    Protecting subfloor from water damage

    Yes, there is a crack along the floor at the bottom of the wheel liner. Use a polyurethane sealant that you can buy from Home Depot. It used to be PL but they were bought out by another company It comes in different colors. I used the black. Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick, CO > > Hi...

    Electric Conversion ?

    Engine Timing Chain Test.

    No they aren’t. That is usually an engine that when it loses the drive belt to the camshaft it allows the valves to drip and punch holes in the pistons. That doesn’t happen with the Olds 455 or 403. Youusually worry about that on small import engines. Emery Stora > > Are these engines an...

    Engine misses on acceleration

    Engine misses on acceleration

    When I was looking for some of the heat conductive grease last fall most auto parts stores didn’t know what it was. NAPA tried to sell me dielectric grease and insisted it was the same thing. I told them it wasn’t and left the store. On the Internet the only place I could find it was at...

    Ok boys I need a transmission

    Keith I just had Manny ship a transmission from his place in San Jose to a transmission shop in Brownwood Tx. I drove my GeoTracker 850 miles back to my home by Denver. I just drove back to Brownwood today and picked it up. All is fine. We’ll start back to home with the GMC towing the Tracker...

    brackets

    I am traveling and don’t have access to a manual right now. There is a good chance that the other brackets might be fan shroud brackets. There is also a small bracket for the rear of the alternator. Be sure to use the bushing between the bracket and the head. It’s about 3/4” thick. Without it...

    Keys

    We had a member, Joe Ekyl, that knew everything about GMC keys. He used to come to all our conventions and could cut keys there for anyone. He died this last year. His family might have some of his records which I am sure would show a listing of all keys for any GMC model. You might contact his...

    Assorted brake system questions (REVCON)

    The GMC nor the Toro did not use a proportioning valve. It is called a combination valve and it’s main purpose is to shut of either the front or the rear in the case of a leak so that you still have some braking. It also puts a small amount of pressure to the rears slightly before the fronts but...

    Trip Repport (in segments)

    Ken I don’t think I anyone is expecting 4 tires to apply more retarding force to the road than can 6 tires. If one is braking properly in he same distance, they should use exactly the same amount of retarding force. We should not be concerned with the maximum retarding force. As long as there...

    Trip Report (in segments).

    Well, Jim — I am not comparing TSM brakes to the Auguer system or to the Manny system. I am comparing Dave Lenzi’s system to previous systems I have used. I have never used the reaction arm system so I cannot address that. It doesn’t sound like you have ever tested the Lenzi system so you also...

    Trip Report (in segments).

    Ken With Lenzi’s system on my mid axle and no brakes on the third axle I have fantastic braking even when pulling a toad and driving in the mountains. Since everyone has said that the rear axle gives very little braking I thought I’d try using no brakes there. And, of course, I cannot slide or...
