Thermo King Tripac Evolution Alternator Belt and Water Pump Belt Replacement
I've had my international since 2016, and its electric HVAC cooling side works great. The heater side is garbage due to the device under the sleeper having stopped working when it was under warranty, and international refused to replace the heater unit. Instead, they wasted my time twice trying to replace parts in the heater unit and ran out the warranty with the heater unresolved. My AC works great even on triple digit days, although you must keep the curtain closed. And you do benefit more of you turn the AC unit on right after you shut the truck off with the inside precooled by the truck's HVAC.
Why did you not cover your windows? Pretty obvious solution. There's a reason people tint their windows and use windshield sun blockers.
Mine wants a password
@raywebb7816 try "0000" You can also ask TK.
I want help with the way it works like this and how to connect the computer to the thermoking units.
I thought they didn’t help trucking companies because it’s a high risk industry ?
Don’t worry friend its a normal code just drive few miles and it will clear automatically the code takes 30 to 40 minutes but the light takes few hours of drive.
Did yiur code come back.?
Looks like about 350 to $400 worth of tools and expendable supplies. But....thats about how much labor an honest shop would charge to do this( thats if you can find an honest shop). And now you own the tools to continue doing other things with. Good job. Thank you sir for the good knowledge and illustration.
This is excellent and, that you for sharing. It was nice to hear from a real "small business" owner. Have had an American Express business "credit" card for about 25-years. However, this past Spring, I needed to add an American Express "charge" only card to my wallet . I needed to replace my "credit" card because, its interest rate would soon be increasing from 14.9 percent APR to 21.9 percent APR . After reviewing their web site, I applied (over the telephone) for the business "Plum" card which, has been working out great for the past several months (smile ... smile).
I just want to say thanks for this video. My husband tried to hook the laptop up and pull all the stats of his Thermo pack, as it kept turning off, Nothing would load and it kept giving a firewall block. So I found your video and was able to do the free download from the diesel laptop link. I went out hooked it up and got everything loaded for him and it ended up being a 30$ fix… low coolant I guess, instead of who knows how much if we would have been if we would have taken it into shop!! Thank you so much for the accurate, easy to follow and super informative video, saved us most likely hundreds of dollars! It was very fulfilling for me when my hubby was like, “no, no, it should just load…… and I’m like no, no I just watched a video and I need you to trust me lol…. Well he did and bam, DONE! You made me look good sir, well done! 🫡😂✅✅✅
Does that laptop allow you to do everything that a shop can do like ajust rpm,cruise control etc...
Go to acm and wait it shows you active code
WHERE CAN I GET THE EVOLUTION Service Tool R2 software
www.diesellaptops.com/blogs/news/thermo-king-tripac-evolution-diagnostic-tool
My dont have the USB cable, where I can buy one ? I saw on the box THE plug isnot a standar or regular USB
Dude I had the same diesel trip across apu on my truck since 2012 zero major issues still using it 30;000 hrs plus the whole point is not to idle sounds like you had a bad unit..as for me electric is a no no I feel that some things just shouldn’t be electric
Great job and video ❤❤❤
Is your def put 2.5 galón of pure pdf and the rest regular and it would clear
I only use pure def, and I still get that code
U need to put adf pure or mix the pure with the regular from the pump drive it for a hour and it would delete itself is your adf from the pump your truck only run on pure adf just mix them pure and regular
Where do you get the adf
If u click on ACM u will see the code there too
Great video! Thank you! Helped me big time! Thanks Sir!
Great video my man 👍 Thank you
I have windows 10 I keep getting chkdsk. I get passed that and I still can get it to work.
What fixed the problem did you need a force regen and that fixed the problem ?
I clear the code with my laptop
@@bubbleheadtruckerthanks for responding I did a forced regen and cleared the code I cleared the code when I seen your video it came back on When you cleared the code did it come back on ?
I’m talking in circles lol how to fix this will a regen and clear code help
Code could be "Active" and a legitimate problem could exists. That might explain why it returns immediately 🤔 I recommend a Detroit Diesel certified mechanic take a look at it. More than likely the repair could still be under warranty.
When I cleared the code with my laptop, it did not reappear. Periodically, the code has appeared weeks and sometimes months later. Each time the code is "inactive" and I can easily clear with my laptop.
you know sir how i do this normal laptop i see vedio i youtube he do this normal laptop but i don't how i download app

