I bought an Everest. Good or bad deal?

[Living The Dream]

I just picked up this old Everest. It needs a little TLC, but it runs like a champ. Nissan motor, 4100 hours, and I paid $3500. Good deal or bad? I think I'm going to install it in my Promaster.

Is your van a 2500 or 3500?

You’ll love it

Take the time to spit and polish it before you install it and put some new gauges on it.

Definitely going to degrease and clean it up. I'm really excited to get it setup. Do you think I should put bed liner in my van before installing?

3500

Can I see a picture of your install?

Great deal. Those older Everests last forever with a little care. Powerful and hot

All day long and twice on Sunday. I would’ve bought it and put it in my trailer. Line your bed. Any other questions

[Jimmy L]

Hopefully you ran it before you bought it

I would like to try and do it myself, but I don't have much spare time. I'll try a couple other body shops tomorrow.

I did the herculiner diy stuff. I didnt have time to wait for linex to be scheduled. I saved a ton but herculiner is no where near is durable as the linex. Overall it is working just fine though. You should be able to put it down in two days if its dry conditions. It rained all weekend when I did my promaster. 3 coats

You did good on the Everests. Run the Sh!t out of it

 

[Kenny Hayes]

You bought the Everest for $3500, might as well spend 1200 to line it. Remember, we’re post Covid. Putting in context, my circle drive cost 18k

I did Raptor liner. It came out great. I bought it on amazon. I mixed the black and the white and got grey. It came out good.

Did you have a lot of prep like wire brush and sanding?

I scuffed everything with scotch-brite then wiped everything down with acetone.

Is it the 410 blower or the 408.

They both kick butt.

The heat is better than the 570 which is crazy good too.
