Check with Alex Sirum GMC in Okeechobee FL. They make a metal pin. Emery Stora > > I guess Mine is OK after all so I won't need one thank goodness. BUT, unfortunately, the heater control itself has a broken pin that looks like a sun > of a gun to make. I'm hoping the super glue will hold it...

I chuckle when I hear about water wetters. Do you know what is in them or are you acting on blind faith on their advertising or on what you read on the label? They contain glycols which should not do any harm to your engine but will do nothing good more than a well formulated antifreeze...

John I rebuilt my dash many years back using aluminum strips behind the donut to hold the plastic together and then used 1/2” aluminum angle to support the dash in place of the original plastic struts. Here are a few pictures. http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/g4883-dash-repair.html...

Thanks, Ken. I had not heard that but it has been a few years since my windshields were replaced. Emery > > Viracon was bought up by another company a few years back and they stopped making GMC windshields after that. > > There were in the past some windshields being made in Finland and also...

Peer You are going a long way back in time. Henry has not been active with the GMC group for many years. The posting you refer to is 1998, almost 20 years ago. There is a nationwide RV glass company in the USA that will do GMC windows. They advertise in the FMCA Family Motor Coaching...

The original rubber gasket that had a sleeve that fit over the nose of the master cylinder is no longer made but I had gotten a part that David machined from nylon (or other plastic) that filled the space between the master cylinder and the seal that is currently available. Don’t depend on...

David Lenzi has addressed this problem (and vacuum leakage) and has had seminars on it at GMCMI conventions. He has machined parts to give the proper seal. You might want to contact David about your problem. Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick, CO > > So before bleeding the brakes after...

Don’t rule out the distributor yet. It could be the coil or the pickup coil. Also check (or just replace) the distributor cap and rotor. It is also possible that your replacement module is bad. I’ve had that happen. It is more likely that a sudden case of misfiring is electrical rather than...

James, I agree that 110 psi should give you maximum travel however I think the reason some want a higher pressure in their pressure tank is to allow the coach to raise faster. Especially when leveling the coach at a campsite. Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick, CO > > I work on these air...

There are no rubber hoses in the tank. They attach to the metal fuel pick up line which is part of the level indicator float assembly. This fits into the top of the tank with a flange and gasket that turns to seal it. There are two hoses. One is fuel pickup. The other is a vent line. Emery...

> >> In 2010 while the GMC was on the hoist waiting for the engine to be rebuilt, I had the tanks dropped and all the fuel lines changed. >> >> In 2014 while waiting to leave a rally I flipped the tank switch and a few moment later the coach stumbled, quit and would not restart. I had the >>...

I had 3 pins put into my S-I joint on the right side to fuse it. The doctor says this will keep the nerves from giving me the constant pain I have been having. They will likely do the left side in 3 months. I am home today but in bed much of the time on pain killers. I have to keep most of the...

The hoses above the tanks include the fuel pick up for the fuel pump. If it is now10 years old it is probably not a barrier hose (which is resistant to the ethanol in the gasoline). It could have cracks that don’t leak gasoline but could allow the fuel pump to suck in air through the cracks...

If I don’t post for a few days it’s because I am going into the hospital at 6:00 am for additional back surgery on my S-I joint. See you all later. Emery Stora

Good memory, Mike. Here is the link to it. http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/g4119-water-heater-door-2f-drain-valve.html http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/g4119-water-heater-door-2f-drain-valve.html Emery Stora > > Netters > > I have seen a small door in the back of the toilet paper...

Peer You don’t always need a new gasket. If the gasket looks OK (no tears or breakouts or burnouts) I would suggest that you coat it both sides with Permatex Ultra Copper RTV and replace it. Torque it to the proper value — its in the maintenance manual. It is important to retorque a manifold a...

I have formatted Randy’s list to make it more easily read and printed and saved it to a pdf file on the GMCmhphotos.com http://gmcmhphotos.com/ site Here is the link: http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/distributors-for-spark-computer-control/p63724-list-of-distributors.html...

Here is an interesting water level sensor gauge which can light LEDs to show water level. It should be easy to adapt this idea to the GMC water tank. http://www.instructables.com/id/Water-Level-Indicator-Using-Magnets/ Floats could be made with closed cell poly foam instead of the authors use...
