Can I input hot water to truck mounted machine? This will make the output water much hotter, but will this make the machine too hot and burned?

Negative.Big smile Input should always be cold. Big smile You have
HE to heat up the water..Approve Hot will damage pump
sooner or later. Angry Sure, it will be hotter at the expense
of a new pressure pump sooner.. Shocked

The message from the experts (means people with personal experience) is don't try it unless you want your pump to die a premature death.  Stop thinking about it.  Cold water in, hot water out.  Some have tried.  I am one of those.  I don't recommend you ever do it. 

I no longer do HWE, only low moisture cleaning.

I also think that input Hot water is good way of cleaning. Hot water has a property that pull the dirt.

Depends on what you call hot.
 
I preheated the water going into the pump with no adverse effect and lots of hot water output. Nearly all pumps are designed to take up to 140 degree water temps without shortening their life. I limited my pre-heating to 100 degrees water temp. Used this way you will improve your cleaning without shortening your pumps life at all.

if you have a POS tm that cannot supply you with enough hot water to clean using warm not hot water may assist your POS unit in keeping up with your cleaning?

You would need to check with the pump manufacture, to see what tempratures a pump can operate at. Pumptec pumps can operate at very high tempratures

I don't think it will make much difference if you have a good heat exchanger....

 I was thinking the same thing today. My water box has a relief valve that says 180 deg. That means that when the water in the box reaches that temp it would open and dump into waste tank. So the water goes from the water box to the pump at 179 deg or less without pump damage so there should be no problem hooking to a hot water sorce to get water as long as it is not greater than 180 deg. Correct? I only do this in the winter to help my HX out.