Hi sir how are you? You know how can connect the AP unit with the bank heater
There's a special wire harness. I went back to TK and had them do it for about $500. Works great and no idling the truck. I recommend it.
Thank you
Great video my friend. Is that pump aplicable for all the thermoking apu models? Any idea?, thanks.
I recommend calling TK to double check.
If you would have clicked on ACM you would have seen the code.
That’s true.
And how to clear code ?
Hello sir I got same code i need to worry about it?
None of these tutorials show how to change the cabin filter the big blue filter
Nothing to it really. Pull out the old and replace.
@@bubbleheadtrucker I appreciate your video it's a really good video the last person to work on the Apu on my truck shoved that cabin filter between the frame and the actual body of the APU. I guess they thought they were supposed to cover that vent to keep sticks and dirt from being sucked in to the engine area. All I'm saying is I wish somebody would actually show where that blue filter is supposed to be inserted

Same code popped up on my truck. Do you need to take it to freightliner for the update?
Yes or any Detroit Diesel certified shop.
Hello sir I have same issue did your light ever come back on if so what was the fix?
Yes, software update fixed the problem after second reoccurence.
Reoccurence on 10/13/2023. Wet roads, raining, 60°F in Illinois. 2nd time in Illinois.
@sub-sailor mine just came on and it's raining. How long can I drive before it's shuts my motor down?
@flatbedjay7672 You're good to keep going indefinitely. It's more of a nuisance than anything else. Might clear on its own after awhile.
Great video. Question: I keep getting a fault code 18 Shutdown High Engine Coolant Temperature and fault code 93 Failed Water Temperature Sensor WT1. Would you first recommend changing the sensor? If that doesn’t solve the issue is the thermostat replacement next? And after that the water pump?
Yes, but I wouldn't waste time and trouble doing one at a time trying to pinpoint troubleshoot. Could be multiple items due to normal wear & tear. Better to replace sensor, thermostat, and waterpump all at once while you're in there.
How much a diesel laptop costs ?

Has anyone's truck derated with this code
I've got the exact problem now. Good thing i watched this cause i was about to replace the fuel filter and be up shits creek. 😂
Thank you for info, I have same situation. It happens when I was driving from Phoenix Az to east, last week, exactly in Az and NM area on i40east
They dont report to your business credit line... All that pressure is on (PG) shoulder; especially now that trucking is shitty!
Nice video!
How do i bleed the coolant?
There's a small brass valve facing you with a clear plastic drain tube.

@@bubbleheadtruckerso the Thermo King diagnostic tool download from diesel laptops is legit? I have the file but was a little worried that it’s some bogus download. I’ve looked EVERYWHERE and can not find a download for the software anyplace other than them. By chance do you have or know of a link to download the TK diagnostic manual TK-55739. Thanks in advance
@ARDUBLI yes download is legit. No link to diagnostic manual.

I have a 2019, with 720k miles, this code pops up on occasion, but it seems to be fuel quality. I add the EDT hotshot secret fuel addititive, or Pittsburgh power additive and it goes away within a few hundred miles. Mine just came on for the first time in months in Benson AZ, and i just added 80 gallons of fuel, and i was stingy with the fuel additive. (The EDT at walmart or tractor supply treats 80 gallons, but the same size bottle at love's or pilot freats 800 gallons, same price. )
Same with mine. It seems to always pop up 60-90 miles after I add fuel additives or winterizer. Super annoying.

Thank you for this video!! My alternator belt just snapped on my APU and this video helped a lot…Funny thing, I just did maintenance on it at home before hitting the road. As soon as I started the APU while I waited to get loaded for my first load heading out…BOOM! The belt broke. Gives me something to do when I go back lol
How do you keep the pulley from spinning when trying to loosen the nuts on the water pump?
Pry bar or screw driver positioned between bolts
@@bubbleheadtrucker that's what my brother said to, screw driver. I tried using two 10mm ratchet wrenches and couldn't get the nuts broke loose. Guess I need to soak em in wd40 or something first. Belt looks like dog shit, but it's not tight enough to just snap. Surprised it even turns the pulley with engine running.
How do i know water pump problem? Andrew
Usually a small puddle of coolant will appear overnight, especially if not running. Also, the "Red Triangle 🔺️ Alarm" may be due to an overheating issue from a bad thermostat and/or water pump.
I've had 3 different diesel Thermo King APUs on different trucks. I ran where it was 120 degrees and everywhere. I had very little trouble with any of them. I did without my APU maybe 3 times over 15-plus years because it broke down. I changed the oil when it was supposed to be changed, at Thermo King dealers and they checked everything over. I think I replaced a fuel pump on one, and a belt bracket broke one time were the major problems. Probably was only without it 4-5 nights total that I had to run my truck. Mainly because I wanted a certain dealer to work on it in Ocala.
Thanks for the video. I just did some exploratory surgery to find a fuel leak on my Evolution. Turns out my plastic fuel pump has a small crack along a seam on the pump body, so I understand why they've upgraded to a metal body. Really appreciate the info on part numbers and cost!
Excelente video 👍💯. Me sirvió mucho. Gracias
You don't know if that really is a cop.
He's only going about 90-95 but still moving. It is what it is.
