Beau Reece

While in Nac visiting friends, I called Beau Reece (formerly worked on my coach several times at Bernd's) to look into my dash blower motor.  It was not blowing as much as before.

He showed up at at the appointed time with his service truck at the my friend's property with his service truck and his helper, Will.  He took the front of my dash off and the front of my dash A/C case off.  He found some corrosion on the circuit board that controls the damper doors and fan speed.  He found, near the back of the side of the case, a large plastic  piece that had fractured apart creating a large hole for the air to leak out off.  That was what causing the air flow to fall off.

He created a plastic piece to cover the hole and silver taped it into place.  Treated the corrosion with CorrosionX and replaced the front case cover.  While test running the fan on high, he felt air leaking from the case seams.  So he silver taped the seams and boy do we have excellent air flow from our dash air now.

All this took about 2 hours and $160 or 0.16 coach buck.  Plus, I did not have to move the coach.

In the past, Beau had driven to Baytown to rescue me when folks there could not solve my problem.  He did so in about 15 minutes getting me going  Then he drove behind me up to Bernd's where the top wiring harness on my engine was replace by Beau.

So, if you need mobile diesel service in Southeast Texas, give Beau a call and enjoy the excellent service at your parking spot.

T-Man,

Do not understand your question.  Beau is a diesel mechanic.  Which includes dash A/C and it components same as a car mechanic fixing my car's air conditioner.

My 1995 U320 is equipped with a Cummins M11 set to 400 hp and Allison 4060R transmission as is all other U320s of my vintage that I am aware of.  Later years saw the M11 uprated to 450 hp but still 4060R transmission, again for those that I am aware of.

If it is a engine oriented, drive train problem and you want mobile service where you are parked in Southeast Texas, Beau is your man.

Rudy,
Just my poor attempt at a bit of humor.

Thanks for the Beau Reece info.

Beau invited me to Thanksgiving Diner 2014 with his family, a great experience.
A hard worker for sure.
Should add that I took a large can of cookies from Walmart, you know the round cans about 10-12' dia and 3 inch tall, for his two young boys, the next morning Beau brought the can back, but it was full of shelled nice Pecans, not pieces, guess he put the boys to work.

The economy (and all our state of minds) would be in better shape with more people like him. We've met a few like Beau, and remember the experience to this day!  ^.^d
