    FMCA PerryGA

    Over the years we’ve been to many FMCA rallies. The first was at Centerville Michigan, I believe in 1974. Others were Sioux Falls, Pomona(twice), Perry (twice), Los Cruses, Sacramento, and some others. However we haven’t gone in over ten years. We are looking forward to going again Emery Stora...

    Request from a newbie

    Bob Donahugh does meticulous work. He has made several great upgrades on that coach and the price seems really good (read that as low) for all that he has done including all new appliances, suspension, engine, etc. That rear bed setup is what is called a gaucho bed and looks like a very...

    Winterizing a GM interior GMC. No water heater shut off valve?

    I have been doing it your way for the 37 years I have owned the GMC. Prior to this I used to blow out the lines with air in my Dodge Travco but once had a copper line rupture from freezing of a low spot in the line where water collected and the air just blew past it. I winterize using one...

    Coach in Distress

    Dick Patterson distributors have a spade lug on the bottom to which you can plug a ground wire. You can easily make this by drilling a hole down from the top and either tapping it or using a self tapping screw from the bottom. Another way to ground it is to get to the internal wiring harness in...

    Bill Bramlett status

    I saw Bill at the hospital this noon and he is doing extremely well. He says he’s in no pain but I found that he is taking Percocet and Tylonol so that is likely keeping pain to a minimum. They operated Wednesday at 11am. They put in a new ball and socket in his hip. The ball had broken from...

    1970...is this worth looking at?

    No, the 425 is go front wheel drive so it was used in the Tornados. The motorhome ones had an additional disk in the clutch packs. Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick, CO > > I thought the Toro’s had 400 trannies and that the 425 was specific to our GMC’s! > Mike/The Corvair a holic > > Sent...

    YES. The roof can leak water at the sides.

    Bob Where was it leaking inside? You are right that it shouldn’t leak or if it does it will not drip inside by the leak as there is an internal gutter. However, it can run to the ends of the gutter and leak at the ends. ALSO - when they foam the insulation in place I have seen where they got...

    1970...is this worth looking at?

    I wouldn’t even look at it for $850. All you would really want is the motor and transmission. Possibly worth $500 or less. Emery > > https://www.usedvictoria.com/classified-ad/Rare-Opportunity-Parts-Car_32532627 > > _______________________________________________ > GMCnet mailing list >...

    DOT 5.1 brake fluid

    I have always been interested in newer specifications regarding brake fluid. I appreciate the high boiling point especially the wet boiling point. The main difference between DOT 3, 4 and 5.1 is a different ratio of glycol and borate ester and the amount of other additives. Borate esters added...

    Michigan GMC at Mich/Mich St game

    I was watching the game on TV and they showed some tailgaters in the parking lot at East Lansing and showed a good looking GMC with a Michigan tire cover and side paint. Looked good. Who owns it? Very disappointed that Fox tv cut the game after the halftime and put on Colorado U versus...

    Dash A/C help

    Bob I too made a cover for the outside air intake on the top passenger side of the heater box. But, I leave it on all the time. In the winter you have to heat that outside air. So I don’t need outside air circulation. There are enough small air leaks anyway so there is an outside source of air...
