I'd love an Opti-Idle AC for my cabin here lol It looks like that works perfect.

[@TerraFirmaX]

It does and I forgot to mention it cycles on and off as needed. So fuel efficient

My only complaint is the shaking upon the engine starting and dying. Wakes me every time. Especially when dying. Shake me out of the bunk sometimes. Cools better than most my old APU, but more disruptive to my sleep. 2-3 times an hour....

Does the truck start 2-3 times an hour? I am considering buying a new truck with this type of APU I also own a thermo king APU and I’m thinking of using my old thermo king APU instead of buying an electric APU.

I saw a few drivers saying if you set the engine brake on high, it doesn't shake as much. I've tried it and it seems to minimize it. However, after a few times, the green engine brake indicator starts flashing. I turned off the brake and it went back to normal.

In my 2020 you’d leave interior comfort OFF and the ac worked off the batts and would crank after 6-8 hours to recharge.
In this ‘24 .. it’s the exact same system.. but set on OFF, the ac works for 10 minutes then quits cooling.
Garage says put interior comfort ON.. but the engine runs the entire time. Cranks immediately and doesn’t turn off.
What’s the purpose?
The old system worked fantastically.
If it’s gonna run all night.. just let it idle.. and ruin the DEF system so it lets you down in a couple hundred K miles.

Hey bud, I work a dorm fridge and am I’m wondering how many hours can the opt idle work before the engine starts.
