I don't know if you have found this list or someone has pointed you to it. I suggest you take a look and print it out.
I had it when looking for my coach relied my "mechanical expertise" and didn't follow through on the list.

thanks, I posted that one in the sanbox thread "Advice on buying my first GMC coach?" its better than nothing but not real specific.

be great to have a more comprehensive one written by someone like Jim Bounds or something. but yeah, one could easily spend a whole day going over everything and then if they decide not to buy for whatever reason its a pretty big waste of time for both parties.

reading Jim B's blog, he wrote that pretty much all the manifolds are cracked and its very rare for one not to have a crack. I guess just figure that into the plan unless its got a documented repair or that high dollar, aftermarket, aluminum one. or just be ready to do that when the crack spreads enough to be a problem.

I guess if the crack is not big enough to be, the block off plates would help keep it from spreading to that point?
