Subject: [GMCnet] Free Radiatior internal camera inspection, with radiator/cap pressure test.

Subject line more appropriate.

Looking into doing this at the GMCMI Tucson Rally. If this works well. Maybe this could be added to future GMCMI rallies, and
regional club rallies. I think this is a bigger problem then thought.

I had mentioned this to Kim this morning. We're not taking anything big apart. Drain fluids onto a pan. Do the camera
inspection. Pressure test radiator, and cap. Put the antifreeze back in. There's just nothing to dispose of. If owners want to
change their antifreeze at the same time. They can bring new antifreeze and distilled water. Then put that used antifreeze into
those then empty containers. Thus nothing to dispose of at the rally site. I can find a place to recycle in the area as needed. Alex
might be there to fix steering issue. There have also been weigh ins, headlight alignments, and many other tech sessions to make
your GMC safer.
This internet site is a fantastic GMC info site. And I think that's it's major intention. Be very nice if GMCMI rallies with
it's tech sessions, and regional club with their tech sessions be listed here at times. We're near the 6 Wheelers. If their rallies
were mentioned here. Linda, and I would more then likely go. Any input? Bob Dunahugh

Pete. That's a good idea. The owner could just bring new antifreeze. Flush, and then put the new antifreeze in. Have to find out
what's the best way to dispose the old antifreeze there. We'd also have to have a pre event registration list to know what to be
prepared for. Bob Dunahugh

Mike K. Thanks. I think this is more of a problem then is generally thought. I pull higher GVW's more then most. And never had any
add on items installed on our 403 GMC. Radiator inspections on attendees GMC's. Might make for a good tech session at the GMCMI
rally in Tucson. Line them up, and start checking with my inspection camera. Drain pan, funnel, and the camera. At a cost of FREE.
Good idea, or not. Any input out there? Bob Dunahugh
