To Everyone,

I'm still here, waiting to hear from anyone who's still using email! I'm
hoping the "GMCNet" email operation will continue -- at 85 yo, having been
here since about April 1998, I'm not likely to make the move over to the
"modern" alternatives. Simply got too many friends here, many of whom I
haven't yet seen, to abandon hope of staying in contact with them. Just
like my GMC -- I've still "got" the one I bought on 30 Apr 98, even though
my son, Alan, picked it up last week to fix the few little ills its
developed while idle for a couple of years. It may never make it "home"
again, but it will always be "mine". :)

Everyone stay well -- and let's hear from you, if only "Hello".

I’m still with you. Currently up in the NC mountains watching and w
aiting to see what happens with the hurricane but hopefully will miss our Florida home.
I am with you when it comes to social media, as I always felt the email worked well.
Now that the price of fuel is getting more reasonable we hope to get out in the GMC again.
And Ken don’t worry about that 85 year old thing as I will be there with you hopefully in a few months.

I'm still here. Sure do miss the daily load of GMC emails. So easy to save/archive. So easy to reply. Almost always interesting and informative threads.

I've still got my '73 Glacier. Hasn't been on the road much in the last couple of years. The engine fuel & oil problem is well solved, but now it has another fuel delivery problem. I know how to T-shoot and fix - just too much other stuff to take care of.

Although, Ken, if anybody knows, you would -- what is the length of the oil dipstick from the hole behind the exhaust manifold into the pan? My dipstick tube broke off right at the manifold. I have a new one from Jim K., but getting the old one out (whether through the top, or out the drain hole as has been suggested, might turn out to be worse than not having any dipstick at all.

I'm thinking of fab'ing one up as a temporary that is short but long enough to get the oil level at some accuracy.

Glad to know there are still emailers around. There has to be a way to revive it.

You could always completely drain the oil, then refill it with the prescribed amount minus 1 quart. The level you get on any dipstick would be pretty close to the low mark. Add 1 quart, and that should be a pretty close approximation of the high mark

As a bonus, you get an oil change in the bargain.

Hi Ken

I signed back up to email on Sept 15. Yours is the first message I have
received.

Hope you are doing well

Toby,

Just install something you know is a bit long with a compression butt joint somewhere in it, but don’t install the compression ring on the upper section just yet. Do an oil change and pour in your usual amount. Then, shorten that upper section in little bits until the dipstick reading is where you expect it, install the compression ring, and tighten it down. BTDT. Mine broke about half an inch into the block. I stuck it back in and clamped it to the transmission tube with a hose clamp. That worked for a couple of years, and then I installed a replacement, still only half an inch into the block, using the above method. We put in a new tube and a salvaged dipstick when we installed the new motor at Ken’s a few years ago.

Ken,

I’m still here. I don’t have age as an excuse for not using the coach, but I am enjoying my new warm and dry place to work on it. I also have a list, but I missed the hiatus in my travel schedule that Covid brought, so time is again a challenge.

Billy has helped me get logged back into the forum, but even forums are considered passé these days.

I'm with you Ken.  Been here about as long.  Got to admit
There were some here that I don't miss but most all that
hang around are good people.

Glad to see that the list is still working and great to see some old
friends' names pop up.

Hi to all,

I’m new. But I joined immediately after I bought my ‘74 Eleganza SE. Glad
to see some people still use this! Mine is completely stripped out, but
insulated. I flew across the country to buy it and then drove it back
across the country. Broke down 3 times along the way, but got home with
God’s grace and a lot of good strangers. Drove a couple more short trips
and then let it sit for a few months. Now it’s having trouble running.

The dash and fuel gauge never worked (except for the “door open” light, but
now that stopped working as well) so I’m looking for help redoing all
electrical and also an engine tune up. It runs and I know it just needs
some TLC. Does everyone just do it themselves? Or are there any reliable
“go-to” places for hands-on help?

Anyways, if anyone has any leads in the Atlanta, GA area that could help,
please let me know! Or any good diagrams. I’m willing to do the work (have
a construction background, but now I work in the film industry) or I can
pay someone fairly. I just don’t want to get shocked!

Thanks for any help and happy to be part of the GMC community.

Hi Ken,

Hi to everyone else, although I haven't met everyone, I feel
like I know each of you from post over the years!
I know I don't post much any more, however I have always read
your post. I really miss them. I don't see what is so much more "modern"
about the forum. To me the emails are easier and more natural, I know they
don’t link to a topic etc. who cares. Please someone refresh my memory why
the mailing list has been almost non existent lately? What would it take to
fix that.
Any way Great to hear from all of you!

I thought it was interesting to learn that Winnebago now has some National park editions that includes a Canyon Lands RV.

GMC was like Panasonic, just slightly ahead of our time.

Hey all,

still here, and am with Ken. Eventhough I am far away from 85 (well, the distance to 0 *is* longer...), I do prefer email over every forum.

Hope things stay here, and people continue keep it running.

All the best from half way around the world in Germany.

Hey Ken and Email Listers,

Hello from the North of Atlanta gang, Johnny Bridges,
Ricky Bradford and George Zhookoff.

Great to read list activity!

We’re still head’s down working on our coaches.

Travel Safe!
 
To all of you old timers,

While my '76 Glenbrook has been in storage for years, I still enjoy
reading the GMC Digest and hope it continues long past me. Since I lost
my navigator in 2011 I haven't had much desire to travel in the
motorhome alone.

Please keep this going, guys & gals.

I fully understand Norm. My navigator of 61+
years died on Good Friday of this year.

My restoration (bad motor) doesn't seem to rise
to much of a priority.

I think I would like to sell it.
