SPQ2014

Somehow I'm the APU guy now... ThermoKing has some interesting service procedures. Refrigerant capacity of 1.2-2 lbs (Nice of them to give a definitive answer). Once you've added enough refrigerant to run the system you work it to it's max and add an ounce at a time while watching the sight glass. When it's clear at 150 psi you're good.

Had some trouble with a Ford Hydro-Max brake system. Pedal pulsed intermittently with the park brake released. I found a Bosch service guide (Bendix valve... Figure that one out) for it after searching through way too many websites.  The park brake valve was leaking internally and relaying it into the foot pedal.


Did some work with CAT's Electronic Technician. No cruise control and I found the brake switch for the computer had a 10v drop across it when closed.
