The pre-filters are treated with a hydropho- bic water-repellant process that helps keep out rain, ice and snow and are designed to protect a truck's engine and performance air filter without sacrificing airflow or horse - power. They are configured to fit directly over the factory air intake grilles and to be installed easily by removing and replacing two screws and using the provided washers. Freedom Air Filters, www.freedomairfilters.com, 877-454-6565 Lubricant lineup TRP's lineup of lubricants for all makes of trucks and buses includes TRP Engine Oil, TRP Synthetic Transmission Oil and TRP Synthetic Gear Oil. Formulated to guard against wear and corrosion in demanding applications, the prod - ucts are designed to help protect axle components, transmissions and engines for longer life and smoother operation across a wide range of conditions. TRP Parts, www.trptruckandtrailerparts.com Trailer dome lamp Phillips' Permalite XB LED high-efficiency trailer dome lamp has 20 LEDs and 2,200 lumens for added brightness and runs on a 12- or 24-volt system. The lamp has a slim, lightweight design and universal mounting holes to fit most applications and is designed to work in extreme temperatures from -40 to 176 degrees Fahrenheit. It features an aluminum housing with a powder-coat - ed finish and clear polycarbonate lens, while a silicone seal helps protect the components from moisture buildup. The 14-gauge wires are protected by an additional layer of the company's proprietary Sta-Dry jacketing to guard against corrosion, and male 0.180-bullet connectors on the wires help simplify installation. A passive infrared motion sensor turns on the dome lamp when activity is detected, and the lamp will shut off automatically after five minutes of inactivity. Phillips Industries, www.phillipsind.com, 800-423-4512 Temperature monitor Carrier Transicold's DataLink 2 recorder is an independent temperature monitoring and reporting device for single- and multi-temperature applica - tions. The recorder uses up to three independent temperature sensors to provide added verification beyond the refrigeration system's built-in recording ability. An integral thermal printer allows drivers to produce numerical and graphical trip reports quickly and easily for receiv - ers, and data also can be downloaded into a personal computer for electronic logging. Designed for plug-and-play simplicity, the recorder auto-detects the Carrier Transicold controller for setup. Two recorder styles are offered: body-mount models that attach to either a truck or trailer cargo area, and an in-dash version for convenient driver access.
