Thank you for having me on the forum. I've searched the forum topics for this and didn't come up with anything so I figured it would be a safe post.
About a year ago I purchased a 1973 23' Sequoia. What a project. 60 miles into the trip it needed a engine. The shop took me for a ride and charged me about 6 grand to much on repairs. Stole parts, over charged me for work not done correctly, and it barely made it home from CA. However my outlook is much better these days.
I've done countless (I mean countless!) things to this machine and currently its getting a new spindle, front bearings, steering box corrected and such which I have a great feeling about that its going to be done correctly. However they only do suspension work and no other mechanic work.
However after a massive amount of money and getting burned by nearly everyone I really need to find a good mechanic shop in Phoenix, Casa Grande, or Tucson. Don't care which city its in as long as its a really good mechanic.
I need to have my dash AC worked on, and I can't risk bringing it to another rip off shop that. I know how horrible the dash ac works but I still want to get it fixed.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!! If I can find a shop I plan on keeping them busy. I'd like to add rear sway bars, steering upgrades, like new cruise control (mine doesn't work) and more. Can't wait to get all that done, then its new flooring, solar, and 6v batteries.

Michael,
I live in Marana and have a mechanic that I use in Tucson. He is honest and, for the most part, does a good job. I think that, from my experience though, the best bet is to get the coach to one of the shops that specializes in GMCs like Applied GMC in Fremont, CA. It is not cheap but they know the coach inside and out and will fix it correctly. Most mechanics don't know enough about the systems in the GMC and can't possibly keep up with all of the knowledge that is still being developed about it.

Hey another AZ GMC! Great to meet you!

I use Jerry Brown in Tucson for my generator work and I will probably try Chucks Speed Shop in Phoenix when I need something like hubs/knuckles swapped out. I've corresponded with him before and he seems very familiar with the GMC's.

However, I have not used him yet, nor seen his shop in person.

http://www.chucksspeedcenter.com/

I'm hoping we can get a bunch of the local GMC's to swamp the party at the cruise nights every Saturday night at Scottsdale Pavilions (101/Indian Bend)http://www.rockandrollcarshow.com/

Let's stay in touch via PM and see if we can put something together some Sat. night

Michael,
You might want to skip the sway bars and install a QuadraBag setup. It is
the ultimate addition to a GMC for ride control.
Join a club. It is your best source of information for repairs or having
them done.

Michael,

Welcome to the group! You are right about the dash air being "horrible" but there is a fix (I understand.) It's not stock, but the add-on A/C units, such as these from Jim K <http://www.appliedgmc.com/level.itml/icOid/944> will blow ice cubes - even in Arizona!

Good luck and keep us posted.

First I'd like to thank you all for the friendly welcome. There are forums that aren't so "welcoming" to new comers of course they are on other forum topics.
I'm thinking about joining a club. My wife and I are in our 30s and really have limited free time. With two kids, a business we own, and lifes hectic problems when we get to play its rare!
We really love our GMC however. I've poured more heart into this then anyother mechanical device I've owned to date. I'm not mechanical at all, but I tell you this machine is changing that. I've never had a "busted knuckle" before having to work on anything but I've had tons of them since owning my gmc. Tons of mods upgrades/repairs and heartache but its worth it. We love our GMC and its almost where I need it to be to feel confident for any road trips. Safety is my main concern traveling with a 6 year old, and 3 year old.
Currently its getting new spindle, bearings and wheel alignment.
Next I have a drip in my rebuilt carb that a friend will fix. I have two water leaks that I can easily fix when it gets back from the shop. I need a vented gas cap. After that I think shes road ready for anything.
On the AC I called applied and spoke to Jim. But I cant afford several thousand for a upgraded dash AC. I bought vents (and upgraded trans cooler from Jim so far) for the fenders, Im insulating the engine and more. But I want the ac to work even if its just to say it works for my head. Maybe upgrading it down the road will be something Ill do. But getting it working is a must.
So I still need to find a mechanic shop in AZ that will be able to do it without over charging me and not getting it fixed correctly.
I still need any suggestions on a mechanic shop. Not overly concerned about cost but several grand for upgraded ac is currently not in the budget.

Welcome to the zoo! We're all really glad to see young folks like y'all
come aboard to carry on the traditions.

Here's where you need to start on the air conditioner:

http://www.gmcws.org/Tech/air_conditioning/air_conditing.html

<http://www.gmcws.org/Tech/air_conditioning/air_conditing.html>The diagrams
and explanations there will enable you to improve the air flow and cooling.

