My boxxer 427 is only producing around 180 max heat and that's only after plugging vacuum. The heat exchanger is relatively new. Any ideas on where to start?
Truck mount not producing enough heat

Check your hydraulic arm. See if it's turning all the way to one side when it's in hot water mode. My friend's old Titan was having a problem after 1500 hours. I think it's the flapper inside the Heat Exchanger. It probably has the same heat exchanger as your 427

OK. I'll try and locate it.
Can you take a pic and post it on here of the exhaust heat exchanger at a few angles?

page 1-38 shows the air cylinder that I'm describing. It looks different than the titan's but it has the same purpose. Just make sure it's moving the whole distance to divert the exhaust into heat mode

Part #14 on page 1-36 and 1-37 is the part I'm describing that might be messed up connected to the air cylinder, not diverting the exhaust all the way.

I can't get pictures to load on my phone. I'll try from my computer today.
Does it look like it's moving the whole distance when you turn the heat mode on and off?

Sorry for my slow response my boy had wrestling tournaments all weekend. I unhooked the linkage and ran the valve all the way over by hand just to make sure it was moving the correct distance but I still can't get over 180.
Did you check to see if there's water constantly dripping in your waste tank when the machine is off?

There is a very slow drip.

Anyway to bypass it for the time being?
Plug the hose going to the tank

Are you referring to chemical and hi-temp solenoid?
I think it's part number 25 on page 1-69 of the manual

OK I think I'm on track with you, part 25 shows as a nipple for the high temperature solenoid.
I was talking about the high temperature solenoid itself being the problem if it's constantly dripping. and to plug the hose that's going into the nipple. If that fixes your heat problem, then you know to replace that solenoid
