I bought this Van & truckmount because I was going to compliment my air duct cleaning business with carpet cleaning deals... something like, get our air duct cleaning package and we'll do your carpets for free. I had a portable but decided to go for the truckmount. I became certified by the IICRC in carpet cleaning and then decided that I just don't want to go down that route. I want to stick to duct cleaning only and want to buy a box truck and thus, I need to get rid of this van & truckmount.
Ok, I bought this van with completely serious mojo for it to be reliable for years to come. There's a massive amount of work and newer parts in this van. Here's a list of parts and cost (including labor): New catalytic converter ... $400 New center pipe ... $60 New muffler... $200 New tailpipe ... $45 New computer board (includes diagnostics) $250 New distributer (not just the distributer cap & rotor but includes the actual distributer)... $170 New plugs and wires (tune-up)... $100 New fuel filter... $45 New air filter... $15 Oil change/filter & PVC valve... $40 New windshield ...$300 (not shown in picture because it is currently being arranged) New axle ...$250 Ok, with all of these new parts, it might as well be a new van!. I spent well over $1500 and this vehicle passed emissions as well. Engine looks very clean. Previously it was being used in Oklahoma which is where I purchased it from. I'm assuming not much weatherization (as compared to the northeast regions) but the van runs great & the transmission is smooth. I was almost tempted to just sell the truckmount & equipment and use the van for the air duct cleaning but I decided that it's too much of a hassle and I want the bigger box truck. I also got a brand new clear title and as I mentioned, it passed the emissions test. O, did I mention that BEFORE all that work, I DROVE the van all the way from Oklahoma! With all of the work done, it's in excellent condition. BTW, the van also has brackets for ladders on its roof. TRUCKMOUNT: Ok, as for the truckmount carpet cleaning machine, it's a Panther 14 with the Kohler motor. It has the recovery tank and filter. It comes with reel that holds a 100 foot hose and solution hose. It does not have a fresh water tank but you could easily mount one. The previous owner was using a hose to connect to faucets for fresh water. That hose is also included and reeled on the back door. Now, here is the condition of the machine. The person who sold it to me, was using it before he sold it. It was in complete working order and ready to go. Just to be sure, I made him start the machine and it started right up. However, it has been sitting and not used for nearly a year. I also do not know anything about truckmount carpet cleaning machines. I know a lot about air duct cleaning machines but nothing about truck mounts, including this one. I called the number on it & they were readily available & willing to guide me through its operation but ever since I decided to not do carpet cleaning, I really don't want to waste any time at all on the machine. I was told by the previous owner that not many hours are on it and I took a pic of that dial but again, I have no clue as to how any of it works and hesitate to even start it (I fear, like power washers, that unless u have water running through them, you could damage it?)... so until I am sure 100%, I left it in the same exact condition that I received it in, which was eye witnessing that it worked... ever since then, I just left it as-is & that's exactly how I am selling it... as-is. I guestimated that the machine, recovery tank and reel (with hoses) alone cost approximately $4000 (dismounted, since it would probably cost like $700 just to install these in any vehicle). The thing that the van needs is a door key. I only have the ignition key. It costs about $70 to make a door key by a lock smith. I drive the van on the average, once a week for 30 mins to make sure that it stays in good running order and the battery charged. The van with all the new parts & labor, has more value to me than would be listed in blue book. The van alone (without the truckmount & equipment) in my view should be worth at least $3000. With the truckmount & equipment, I thing it should list for $5000 to $6000. Anyhow, I kept the min. bid very low because I want to sell it fast without issues. You are more than welcome to check it out but it's a great van and thus being sold as-is. Good luck!!! One final thing. I am NOT a new ebay-er. I used to have an account with hundreds of transactions and rating over 98%. However, it's been like 2 years since I did any obeying and lost the old account. |

GM's redesigned full-size 2021 SUVs face delay over coronavirus
Tue, Mar 31 2020As General Motors works to conserve cash for the coronavirus pandemic, the automaker reportedly told suppliers that it is postponing development of several future vehicles. The situation may cause GM to delay the launch of the 2021 Cadillac Escalade, GMC Yukon, Chevrolet Tahoe and Chevrolet Suburban SUVs, which had been planned to roll out in April. The original launch plan for the redesigned full-size SUVs, which are some of the most profitable vehicles produced by GM, had called for production of the current models to end at its plant in Arlington, Texas, this week. After a retooling process, the redesigned SUVs were slated to begin production late in the month of April. In an email to suppliers viewed by Reuters and confirmed as authentic by GM, the automaker also said it was suspending development work on six future vehicle programs, including updates of the Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Terrain, Cadillac XT4, Bolt EV, Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM said preproduction work on those programs would be pushed back to calendar year 2021, with most of the updated vehicles scheduled to be launched as 2022 models. According to the Detroit News, work has also been paused on the Chevy Camaro and a future version of the Corvette that has yet to be unveiled and wasn't planned for production during the 2020 calendar year. Last week, the automaker told employees and suppliers it was delaying work on some future vehicles while pushing ahead with near-term models such as its redesigned full-size SUVs and the GMC Hummer EV, Cadillac Lyriq, Chevrolet Bolt EUV and Cruise Origin, as well as its new Ultium battery system. A GM spokesman who spoke with Reuters reiterated on Monday what the automaker had said last week — that the situation with its U.S. plants was "fluid" and that the automaker would "continue to evaluate" whether and when to reopen those plants on a week-by-week basis, with "employee safety" guiding that decision. GM said previously that it was closing most of its U.S. plants indefinitely. In its Monday email, GM asked suppliers to stop work on all pre-production tooling and pre-production parts manufacturing, but also not to dispose of any tooling or materials. GM told Reuters it had solicited volunteers from its workforce to finish the build-out of the current SUVs on a single shift in Arlington.
Next-gen Chevy Cruze caught cruising in the cold
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Spy photographers have caught what looks like the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze out on snow patrol. The camo could be tricking our eyes, but it look like it has an even tidier, more rounded front end and even lower fenders in relation to the top of the hood. And either a chunk of camo has been wedged between the side mirrors and the doors, or the mirrors are up for revision, too.
The door handles have been moved up the side of the car, leading the way to a rear end that grows a bit in length. If the rumors are true, the coming second-generation Cruze sits on the new D2XX platform that will replace the Delta and Theta platforms at General Motors. A global architecture, the Cruze will be the first to get it, but it will underpin everything from next Chevrolet Volt to the Equinox and could be responsible for 2.5 million units by 2018. The next Cruze is expected to begin production in GM's Lordstown, Ohio plant in the third quarter of 2014.
