My other Truckmount project

So I purchased this 2004 extended van with a white magic 1200HV with vulcan heater , the truckmount is not workin but everything is there will keep you update on the progress

Cool, lets see the progress as it goes.

Looks like you've got plunty of belts to adjust to keep you busy for awhile.

this is a good opportunity to excersice my mechanic expertise

Gerson, what areas are you serving ? From time to time I have calls from rancho Cucamonga and such that I don't really service, if you're interested I can refer you if you want ?

Palmdale, Lancaster, Rosamond ,Mojave and California City
Rancho Cucamonga is too far from me Thank you Dp1

Nice Gerson,
I think this one will come out good, you have done some really good projects. Looking forward to the progress.

Good thing Joe isn't around, to make fun of his mobile house huh, SCCC?

I am honestly surprised Gerson has stayed on Joe's good side as long as he has the way Joe talked about him.
In all honesty when we first moved it really sucked bad, and it still sucks but it really lets you know who your true friends are. I don't mind any more if people judge or poke fun of our situation there really not worth the warmth off my pile of ----

Figured I'd make it 4 for 4..............

I don't think they are anymore?......Thought he got "fired" lol a couple weeks ago?

Proverbs 14:2 Those who live right respect the LORD, but dishonest people hate him.
Pro 14:7 Stay away from fools, there is nothing they can teach you.
Pro 14:8 Wisdom lets smart people know what they are doing, but stupid people only think they know.
Pro 26:1 Just as snow should not fall in summer, nor rain at harvest time, so people should not honor a fool.
Pro 26:2 Don't worry when someone curses you for no reason. Nothing bad will happen. Such words are like birds that fly past and never stop.
Pro 26:3 You have to whip a horse, you have to put a bridle on a mule, and you have to beat a fool.
Pro 26:4 There is no good way to answer fools when they say something stupid. If you answer them, then you, too, will look like a fool. If you don't answer them, they will think they are smart.
Pro 26:6 Never let a fool carry your message. If you do, it will be like cutting off your own feet. You are only asking for trouble.
Pro 26:7 A fool trying to say something wise is like a crippled person trying to walk.
Pro 26:8 Showing honor to a fool is as bad as tying a rock in a sling.
Pro 26:9 A fool trying to say something wise is like a drunk trying to pick a thorn out of his hand.

TM Project Proverbs?

And here I thought God loved Everyone, including "Fools"?

Anyone else notice the homemade bracket raising up the real on the hose real?........Kinda a good idea I think, for a simple/inexpensive way to gain storage space huh?

Looks like a great project....clean van, good system and it looks to be all there. Should be able to make some money with it.

Extended van must be nice. How many miles on that puppy?

220k miles had the engine replaced at 180k the engine has good compression and runs really nice 6.0 engine

That's the way to do it...buy direct drives with replaced motor already or plan on replacing once home.

Those direct drive tm systems are not very expensive parts-wise, but they charge a ton for them installed in a van. if the van is in good shape and the motor is relatively new, that is a steal of a deal.

the good thing about all this is that I can do an engine swap and rebuild the truckmount my self

If you need parts for the 1200 sapphire bought out the direct drive division of wm years back in case you didn't know. Does yours have two Hx's I only seen one in the pictures some had two for more heat.

yes it does have a second HX off the blower it had a hole on the coil is getting repair
do you have a front pannel sticker let me know

looks like a nice project. I like the front end on those newer expresses.

what blower does the wm have?

this one has a roots 56

I don't have a decal but if u call sipphire and talk to Scott in service he might be able to help you.

I already talked to Scott and they do not have any , if you know anybody that needs the fresh water tank goin to sell it

What size is the tank?

120 Gallon Fresh Water Tank w/ Turbo Dryer Rack
(TA-120)
This 120 gallon fresh water tank is an optional tank for our Direct
Drive units. It is manufactured with a turbo dryer rack mounted on
the top that will fit 3 air movers. It also has bungee hooks welded
onto the sides for securing items while your driving from job to job.
This option provides you with more storage space.

look on this manual on page 120
