Thanks for the info, when the truck mount service center was out of mechanics that day and I needed to replace an alternator belt, your video saved the day!
in the process now of installing the unit in a newer van, so when i pulled it out i removed the engine , put it on a engine stand replaced all gaskets and front and rear seals ,cleaned painted and now im waiting for my dirty water tank to get fixed, come to find out there were all kinds of pin holes and corrosion which makes aluminium pit and cause leaks without even knowing it , 20 years old tho. good luck , if you have any questions give a holler , ive had pretty much every thing happen and know how to trouble shoot. there good truck mounts , but the cork gaskets get brittle and the end seals will start to leak , im going to post a couple short videos on it soon.
That's a clean rig for a Performer sir, nice to see. I was trained on these, and recently picked up a used one with a micro-processor on the front instead of the classic analog controls. Wish me luck :/
awesome , nice machine , I'm confident this machine will last past my retirement and beyond , i thought i had a small oil pan gasket leak but come to find out i just had it a touch to much oil in it , so do not fill past high mark on dip stick ,, it doesn't take much past and will leak. I have over 7000 hrs and still doesn't burn a drop of oil and heat is spot on as long as your heat exchangers are clean and air pump works, as well as your bye pass valves are good.
The one I just acquired is at 7,400, it's an oily mess... and it runs like a striped ape. I've been cleaning it up and changing oils and pumps all day, and have complete faith in it. It probably sounds cliche, the they really do not build them like the Performer anymore. As a side note, I found a great distributor that carries almost every part you could ever need, and doesn't mark everything up to ridiculous levels like a certain... Don we all know. Feel free to message if you ever need a second opinion. nate@sabyltech.com
@@jgalves5 A&R Supply out of Albuquerque, NM. We had a couple of shipping screwups with them since having this conversation, but they're still the best stocked and most fair with pricing in my experience.
