    I painted the tops of my shipping containers with aluminum reflective roof paint.
    I do not remember the brand from home depo. shiny silver paint (you want a silver roof, LoL)

    it definitely made a difference. was totally noticeable to go into one container that was painted and then the other container i had not painted yet.

    I would PERSONALLY be careful about buying used "OEM" parts on Fleabay as I know some people who got burned by the fact that the seller was listing the parts as "OEM" just because they pulled them from the car/truck, but in reality, they were aftermarket parts that were previously replaced by whoever owned the car/truck before.

    Good to know, thanks. I always thought it ran the compressor harder because when run at max cool on my wife's Prius, you can clearly hear the compressor wind up higher - but of course, the Prius uses as electric compressor (versus belt driven). I knew the the belt constantly turned the compressor and it was just a matter of whether the clutch was engaged or not (on a regular ICE engine).
