APU models
Using a Tier 4A engine, the T4 auxiliary power unit is California Air Resources Board-compliant on pre-2007 trucks and can be equipped with a diesel particulate filter for California compliance on newer trucks. The T2 APU, fitted with a Tier 2 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency-compliant engine, suits customers who don’t travel to California. All 2008 models now come with a serpentine belt drive to replace the generator and compressor belts; this means longer life, less maintenance and easier service. The new design also improves heating and cooling in the cab and comes factory-installed with a quieter muffler. Multiple exhaust options allow greater installation flexibility.
