This little beauty isn't cheap to replace and in its installed position is susceptible to damage.

I had one go out after 2 years water damaged on my 570

I blamed my tech at the time.

Empire floor machine fixed it for $600.

Well its acted up a few months ago and Tim at Empire cleaned it up apparently there was a little coolant leak that got to the wires.

Well he moved it to the back of the frame rather easily.

Where nothing that can get it wet now, unless theres a hose burst which never happens on truckmounts.

Yet the prior damage is causing problem.

Also the harness maybe bad.

They now want $680 for the computer, no mention of harness in that price.

I found the part as low as $300 online but it takes forever to ship it here.

One place in Pennsylvania can get it here by Thursday for $477.

So I decided to try and save a little.

Not that I am opposed to helping my dealership, but after all the other headaches. I have to start making money and stop getting ripped off.

Moral of the story move your Computer on your 570 or even your new Everest because they're bound to get wet at some point and they're not well insulated from corrosion.

I always thought heat was why Jim moved his.

Half the width and 100% same results.

Go figga

I'm sure I have more psi and heat and can go farther then a 100 ft from the truck.

I mean the peak isn't a 570 and it's better than a 370.

Still a little more thought into a 25k machine to protect components would be nice.

Blister should give an SFS class on how to cut your nose off in spite of your face. Also how to cut off the entire country of Australia because of paranoia.

It ended up not being the computer it wasn't even the coil.

Its was wiring to two coils that were hitting and missing.

Mitch heard of the the thread here and called me and told me to take my machines somewhere else..

I took it to Greg at truckmount specialist and he got it figured out.

Ps Mitch is more mad about me not buying a 3rd computer at his price.

Like I just want to undercut him.

I just want my stuff to work and when I send it some where I want it fixed right.

I spent $55 on the diagnoses $75 for my guy to drive it up there $30 in gas.

And $500 for a part I didn't need.

Last I checked it February and the slow season.

I dont have Mikey Money to throw around.

Lastly mitch messaged back later and said they would do the pro1200 warranty work.

Sapphire already shipped him the stuff.
