    frame pads

    When replacing mine, I put some Liquid Nails on each side of the pad. That lubricated them some and made it easier to tap them in place. I then used a self drilling screw to anchor the pad to the aluminum strap above the pad. Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick, CO > > I drove my coach up on...

    Junction box

    There really isn’t a box. You have a 1976 so if you remove your converter (charger) located in the closet across from the side bath there is a opening on the back wall of the closet. On the outside wall of the motorhome there is a stud mounted to the frame which is where the ground to the frame...

    16" wheels.

    Tom When I installed 80 mm front calipers many years back I had to grind about 1/16” from a corner of the caliper. Apparently there are small differences in the castings. Most of the people installing 80mm calipers back then had to grind a little off the casting with their Alcoa’s. So the advice...

    was can I shoot the PPO, now top swap

    When I removed my engine with a trolley I did not remove the front seats, nor the dinette seats nor the couch. I draped plastic sheets over everything to keep any grease or dirt off and also laid sheets over the carpet. I had plenty of room for the engine and saved a lot of time by not having...

About a month ago I posted an email asking if any other GMCers would be there and asked if anyone wanted to park together. I got no replies. I figured that either no one else was going or that no one wanted to...

    16" wheels.

    When I changed from 16-1/2” to 16” wheels my speedometer was only 1 or 2 mph off. When I went to a 3.55-1 final drive I got an in line speedometer correction device that put my speed right on. Emery Stora > > 16" wheels with the 225 series 16" tires will give you almost identical rolling...

    house electrical

    It is a 1 gauge wire. It runs from the area near the rear battery inside the driver’s side wall to the front and then down along the front frame across to the area of the front battery. The insulation eventually goes bad and flakes off. It will be quite a job getting it out of the sidewall...

    Use of Carb at high elevation

    At higher elevations there is less oxygen so carbs set up for lower elevations will run rich at higher elevations with resulting lack of power. If one was to begin operating at a constant higher elevation the carb jets should be replaced to maintain the proper air/fuel ratio. However if you are...
