PTO TMS give you the least problems most of the time, because nothing is more reliable than a water cooled automotive engine. Only possible exception to that rule is a TM powered by a water cooled auto engine that has 4 cylinders and gets used in a high dollar slide-in machine. Then you may be good for 10,000 or more trouble free miles, which compares favorably with the PTO machines.

Hello to you all !! Two expresses loving it ! Bottom line nxt unit will be a pto .
Had problems with both tms. In the future the plan is to keep it simple and go PTO.
As far as the vans 4.8 big difference in gas. Although the 6.0 is no joke when it comes to power.  Edited by 77748 - 26/December/2006 at 12:32am |

I never heard that they were the "best" engineers they had....all I heard was that they left when Castlerock took over I've always assumed it was a money thing I'm not knocking the machines,I don't know enough about them
I'm sure they're a fine knock off
my only concern would be if they'll still be around in the future having heard that their financial support is minimal......but it could be a rumor I dunno |

My understanding is the best engineers left Prochem and formed there own comany and came out with the Blueline. Supposedly they made a machine that can work. Yes they are still new have not heard any negative feedback spoke with several dealers and they say that is one helluva machine. http://www.bluelineequip.com/bluewave.htm Edited by 77748 |

has blueline been around long enough to have feedback?
I don't think you'll see too many Cleanco slide ins for sale simply because I don't think too many get sold they're the same as a Prochem and cost the same so I imagine most people think the same as me and figure
"may as well buy the Prochem" Edited by Steaminpile |

The h*** with buying a new van . Purchased two used vans 2004 2500 extended 4.8 v8 engine with 24k miles smells new. $ 14,500 2003 3500 extended 6.0 v8 engine with 95 k miles nice &nb sp; $ 10,000 I will sell my 91 and 2000 chevy astro van . These new ones are like limos damn they are big. Like driving a bus. Just have to finance a new Bluewave dual wander and transfer my other Cleanco. I have noticed you do not see many Cleanco units out there used for sale. Seriously. I seen Boxers really cheap I asked why (because they have problems ) too many solenids and or ect. heard nothing bad about the Bluewave. Edited by 77748 |

Went somewhere else and about to happen in the works 25,685 with an 6.0 engine, fuel aux and GMC 3500 extra beefed suspension. This is out the doori nstalled. I am financing a Bluewave for 20,000 with all the extra goodies 7900 down and my payment for both will be $740.00 per month The loan is together using GMC. |

Thats what a GMC Dealer said today called my cleanco dealer and he said 4 to 500 hundred includes the part and labor. GMC dealer said thats what they charge 1,260. He must have been smoking anyways I took my business elsewhere. He lost a deal of selling me a new GMC 3500 and financing a TM. Who knows waht else he was thinking of ripping me a new hole.

Correct !! Car Dealer will charge you 1260.00 thats one told me today GMC . Since you have purchased it already your carpet cleaning dealer will probably charge you 4 to 500 at least thats what mine said. |

Bryan, he's saying that it will be cheaper for you to order the van with the extra port in the tank for your TM to suck gas out of. Rather than have a port installed later when you have your TM mounted. Vehicles don't normally come with an extra port in the gas tank, you have to ask for it extra.
