my father had one installed when he purchaced his used freightshaker from sharp's (in indiana, they didnt install it, they had an outside joint do it).
installer/dealer, improperly tightened the belts, the generator wasent even straight and had one leg of the generators 3 phase field wired into the buss (took a while to figure that one out!), and they left the exhaust venting under the sleeper...not to mention not tightening the flexpipe :roll:
aside from the ****ty work at the installer it's worked great, found a much better dealer/service joint up in Wisconsin just before the warranty went out. we shoulda spent more for the better controller (with timer/autostart)
since its warranty expired i've been modifying it just a little, it's even better now, 3000+hrs and counting.
now it has:
a highly modified ford escort air intake and filter housing (much quieter and cheaper/easier to find filters)
better exhaust routing (kinda hokey lookin fer now lol)
link belts
car audio sound deadening material (ya'll should try it, works great!)
magnetic sheet for covering the radiator opening (for the colder weather)
currently i'm working on a couple more serious "mods"
a seperate GM 140amp alternator for truck loads only (in addition to the barely functional OE 60amp nipondenso unit)
APU dedicated battery (for starting - charged by the 60amp)
muffler from a 98 buick regal (cheeep, aka free, and quieter lol)
large external fuel filter (screw the damn tiny arse OE unit)
it's far from perfect, and it wasnt installed properly, but it works well enough and thankfully the old man has a son that cant leave anything with an engine alone
