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. |

J.D. Power study identifies top seats for your tush
Tue, Aug 29 2017File under News your fanny can use: The seating systems in the Ford Escape and Edge, the Audi A3, Chevrolet Cruze, Kia Cadenza, Porsche Cayenne and Toyota Tundra received top marks in a new J.D. Power study on seating and seat belt quality and satisfaction. The J.D. Power 2017 Seat Quality and Satisfaction Study asked more than 77,000 new owners and lessees of 2017 model-year cars and light trucks to rate their vehicle's seats and seat belts within the first 90 days of taking ownership. The survey is broken up into seven vehicle segments and scored on total seat problems per 100 within each segment, with awards presented to the seating system supplier. Canadian auto supplier Magna won three of seven first-place awards for its seating systems in the A3, Escape and Edge. Ireland-based Adient got top marks for its seats in the Cadenza and Cayenne. Lear Corp. won for the Cruze, and Avanzar Interior Technologies scored highest for seats in the Tundra. J.D. Power says its study is intended for automakers and suppliers with quality and satisfaction information to be used in developing and marketing seating systems. "But the results are just as interesting to a consumer audience," the company says. "After all, some drivers spend a considerable amount of time behind the wheel, and it's helpful to know which vehicles offer the most comfortable seats for those long commutes." Ain't that the truth. Ford was the only automaker whose seat systems, both manufactured by Magna, received top honors in two segments: the Escape for mass-market compact SUV and the Edge for mass-market midsize/large SUV. J.D. Power says it used 22 attributes to measure seat quality, three measures of seat belt quality and 12 to measure satisfaction. Awards were presented to the seating suppliers.

The Army goes off-roading with a hydrogen Chevy Colorado
Sun, Nov 22 2015The Chevrolet Colorado is joining the service. General Motors is working with the US Army Tank Automotive Research, Development & Engineering Center (TARDEC) to build a Colorado powered by a commercial hydrogen fuel cell stack, and the Army will use it in "extremes of daily military use for 12 months." TARDEC is the department that tests "advanced military automotive technology" and integrates them into ground systems. The aim is to see how well the benefits of a fuel cell vehicle can be adapted to the battlefield; hydrogen-powered vehicles are quiet, torquey, produce water, and can be used to provide electricity in the field. GM says the design sketch above "foreshadows" the Colorado that will go to boot camp and beyond, making it clear that this won't be the average midsize pickup. The press release below has more. Related Video: GM and U.S. Army to Demonstrate Extreme Off-Road Hydrogen Fuel Cell Chevrolet Colorado Agreement focused on proving unique utility and viability of fuel cell propulsion WARREN, Mich. 2015-11-19 – General Motors and the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research, Development & Engineering Center (TARDEC) are modifying a Chevrolet Colorado midsize pickup truck to run on a commercial hydrogen fuel cell propulsion system and will expose the truck to the extremes of daily military use for 12 months. "Hydrogen fuel cell technology is important to GM's advanced propulsion portfolio, and this enables us to put our technology to the test in a vehicle that will face punishing military duty cycles," said Charlie Freese, executive director of GM's Global Fuel Cell Engineering activities. Fuel cell propulsion has very high low-end torque capability useful in off-road environments. It also offers exportable electric power and quiet operation, attractive characteristics to both commercial and military use. "The potential capabilities hydrogen fuel cell vehicles can bring to the Warfighter are extraordinary, and our engineers and scientists are excited about the opportunity to exercise the limits of this demonstrator," said TARDEC Director Paul Rogers. "FCVs are very quiet vehicles, which scouts, special operators and other specialties place a premium," he said. "What's more, fuel cells generate water as a by-product, something extremely valuable in austere environments." GM and TARDEC have fuel cell development and research facilities located 20 minutes apart in Pontiac and Warren, Mich.
Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra could get independent rear suspension
Fri, Jan 3 2020The Chevrolet Silverado and the GMC Sierra could reportedly receive a variant of the four-link independent rear suspension found under the new Tahoe and Suburban. While that's not a surprise, a recent report suggests electrification, not comfort, convinced General Motors to make the change. Replacing the time-tested solid rear axle with an independent suspension will improve comfort, handling and off-road prowess, while adding weight, and likely making the trucks a little bit more expensive. It's a fair trade-off, but GM Authority learned the real reason for the swap is that at least one of the pickups will spawn an electric model, and it's more difficult to package a bulky battery pack around a solid rear axle. The independent rear suspension takes up far less space, even if it has more moving parts. General Motors will build its first regular-production electric pickup on an evolution of the Silverado's T1 platform named BT1, according to the same source. The b stands for -- you guessed it -- batteries. The firm reportedly doesn't want to make two suspensions for cost reasons, so the independent setup will come standard regardless of whether the truck runs on gasoline, diesel, or electricity. As a bonus, Chevrolet and GMC could choose to offer their T1-based trucks with Magnetic Ride Control or an air suspension, options available on the 2021 Suburban and Tahoe. The independent rear suspension will also find its way to the next-generation GMC Yukon due to be revealed January 14, and to the 2021 Cadillac Escalade scheduled to make its debut February 4. The long-rumored, born-again Hummer will get it, too, because it will arrive as an electric model built on the BT1 platform. It's worth noting none of this is official, and General Motors has remained quiet about what's next for its new suspension design, and what will be under its electric truck's sheet metal. If the GM Authority report is accurate, the Silverado (pictured) and the Sierra could ditch their solid rear axle for the 2021 model year. The change will likely be accompanied by other tweaks inside and out. Featured Gallery 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 View 16 Photos Chevrolet GMC Truck
