I am just northwest of the twin cities. (St. Cloud)

I do not know those two names above. We suffer from a lack of qualified shops that do work on GMC's. What we do lack in shops up here we have a huge amount of long term GMC owners that have great knowledge and experience. I am fortunate to be able to do my own work and fortunate enough to have that knowledge base to fall back on. If you can I suggest getting involved in the club if you can manage.

I have been around Dave Lenzi's bearings and I feel that is one way to get front end bearings that will out last you. Otherwise borrow a puller and DIY. How many years will it take you to run 30k miles?? Before they are due for service again?

I would tell you to drive it to my place to do bearings, but I am no expert. Comfortable enough to work on my own coach, but do not want to be responsible for your front end.

As far as for drivability. There are too many variables. But there are many experts willing to walk you through some steps. Most issues are ride height and steering box centering related. Next problem I have seen is someone that did not understand the relationship of suspension height doing the wrong adjuatments or installing the wrong parts. We have had some club work rallys checking this, but it is not something the club has been able to do every year.

Send me an email and I can suggest what best
Plan is depending on what you have or have not tried.


Our next club rally is almost a straight shot south of you by sioux falls, sd first weekend in June.
