Has anyone transfered a Vortex from an old chasis to new Chasis?

[Papa John]

Please share any info.

I might have to do the same since the old chassis has to be retired from service in California in 2020- unless the law changes.

been trying to sell it on Ebay but no action.

Lee can tell you how to do it

You trying to kill me?

 

[hogjowl]

No
Just trying to get Boyle going

 

[Papa John]

Hum does that mean it was tried but epic fail?
Hoping to save this thing. Blower, silencer, cat pump near new.

Find a compliant vehicle with a similar pto (preferably identical), and that can legally have it's exhaust tapped for the hx.

Dinosaurs once ruled the earth but even they were allowed to die.

Seriously you could easily sell her in another state.

 

[Papa John]

I'm trying to. It's listed on EBAY. It's just too new after refurbished to let die.

Wouldnt I just buy same vehicle as AT is using today and try to buy PTO from them? Wished AT offered this service.

Have you asked?

No not even that close to easy as you would still have to engineer the chasis for the Pto and you would have to get a truck the still had a throttle cable.

Wouldnt I just buy same vehicle as AT is using today and try to buy PTO from them? Wished AT offered this service.

This would be cost prohibitive and just as much work as building a new one with the headaches of using used parts. Plus your setup controls rpm by throttle cable and the newer trucks are all eletronic throttle with programming to disable regen during pto operating periods.

You might find an 07 0r latest an 08 that might have a throttle cable then you have a bunch of engineering to do for blower mounting/bracing and pto chasis and power transfer calculations and executions.

And this would only buy you a few years of service.

 

[Papa John]

Have you asked?

yes I inquired about it a few years ago but they were not interested at the time.
Maybe you have more convincing power.
I would think they are other V owners in CA that might want same repair.

But sounds like engineering headache from what Dealtimeman says. I thought PTO was only issue.

He's just buttering you up for a low ball offer......

Hours: 6108 total, less then 600 on new blower
Miles: about 119360
Year: 2004
6008: Yes
AT, FMI or Blueline?: AT
New parts?: new blower, silencer, fairly new cat pump, cat pump clutch, new tires, new brakes, transmission serviced
Fixes?: Had fuel system serviced, changed injectors. The fresh water tank doesn't seem to leak anymore with last repair
Needing attention?: Oddly the gauges work sometimes and others not on 1st job, then better on 2nd job. maybe from sitting around too much. The APO isn't working, small rust spot on rear window. As you may know these are gutless going over the Sierras.. But maybe just a fuel/air mixture issue. goes 65-70 in SF highways.
What's included?: Not much--maybe some Old vac hose If you want them. few gallons of Zentherm if I don't use it before selling. some oil and fuel filters, back up camera.
Price? 24,000 or Best offer.

Why don't you just keep running it until 2020, make as much money as you can until then, and when the law expires it, sell it everywhere else then for $12k. It'll probably bring in another $500k between now and 2020, and it'll sell faster then

 

[Jimmy L]

Marty will buy it and drive it all the way back to Bama. So he can be one of the big boys : )

 

[hogjowl]

Castex wand ...

When I searched Ebay last night it did not pull up. Two other Vortex's did.

Can you change how its listed? Add the word "Vortex" maybe??

 

[Jimmy L]

I HATE YOU MARTY!

My guys don't like driving it. In SF there are trees planted on sidewalk near curb. sometimes these trees make parking difficult.
One guy is scared of the flat nose cab over design if he should be in accident== he could hurt his pussy.

 

[Papa John]

Is Jimmy still using a Castex wand?-- are we going to have to start a GOFundMe Page to get him a new wand?
But then we might have to do same for Ofer-- He still uses a flip phone.

maybe I'll do something stupid with the vortex if it doesn't sell-- export it to Thailand and use it to suck the rice grains of the stalks.
