I have my original 3.07 that I can load up and bring to the Branson rally, if anyone is looking for one to use, or as a core.

What's it worth? I've got no idea. Open to offers in all major currencies.

Just let me know.

Matt

I should provide a few more details. Unit ran great, I just swapped out for a 3.42. My coach has around 71k miles.

Any questions, just holler.

Matt,
You should check with Jim K as he sometimes is looking for a good core. He has a GMC’er in Ohio that builds his final drives for east of Mississippi River. Both He and the rebuilder will be at the summer convention. Don’t expect to make a lot of money for the core.

Matt,
Did you bring your 3.07 final drive? There is someone here in Branson who might be interested.
I'm in spot 147. Let me know if you have it.
Scott.

Is, or has there been, any activities at Branson that might interest the
rest of the GMC Community. I have not seen any posts here on the GMC net
about Branson events. Just wondering?

Not trying to get a facebook/gmcnet argument going. But there are pics on Facebook. However with that said, it looks to be just arrivals yesterday and just getting started today. Just a few pics of coaches lined up at the campground and a couple people loitering around.

Kim does a good job in the past getting pictures up on the gmcmi website, so keep an eye out there. It just started so no pictures up yet there.

I miss my friend dan gregg these days. You could count on his ability to make those of us who cant make the trip feel like we are there. Paul f is doing a good job with facebook. And i cant fault him for using facebook because it takes about 10-15 seconds to publish the picture.

Not to perpetuate the obvious, but, I barely have time to cover what is
happening on GMCnet and do my work, too. My phone handles email and photos
quite well, but balks at Facebook. So I go with the known problems instead
of the ones that I am unfamiliar with. The photo site seems to be common
ground, easily accessible to all. I agree with you about Dan Gregg. And
Arch, and many others. But new enthusiastic faces appear, as us old farts
blow away in the breeze of life. Just how it has always been and will
continue, I suppose. Just an observation, not meant as a complaint or
criticism.

Hi Scott I had to turn today back after 150 miles. Something is going wrong in my fuel delivery. Was able to limp back home but it sounds like exhaust gaskets will also be on the docket.

Sorry I couldn't help. Was really looking forward to my first rally!

The upside is that there are fewer systems that can bite me in the butt each time! Brakes and bearings - Done. Cooling system - Done. Trans - small drip but performs ok for now. Will be going they the fuel system this week.

Disappointed that I'm missing Branson but will target getting the kids out in it soon!

Use remflex exhaust gaskets. You will be happy that you did. JmK has them.
