I’m sure it would work fine. You still have to find a place to mount it. Let’s say you mount it under the cab, you would have to plumb it to the front to your condenser unit and then into the cab for your evaporator. Seems like a plumbing headache. Commercial trucks have been using “no idle” units for quite a few years. The no-idle units have their own on board battery. So, I’m assuming there’s quite a bit of current draw. So, you may have to mount an extra battery... Seems like a hornets nest of work for keeping it clean under the hood.
