When in college I had a battery that was going bad and it would not start the car on very cold days. It would start fine on warmer days. I could not afford to replace the battery. So my solution was to boil a pan of water on the stove and then go outside and slowly pour the water over the...

We are going to the Perry rally. Are any other GMCers going? Any interest in parking together? Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick, CO

I would suggest that you allow Dolph to finish his response on behalf of GMC owners. Too many responses might just cause them to ignore them all. Emery Stora > > I would like to suggest a letter writing campaign to FMCA. They always publish feedback to their articles, and if they get enough...

We should ask FMCA to let us write an article correcting some things in that article that give an uncalled for impression of the GMC. Emery Stora > > I just talked to Jerry Work, the FMCA liaison for GMCI. He had heard a little about the article but hadn't seen it yet. He said he would look...

Ray The valve that you posted is a 24 volt valve. Does that work on 12 volts? I see there are other make on Amazon for 12 volts. Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick, CO > > Now that's a find. Lots of other places one could be used-not necessarily in a GMC. > > Hal > > >> We have a 78...

I would suggest that you not do that. If your front starting battery goes bad you will be stranded. With the two battery banks you can always get a boost to start the engine from the rear battery bank. If your alternator goes out the front battery will likely not be charged. You can run the Onan...

I think that we should all stop whatever we are doing and go fishing. Then we could do all the upgrades and repairs to our GMCs. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/bluefin-goes-3-million-1st-2019-sale-tokyo-market-n955101...

Johnny You should match the flare on the tube with the flare used in the fitting. There are two basic types of flares used on OEM automotive brake systems throughout the world. The SAE/double (inverted/45degree) flare and the DIN/ISO bubble flare. We will refer to them as SAE or DIN flare. The...

You are right, Gene 6000 miles is not much on fan belts. They should probably last for 30,000 or more. However if he doesn’t put on many miles a year they would age out first. Emery Stora > > Why ? > If it’s not broke don’t fix it !!! > > On Sun, Dec 30, 2018 at 12:38 PM Emery Stora via...

I don’t know of any tech session but it pretty straight forward. Check the maintenance manual. I think there are instructions there. Take off the wire on the stud and unplug the other wires. Take out the bolt from the lower front of the alternator and from the lower back. Remove the belt...

Why are you pulling out the seats, dinette and bunks out for engine replacement? Are you using a track that lifts the engine and slides it back to opposite the door? It isn’t necessary to remove seats and other things to do this. Emery Stora > > While we're on the subject, I'm about to...

Thanks, Jim. I was about to post something similar. I have had different fuel injections on my GMC since 1993. It did not solve vapor lock problems until I put in the in-tank fuel pumps. Even now, with the ethanol laced gasoline there could be temperature and altitude conditions that could...

I think he made a mistake using synthetic ATF instead of an oil based ATF. He said the acetone did not mix well. Some of the other products were oil based products. I think that regular ATF (or just plain kerosene (which is the base stock for regular ATF would have performed better. Emery Stora...

However I’ve had a Howell system for many years (over 15) and I’ve never needed a spare part for it. It is very reliable. I’ve needed a module and a rotor for the distributor but that really wasn’t part of the Howell setup. Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick, CO > > The last statement is...

We will also miss Don. He was a great guy. A couple of years ago he picked up a chest of drawers for us in Ohio and dropped them off at my parents in Michigan so we could pick it up when we got there a couple of weeks later. He probably drove more than a hundred miles out of his way that time...

I would NOT try JBWeld or other epoxy as a propane tank has over 200 psi of pressure and on a hot day can exceed 300 psi. Welding seems to be the best solution but once a friend of mine had a pinhole leak in a weld. He took it to a place to be welded but Instead they sent a guy out with a...
