There is only one or two TM's that I am totally opposed to owning, and Amtex is not one of them. I just know NO ONE who owns one (except a couple names on boards who I don't know) and I have no idea who would sell me one around here? And how would I get it serviced locally?

I might as well order one of those electric machines that used to come in the Cleanfax ads with the dude in shorts in the 80's and 90's.

Or was that Amtex?

Joe, Your always emphasizing on how a unit should be made, stainless, correct parts and so on, I couldn't help it but going back on some of your previous postings and found out that you bought an ** truckmount, pretty well made, stainless steel frames and fittings congratulations. except what I was really concerned about them was that I also read online about a guy complaining burnt wood charcoal was clogging his heater caused by ** TRUCK MOUNTS using WOOD, in their heaters for support. I guess that was another approved material by you that can be used in building Truck Mounts also right?

If I find wood in my hx. Believe I will let it be known. I have no aligence to any company's faults. I do know that I am pleased with my 25/45. As well as nicks support.

It's not a piss match. Our concerns only get better equip made for us.

I know your happy with your dragon. I'm glad for you.

Well, this was a fun thread to read. So @Weebco must be 70 now because he was 63 in 2013. I wonder if he's still cleaning.

If any of you are still friends with him on fb might want to let him know his website link goes to chinese porn site (I assume he is out of the cleaning biz)

@Matt Wood tell us about what went wrong with your unit
Rust inside the plumbing built up so bad that the Dema kept getting clogged, causing major overheating. Then the water pump was mounted right in the hot zone, causing premature wear 3 times in the first 600hrs. Good ol Ben never learned that lesson. In fact, the new location is in an even hotter spot...right between the heat exchangers now. And don’t forget the lovely high tech Hypro brand. The dude is too cheap to put a general pump with high temp seals on it.

Next, it kept getting louder and louder with the 2 car mufflers that rotted out from the moisture coming from the waste tank. And he was so kind to put it in a spot where I would have to remove the truckmount from the trailer to get access to it.

And since we’re talking exhaust...the galvanized engine headers were wrapped in exhaust tape to get it so hot that it would burn in half. And when I ordered new headers, the home made metal flex pipe didn’t fit, so I had to drill more holes in the frame to get the heat exchanger to fit crooked.

And the thermal temp gauge was not the correct type of part to be mounted in the location he put it. It flattened out like a penny on a train track and failed.

All this in only 600hrs
