Made up my mind. New truckmount.

[Becker]

Going to buy a used blueline thermal wave from jondon. 1600 hrs. Nissan engine.

Ill have it installed once biz slows down a bit.

Seems like the best deal out there besides just buying new.

 

[Desk Jockey]

That should be a good machine for you Becker. Congrats!

 

[Becker]

Yeah, I think it will be a great machine, I will now follow Jim Martins posts so closely..

 

[Jim Martin]

Need anything just yell....Over half the board has me on speed dial....what's one more...I answer quicker with text messages....

 

[Becker]

Tell me where to text my man. You are by far the most detailed owner operator mechanic ever.

[Becker]

So. As the tab increases what is the bottle of choice?

 

[curt johnson]

Don't let Becker fool anyone...Once you get past the Opie Tayler, happy go lucky persona" he is one of the most knowledgable on here when it comes to TM maintinence and repair. The man can change an engine out faster than a Kasey Kahne pit crew....

 

[Becker]

My TMs have never seem the inside of a repair shop. So ya might be onto something Curt. Brent did have me on speed dial for awhile till he upgraded his tm.

However, I'm thrilled to have such an organized detailed knowledgable guy like Jim in my contacts with the same machine.

you may want to look up Les' old videos about how he fixed the Blueline unit that had all those over heating issues.

I will be installing a Thermalwave w 3500 hours into a sprinter van in the next few weeks.

It has the 5.6 blower and the nissan 60 hp engine.

It doesn't perform like my Vortex w the 5.9 blower but it comes pretty close when running 4 to the door.

We have a kit that we made a couple of years ago that is a simple fix for over heating if a person needs one.

 

[Becker]

Thought the nissans were 49hp with #5s

 

[Giorgio]

Your probably right about the HP cuz I can't remember chit these days.. but, a 60hp slide-in sure does sound good.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

You can easily get more hp out of the Nissan

Hey Bill, do you have a 2.5 inch adapter for the thermalwave? I can run 4 to the door with it but i'd rather just run 2.5 inch hose to the door. Thanks

This unit should run like a beast it looks overbuilt and very capable set up. I have looked at it up close multiple times. One of my buddy's has one and it runs with no problems day in and out.

 

[Mikey P]

are you going to be running two trucks now Don?


sorry if you've already laid out your plans and I missed those comments..

 

[Becker]

2013. 3 trucks.

 

[Mikey P]

no kidding?

mind sharing the details of your employee situation?

 

[Jim Martin]

yes we run the filter box with 2 2" ports on the front.

change one port to a 2.5 and then just get a reducer....

I have my hose set up at 100 feet of 2 inch and then 3 25 foot lengths of 2.5...( then there is about another 150 feet or so of 2 inch under the 2.5..)

If I can get away with a 100 foot run then I just hook the reducer straight to the filter box....if not then I will pull off as much 2.5 as need to make the run.....

I also line the 2.5 opening with a knee high to filter everything..leave the basket in to hold the weight or in case the knee high breaks.......

 

[Becker]

What do you want to know Mikey?

 

[Bill Bruders]

what kit is this and what is in it....I replaced my fan and have had not over heating problems at all....just curious on what this is........

Well we added an electric fan assembly that is part of the shroud on the right side of the unit to move air past the entire engine, alternator etc. especially important if the unit is in a closed van. For any parts etc. contact your local dealer or Sapphire parts directly.866-445-3030

 

[Mikey P]

What do you want to know Mikey?

How many techs do you have?

What are they skilled at? In other words what can you do that they can't?

How long did it take to train them before you were comfortable to send them out on their own?

Can they fix minor truckmount issues with out calling you?

How old are they and where did you find them?

Do they know about MB?

What sort of benefits do you offer?
