THE FIRST question before buying any truck mount

[Bjorn]

Does it have a microprocessor


Prochem 405 Microprocessor
Posted By Chad Hensley on 4/8/2010 at 12:39 PM
According to who does maintenance on our unit the microprocessor on our unit has fried and cannot be fixed... They are quoting us $2800 to upgrade this to gauges....

Does this sound reasonable?? Or is there a place or someone that may be able to get parts for this??

Any help is greatly appreciated..

should be...
will it last 20 years...

does it have any 1957 tractor parts in a brand new 1983 Ford E250 Church van

 

[Joe Bristor]

Is it new on the market? :?:
:arrow: If so, buyer beware.

The LAST one i sold had a CHEVY dist wit a HE cap and rotor on top!

i would LOVE to see the mechanic that go's ta tune that one up

but it'll run forever!

an' jus cuz it's got windows..
don make it a church bus......

it makes it MUCH safer to SEE outa...when yor in strange driveways
wit chillen crawlin' around everwheres!

i would MUCH MORE worry about little Billy stepin' on a wet electrical cord!

computers may make some things better, but that comes with a high price tag, esp in vehicles and engines.

i've i were starting out today...
i'd buy a van wit blowed up motor in it......
PULL the motor
YANK OUT the brain and computer and all the wirin'

then put in a little 305 chev or a 302 ford wit a DEjetted 2 bl carb..
one working hour at 1650 RPM's =.08 gal!

Yous lawnmower motor guys can't do that!!!

Nice Bawb. What's your blower turning at on the machine?

For $2,800 I can sell you 2 new TNT motors.

welp my moter is at 1650 RPM's....
driveshaft pulley is 6"
blower pully is 5"

so i'm guessin' the blower is spinnin' about 1800 give or take
maybe someone knows the math?

 

[Jimbo]

6 divided by 5 = 1 to 1.2 Ratio


so 1650 rpms times 1.2 = 1980 rpms on the blower

 

[Ryan]

6 divided by 5 = 1 to 1.2 Ratio


so 1650 rpms times 1.2 = 1980 rpms on the blower

I thought blowers where supposed to be spun at 3500 RPM's or so...?

Someone tell me I didn't jack up my blower when I fixed the governer on my engine?

 

[Royal Man]

An other reason why I love my electric.

Gets so hot I can't hold on to the handtool with out a thermal glove, melts gum.

$2800 would buy a couple of vacs a pump and a stainless waste tank.

Add a little giant, a poly freshwater tank and you're in busuness.

 

[Doug Cox]

It would be nice for someone from PC to come forward and justify ripping machine owners off in the amount of 2800.00 for a freakin computer. I thought 1000.00 from Powerclean for a computer was outrageous.

 

[MerCrewser]

He said it is 2800 to convert it, not for a new computer. This 2800 number says to me they don't want the job. I think it would be a fun project to convert it. Gotta be alot of used parts out there. Once done it will run forever. I remember seeing one when they came out. Looked scary to me.

 

[Ron Werner]

Nice thing about my old Big Red, no computers, just a solenoid here and there. I usually could always get it to run.
Nice thing about the CanAm, same thing, give it fuel and oil and she'll go.
