and easy it is. I really do appreciate your videos.

[@DIYSEMI]

Glad you liked it!

Just bought a 2007 Peterbilt with a Thermo King APU. Not sure of the model yet. My friend said to service it before I ran it. I had no idea how to do it until I saw your awesome video. Thank you!

[@alvinchristv]

Great Video. With the price of Deisel in 2022 I can’t afford to keep idling my truck. And I recently did a overhaul on my motor in Nov of 2021. So an APU is a no brained at this point. Thanks Again For The Video.

[@damjcr]

Thank you for your video as a owner op it helps to do little things like this on your own! Much appreciated.

[@philliphurd6545]

Thank you for the video I just bought my truck and had no idea how to start to service this used thermo king now I can do it my self.

[@DIYSEMI]

Excellent

Probably the best step by step video I have seen. Thanks!

Thanks

This is a tremendous video... love it

[@jackblack6912]

Thank You Brother , I just bought My Volvo with APU, YOUR DEMONSTRATION IS SO HELPFUL

[@DIYSEMI]

You are most welcome

There is also a video on yhe bunk heater service if you need it.

[@skinnyb9039]

Great video

[@matthewmoore54]

Very informative! I'll save money doing it myself....thanks

[@cliffgiordane2969]

I did mine yesterday I been putting it off but I know I got some bad fuel in Michigan last month and wanted to at least change the fuel filter I'm glad I came across your video. I was able to order several kits from thermo by products

[@luisvcnz]

Appreciate the video, straight to the point, no nonsense stuff! Thank you so much

[@LostNavigator]

Video saved me a bunch of money. Wish there was a cut off valve at the filter to keep the line from draining. Had to Crack each line to get the air out of the lines. It would have been easier with the proper tube wrench. But gotter done. Thanks.

[@28tonrod]

Great explanation on to do a pm yourself. You did forget to show how to clean the strainer located on bottom right of engine. Other wise, great video. Thanks!

[@donaldb169]

Very detailed. Thank you

[@Thasgonna]

good video. only thing I would add is if you pull the dipstick while replacing the oil filter it makes it easier.

[@Acts238Church]

With amzoil you should be able to go a year without service, with exception of air filter, go on amzoil a d see if they offer oil filter for your unit... Buddy of mine runs amzoil in his isx with amzoil filters and he gets about 40k miles

Good video. Thank you.

[@1329baseball]

There is a fuel screen right on the front behind the front middle panel. It’s like a tiny up side Davco that you spin off and clean with carburetor cleaner and put back in.

[@Icantevenstandit]

Thanks buddy...

[@jbird659]

Great video but some models have a small fuel screen located around the on/off switch just follow the fuel line in that direction. And thanks for the video

[@jameshopkins9619]

Hey is there some type of shut off valve for the fuel? When I took the fuel filter off there was a constant drip off fuel coming out until I was able to get the new filter on. It was pretty steady so not sure if that's normal or if there is some type of shut off for the fuel. Thanks

[@DIYSEMI]

I've only had one truck so far that has a shut off. It's normal for fuel to drip...as long as it's not major enough to lose your prime

[@DIYSEMI]

ohhh wait...thought you were talking about the truck. no the tripac does not have a shut off. atleast none of the ones ive had has a shut off

[@musaali1770]

Thank you

[@merives2263]

Howdy I replaced my radiator fan, which ive done a few times already. This time it wont turn on. At what temperature does it turn on? I checked all fuses. Any helpful tips or ideas?

[@DIYSEMI]

Did you test and see if the clutch is functioning at all?

[@merives2263]

@@DIYSEMI I don't think it has a clutch. It's a 12 Volt radiator fan for the tripak

[@bernabebanks7854]

What are the size if filters for service on tripac evolution

[@am.b5688]

Thanks for the great video, but we should avoid to pour diesel directly to the middle hole of the fuel filter because it needs to go through the filter for filtering, so i think we need to fill the smaller holes on the side of the filter. Am i wrong?

[@DIYSEMI]

That's how I do it. I may have over filled it trying to hold a camera and filter and fuel all at once. All filters should be filled thru the small holes even oil

[@am.b5688]

@@DIYSEMI thanks

[@superfly4137]

hey brother, is that TriPac Evolution worth spend the money?

[@DIYSEMI]

it's a matter of opinion. I absolutely love mine. It was hard to spend the money, but I don't regret it one bit.

[@headedwest89]

It’s worth every penny. Just the ability to not have to idle the truck 24/7 makes it worth it over time

[@michaelbritton2331]

hello brother I have a tripac on my semi.i am getting red triangle and engine light.i try to start it and I am not hearing any attempt to start up.what can be wrong

[@patrickziemke1412]

👍

[@TruckingWithSteffon]

You read the codes just plug the USB cable into window's 10 computer and run the web based diagnostic program.

[@spreesupreme1686]

What size filter wrench do you use for both filters

[@DIYSEMI]

Not sure of the measurements. An automotive size band wrench will fit. Or a strap wrench will fit many size filters. You can probably get these off by hand with no wrench

[@rickblaga9287]

Please help, SB 330 - SR3 - holds 32 degrees PERFECT, but when I set to 33* it always holds it around 35 to 37 degrees

[@DIYSEMI]

What are you reading for supply and discharge temps when that is happening?

[@rickblaga9287]

How do I get that information? Also even when empty, it will pull down to 33 and then not hold 33, just slowly rises 3-5 degrees higher on continuous, 32 holds 32 perfect But 33, 34 on cont, rises up??

[@rickblaga9287]

@@DIYSEMI after further investigation it seems eve at 32* it is rising, so no matter which temp I choose continuous, it rises 3 to 4 degrees and stays there

[@liizy270]

Do these need Fuel to run?

[@DIYSEMI]

Yes

[@liizy270]

Where do you put the fuel

[@liizy270]

Mine has two yellow caps that say oil

[@DIYSEMI]

they draw fuel from your trucks fuel tanks

[@yolahernandez6105]

How many oil does It takes

[@DIYSEMI]

About 1.75 gallon if i remember right....it says in the video

[@3HonestGoat3]

i put my oil from on top , if i did and have not ran the apu more then 4 hours since that oil change. Can i just drain the whole thing and refill it from the bottom and avoid issues??

[@DIYSEMI]

If you already ran it don't worry about it.

[@3HonestGoat3]

@@DIYSEMI will it mess it up??

[@rodsterling3013]

What type of oil are you using?

[@DIYSEMI]

amsoil, 10w 30 synthetic diesel oil

[@supertrucker1356]

I watched a vid of a guy putting 15w40 in it then i watched me put it in mine. Im good right?

[@DIYSEMI]

Yes, my manual says 15 40 is ok. I just prefer 10 30 synthetic . Starts easier in the extreme cold

I'd like to give you feedback with the question. Why do you go on and on and on about unnecessary stuff versus just showing how to do it? My ADHD can't hang with your video.

[@DIYSEMI]

It's free. If u want it your way you can pay me to make custom videos just for you. Take the time to learn how something works rather than get shown how to go thru the motions
