Hey everyone, I just bought a 78 Kingsley and so far I really enjoy it! Just had a couple questions for you all...
First thing I've got to do is oil change, transmission fluid change, and final drive fluid change. Do you all have any luck getting the GMC on ramps or is jacking the front and using jack stands the preferable method? Also when it comes time to do a tire rotation, do you all have any luck getting a local mechanic with a lift large enough to lift the coach? Or should I plan on finding a way to get it on all fours myself? Unfortunately I'm a state or two away from any of the dedicated GMC shops.
Also wondering what your experiences have been with the transmission on these machines. Mine is original and as far as I can tell, no record of any work has been done to it aside from regular filter changes. How worried should that make me? I know those aren't getting any cheaper on these and the coach has ~114,000 miles. I was concerned about the originality of the transmission when buying this one but mostly everything else has been done on it and it has had regular service from a popular GMC service location.
Lastly, I want to be prepared for a potential breakdown situation as we plan to take this thing a long way from home. What is in your toolkit on board that you find essential? I know I'm going to pick up a hook to go on the bottle jack, also thinking of getting a bar in case an air bag fails. Anything else along those lines you all recommend?
Thanks in advance for all the help, I'm really excited to be a part of this community!
