new owner questions

[robert mueller]

Andrew,

Hate to tell you but AFAIK nowadays they are all made in China! If you monitor eBay you might get lucky and find one of these:

However, if you bought it from Sirum hopefully he will have checked it.

Review this sequence of photos for additional information:

When you remove the old filter check and make sure there are no o-rings up inside the port the filter goes in.

Hey all, sorry I've been swamped with work and haven't had time to write back. I can't believe the community you guys have here, I
really appreciate the warm welcome and all the great info! I feel a lot better equipped to handle my first few items on the to do
list. I'm going to attempt the fluid changes this week hopefully as I've got some time off, I'll let you all know how it goes. Also
I feel a lot better about the transmission now... Might
add an external cooler myself on of these days. Thankfully the PO put a huge radiator in a couple years back, hopefully that helps
her far into the future.

As far as the trans filter, I bought one directly from Sirum down in Florida. I'm assuming he wouldn't sell the chinese kind right?
How do I tell?

Andrew
Thank you for adding your signature file with location...now can I twist
your arm to give John Shotwell of thee Registry your TZE number ?
And while I'm at it, have you signed up for the Black List. You don't have
to be an expert in anything, but a friendly voice at the end of the
phone...you are friendly aren't you...goes a long way in helping a stranded
GMCer !

Thanks

Mike in NS

If you're heading to California to look at coaches - and if a 23' is an option - take a look at Chuck Bott's coach...

I'll be sure to do that soon! Not many owners (at least on the list) in my area so I'm happy to be of service if I can!
