We're on the road for the next 10 days. I need to get a better handle on these late 78 system. And what parts can be found as to repair, or replacement components for us lonely late 78 owners. Bob Dunahugh

Scott. Our problem is that there just not a lot of 78's out there that were built after Dec of 77.

There's a saying about bringing home the bacon. I had miss piggy everywhere under the GMC, and Linda's Chevy Uplander. Took the exhaust systems off of both. It's common around DeKalb Ill. to hit domestic pigs according to the highway patrol. If an air ride system ever went down. I'd loose a $1000 aluminum ramp. And any way to get Linda, and her power wheelchair even out. I always say it's like Apollo 13 for our GMC. Failure is NOT an option. And our last 78 GMC went 52000 miles, and 38 states. And never left us to the side of the road. This one needs to do the same thing. An with this GMC. It's been 2 Chinese fuel pumps to get off to a bad start.. Bob Dunahugh

I have 4 and 3/4 inches of ground clearance just ahead of my rear tires at best. Thus I can't have any air system that lowers from my maximum ride height. So far I've had no issues in 7 years of hitting anything except a very large Coon, and a pig. Both on interstates in Ill. Bob Dunahugh 78 Royale

I always have my bags turned off by the isolation valves when on the road. I just need to slightly tilt the drive in shower floor to drain. So two compressors, and 2 solenoid valves to low. Bob Dunahugh 78 Royale
