imagine you just took delivery of a shiny new 8000 q or whatever the hell it is last month or plan to next month. the machine runs great, you are a high end cleaner, that uses real prespray and doesn't rebuild broke dick machines like bob vawter, anyway you run the machine for 3 years and 2500 hours, you get into a traffic accident run the truck off the road, bend the frame and total the truck. remember this is in year 2013, blueline has been sold again because legends only wanted to make a profit on the company as it was really only about the money anyways, you do know legends is merely an investment company looking to make a buck. aerotech, finally gave up 18 mos ago and is out of spare parts. york is trying to con some unsuspecting manufacturer to make vortexs again inbetween his trips to costa rica. your problem is you have a totaled truck with a perfectly good vortex unit in it. 2013 diesel emissions and computer controls will not allow monkeying with the exhaust flow, the computer controls of the truck are drive by wire, a check engine light will come on if you run the machine at a constant RPM, so tap the cruise control will shawn york or blueline be able to do that, what about the HX that got crushed in the crash, no parts are there. what if the new model truck has a PTO on the other side of the trans, even scarier what if UD isuzu and mitsu, decides to quit making COE diesel trucks all together?? they feel the emissions and other hassles are not worth it. ( in case you didn't know Caterpillar has quit making on road diesel engines for on road applications because of emissions) who is going to save you?? who is going to remove your machine and put it in a new truck?? who is going to sell you parts?? who is going to help you interface the electronics of the new truck to the vortex from the old truck. who the hell is even going to be there to answer the friggen phone??
ask a vortex owner how much support they have gotten for their machines when something went bad, shawn is a salesman/marketer, he doesn't know a test light from a torque wrench, just wanted to pop the vortex ego bubble and bring it back to earth with this post. Even shawn says legends is done with vortex, he even accuses them of hosing him on commission checks, so you have a white elephant machine, that you better darn well hope you can find someone to fix, because shawn isn't, blueline aint, and aerotech caint.
