    Vintage air under dash

    Not only different sizes but mine came with the GM fitting at the rear so my original hoses fit to it with no modifications. As to installing another evaporator in parallel you can get hoses for the new evaporator that have an end that will connect to the OEM evaporator. See my picture site...

    Long distance transporting options- Tow Dolly? Low trailer?

    Dave Bob Drewe’s (RIP) once towed a GMC several hundred miles with a tow bar behind a pickup truck. He disconnected the front axles and just put in the stubs to hold the bearings and said it towed very well. Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick CO > > We used a GMC Savana 1500, tow strap &...

    Dipstick tube broke

    Ken One way that should work is to get a long bolt that will just slide into the broken stub head first. Then the head of the bolt can be caught on the inside of the tube. Clamp on a vice-grip and hammer up on it. When you have it part way up you can then slide a larger bolt into the tube and...

    AC shroud for Coleman 6727A

    I don’t know about the Coleman but on some of the more modern air conditioners you can actually fit the original shrouds from the Duotherms to them. The original shrouds were made of a heavy fiberglas, almost indestructible. You have to drill some new screw holes but it is a close fit. So, if...

    Infamous Nichrome Alternator Wire

    Don’t just take the posting on the net or anywhere on the internet as the truth. The diode in the circuit you refer to only helps keep the light from lighting on the dash. It does nothing to prevent high voltage back flow in case your alternator/voltage regulator fails. Why go to all the effort...

    Macerator getting weaker

    Infamous Nichrome Alternator Wire

    Greg The purpose of the nichrome wire is to “excite” the alternator so it will start producing current. I believe that I was the first one to have reported the problem with the nichrome resistance wire. The problem can only occur if there is a problem with the built in diodes (or the voltage...

    Water heater engine hose

    Tom I disconnected it from the water heater in the bathroom and then drilled a small hole through the hose about 1/2” from the end. I drilled the holes into the new hose. I put a piece of wire through the holes and attached the two hoses together with the wire. I then wrapped it with duct tape...

    Transmission Fluid

    Don’t forget that your service manual is 44 years old. A lot of changes have been made in 44 years. Synthetic oils hold up much better especially at heat. Emery Stora emerystora > > Service manual says Dex3 so thats what it gets until its no longer commercially available....i know fluids are...

    Transmission Fluid

    Carl You can save money if you don’t change it so frequently. Mobil 1 fully synthetic will last a lot longer than 15,000 miles. Ask Manny for advice. Emery Stora > > Carl, > > The first question is: Do you have a transmission temperature gauge? > That's one of the first gauges I added to...

    dash air

    The capacitor is not necessary for the running of the blower motor but it is there to prevent blower motor noise in the radio. About any capacitor for radio noise reduction can be used. If you look on the side of the capacitor it should show the value. Any capacitor of that value can be used...

    Drinking water arrangement?

    No, it's more like a cup for a full tank of water. Run it through the faucets and then wait 2 hours or so and drain the tank and refill with fresh water. Drain that and refill. Emery Stora emerystora > >> The >> mix ratio that I use are 1/4 cup Clorox to 1 gallon of Distilled Water. >> Don't...

    Drinking water arrangement?

    Your GMC owners manual has instructions for sanitizing the water tank using household bleach. This will take care of any bacteria or germs in the tank. I have been doing this for the last 39 yers that I have used the GMC. I then use a filter made by Everpure on my cold water kitchen faucet...
