    Freightliner Progressive Low Voltage Disconnect

    Anybody know what voltage triggers the newer Freightliners to start shutting power off in the truck? My APU comes on sooner than I want it to, and before I get anything changed I want to make sure I'm not setting it so low that things start turning off in the truck before it starts up.
