I’m taking it to the forklift later this week to move it. Rubber mats underneath are getting pulled up.

The waste tank was behind it but I think I’m gonna move it to the left side of the machine for better mounting space and ease of access to the rear and right side of the machine.

The van needs a power steering fluid reservoir, a tuneup, and a new rear door

As for the tm, the water pump needs tlc, and the 185f thermal relief valve needs replaced. 🤞. Once I get it completed, we’ll see what other issues it might have

I’m waiting on an aluminum pipe to be made to hook the blower up to the waste tank

Looks like a lot of unnecessary work
You should be cleaning carpet
My main rig has been at Jondon getting 2k hr. service for the last 2 days. So I took off thur-sun to work on this and hopefully get it ready to clean this sunday.

As for your asshole comment...it's necessary. I paid a good price for the van and machine, and My schedule is full.

First testing with blower attached.

I got the heat around 185-200. The thing that puzzles me is when I pull the trigger, it holds heat pretty good. When I let off trigger, the heat drops fast. Any ideas on why it’s doing that?

And I think it needs a new thermostat because the anitifreeze is only about 135f at the coolant heat exchanger. Isn’t it supposed to be around 160-175?

Is it bypassing water when not triggered?
