i Cant remember where I saw a home made truck mount running a 454 Big block chevy racing engine , with 2 pumps, 2 blowers, 4 heat exchangers and 2 waste tanks the thing even had headers. All I could think was ...gas guzzler and wow, what the !?!?!?
Its not, but its possible to make a carbon fiber bezel.Better be real carbon fiber for that price.

It doesn’t work that way. Yes you can put an unloader/regulator on each “out” port of the pump but the pressure will only build to what the lowest regulator is set at. So if you try to set one regulator to 1200 psi and then you set the other regulator at 500 psi the max you will get is 500 psi on both sides. Basically the water will follow the path of least resistance. Once the pressure builds up to 500 psi the rest is bypassed back to the water box not allowing the other side to build up over 500 either.If your pump is like most it has 2 pressure outlets. You just duplicate the exact design you currently have for your second tool with either a second unloader or bypass pressure regulator (which ever one you currently have). If you don't have room on the panel for another gauge or unloader knob you would need to add a subpanel somewhere, but that's easy.
Todd you are 100% correct my explanation is not right. I had to talk to my brother to remember exactly how we did it. We had 2 regulators on his machine in the 90's for carpet and upholstery. Pressure came from the pump to the high pressure regulator and then out to the panel QC for the high pressure tool and also went to the second regulator and then out to the lower pressure tool. Because pressure was reduced when both were keyed (probably because of hose size we used behind the panel should have been bigger) we ended up tying both pump outputs to the high pressure regulator to over come this. This worked good like that.It doesn’t work that way. Yes you can put an unloader/regulator on each “out” port of the pump but the pressure will only build to what the lowest regulator is set at. So if you try to set one regulator to 1200 psi and then you set the other regulator at 500 psi the max you will get is 500 psi on both sides. Basically the water will follow the path of least resistance. Once the pressure builds up to 500 psi the rest is bypassed back to the water box not allowing the other side to build up over 500 either.
The only way to set two different pressure settings would be to have 2 pumps plumbed completely separate from each other. The problem you run in to here is you also need dedicated heat exchangers for each pump along with temperature controls and bypasses for each pump system. Basically you are building two truckmounts on one frame with one blower.
All this being said I have developed a way to clean tile and carpet at the same time with my truckmount. I set the pressure to 1500 psi and figured a way to reduce the pressure for the carpet wand. I’ve been doing this for about a year now. It works great.
I am not certain of that. Better get the answer from Legend Brands or an Interlink Truckmount expert.Scott, is there adjustable pressure setting?
Ex: wand one- 500 psi
Wand 2- 1000 psi
Wand 3- 1500 psi
LOL like Kardon, the (older) TM's seem...better built. My Aquaclean has grease fittings on the PTO shaft.lol I was thinking Harmon Kardon when I 1st saw it.
My garage build is working like a champ..for almost a year now.yea you know a lot of people slam these garage builds.....
i have 2 namcos who also are not making tm anymore?????
still in business and still suport their tm...but
they are focusing on scooter portables.........
but over the years i have learned to work on them myself....
havent been to a truckmount mechanic in 10 years.....
probably best to find an easy to work on custom garage truckmount....
but I dont think you can find one unless you go with fuel heat....
I think ur math is a little off there buddy lol$40,000.00 = 40,000 / $1000.00 dollar jobs. Not including all the other expenses so probably more like 50,000 one thousand jobs. Does anyone else see that as plain nuts? I don’t think I at 51 years old have that many jobs left in me. And that’s just to pay off the friggen thing wowwee. Think I’d move totally to encapsulating
Yup, I'm building the $4 million truck mount... I'm selling it to the oil SheiksI think ur math is a little off there buddy lol
Thats only 40 $1000 tickets not 40,000 $1000 tickets lol.
