at a glance..........you are missing the other end of the love joy coupling ...(and the spider insert ) off the cat pump to the Xentherm pump....and looks like you will need to replace or rebuild the pump.....that thing don't look like it has turned in quite awhile....have no clue what the bottom picture is

well the pump hasnt turned in a while but it turns pretty freely (i think) with my fingers. the other pics are from the bottom of the truck looking in.

then start by putting the coupling back together between the cat and the oil pump and fire it up....cant really tell nothing else till then..............make sure they are lined up real good..or it will chew the spider all to hell.......

Motion industry will have the love joy parts you need. Do you now if the E3 exchanger under the truck has been replaced before?
I would bang my fist on it an see if anything sounds loose in there, she may be rotted out like mine was.
Do a air pressure test on the E3 by removing both lines and see if she holds pressure. If air and rust dust blow out the exhaust side she is toast.
Your pump may be fine but don't run it long with out oil running threw it.
These older trucks were disabled of zen heat after the E3 went south, that is why all the couplers are removed. Mine did not have a coupler and the Exhaust Diverter was stuck. Which can be repaired
Holler if I can help.

Everyday is Saturday.
i checked my two pumps and they are frozen i do think i have the love joy though give me a call. also do what brad said and pressure test the e3, dont fill it with expensive xentherm and just to waste it if the e3 or e2 is cracked or busted.

a diesel burner would solve all your problems and probably end up cheaper.

Yep, dump that nightmare and get a fuel fired system.

Why should I get that done? Can't things go wrong with propane as well?
I think I can do all the work myself and fix my Xen for pretty cheap.

I was hoping to get it working they way it was originally designed. Has your secondary heating system given you that much shit there mike?

At first it did, as it gets older it's lost some steam.
Now with two 010 flow wands it really is nothing to write home about heat wise.
If my first job of the day was on the moon then I would have impressive heat.

gotcha. If I replace the E3 with the stainless replacement, would my heat still be just so-so? What causes the heat to slow down like that?

Thats a darn good question.
Maybe my E3 needs cleaning.

i don't know the vortex heater but a diesel burner will give heat day in and day out with only the one fuel. if it were my truck i would want simple great heat and a diesel burner does that.
you could still work on the xentherm system and use it as a boost. i guess that depends one your time table.