More recently we've begun to replace the refrigerant in the system with
"Duracool" or "HC-12A", which are the same hydrocarbon compound. It is a
more efficient coolant than the nearly-gone R-12 and MUCH more efficient
than the replacement R-134a. If you search
http://groups.google.com/group/gmcnet-archive for Duracool you should find
plenty of information on how to obtain it, install it, and how much to use.

The dash a/c can be made to operate reasonably well without spending much
money. Even my total dash and a/c replacement didn't cost nearly $1000 --
but I did it all myself.

I have a mechanic friend in Tucson that is also an RVer. I wouldn't call him a GMC expert, but he has worked on them before, including mine on occasion. He is old enough to be familiar with our vintage vehicles (56 or 57) and has a son (33 or 34) who is a wiz at all things mechanical and is especially gifted when it comes to electrical stuff and fabrication. The shop is called Calypso Automotive and is located at 3419 E Kleindale Rd. in the North central part of Tucson. Their rates are on the high end side for a private garage at, I think, $100.00 per hour, but they do honest work and do things right.

I happen to be pretty mechanically inclined so I do most of the work on my coach myself, but I do have Ron and Jim work on it on occasion as well as use them for repairs to my company trucks as well as mu personal vehicles.

Good luck with your Motorhome and have fun using it. When we bought ours in July of '08, we were encouraged to join a club, we are members of the GMC Saguaro Jetset, GMC Western States, and GMC Motorhomes International. We enjoy attending rallies and they give us an excuse to get out and use the coach on a regular basis. The best part is the people. You will be welcomed and receive all the help you might need just for the asking. The Saguaro Jetset is going to have our next rally at Amado AZ, south of Tucson, on I-19, toward Nogales. Here is some info: http://www.gmcsj.com/?p=215 Please consider coming if you can.

Thank you Carl for the heads up, I'll give him a call. I mainly just want to make sure Im not going to another rip off shop. Im sick of paying for repairs that dont work. Ive done alot of stuff myself. The good thing about doing it myself I'm very detailed and want things to be done better then someone with no vested interest.
Ken the info you provided is awesome. I've worked on many things myself but ac I'm just not sure I'd have the time needed to learn to do myself. However I'm dedicated to getting this machine 100%
I may call that speed shop or the place in tucson. Im sure calls are free to them so what do I have to loose. I have tons of little things I need to do.
Get windows re-gasketed (if thats a word!) I recently added a dual stage LP regulator that seemed to have way more pressure then my old single stage and flames shot out of the friges burner compartment. I need to find a place to get my front seats back to the comfort I deserve (lol)
I have to fix the drip in my carb, fix a plumbing leak, fix a toilet valve leak, put in hardwood floors (I hate the carpet it gets dirty), insulate the engine, install the fender vents, add the second trans cooler, get a spare 16" tire....thats the short list! Oh I forgot.
My motorhome doesnt start every so often. A shop put in a new ign switch but that didnt solve it. If I hit the wheel and turn the key it starts right but. But sometimes it just wont start. Assys turn on, but no start. Wack the wheel and bam its up and running. Ive invested $15,000-$18,000 + in repairs so far and knuckled alot of it myself. But this 73 is starting to say thank you for the TLC and is starting to breath life in again.
It would be fun maybe to meet other GMCers cause Im pretty proud to get it to this point and networking with other gmcers Im sure will help me alot!
On a personal note Steven F. Thank you for your help via email. I'll let you know but the suspension guys we discussed via email really honestly seem to be treating me right. I'll keep you posted however. They have been nothing but helpful and thoughtful to me so far...

MrRadioActive,

The AC mods you need will be something you will need to present detailed information on, to any shop you choose to use (besides one of the GMC specialists). If you want to get the most out of your existing system, you will need to search the photo site and GMC information site and do the research for the mechanic. If he doesn't fully understand the nature of the problem (air flow) he won't have a clue where to start.

for Duracool you should find

or here
http://gmcmotorhome.info/heat.html#duracool

and here

http://gmcmotorhome.info/heat.html


and remember, it is up to you to be responsible for the repairs on your own
coach. You need to know what to ask for and what to expect from a vendor or
a facility.

so

read the literature and good luck

Well the current issue isnt with rate of cool flow, its no flow! The AC system totally isn't working. The dryer isnt even installed (i think thats the only missing part) But it prob hasnt worked in 20 years. Ill address making it better after I atleast get it working. So I need to find a shop that knows AC and can get mine working.

Michael,

I don't know if this has any value for you, since it addresses late style windows, but JimBounds hasa great write up about replacing the window rubbers <http://gmccoop.com/new_page_9.htm>

Give him a call. He's a terrific help.

I found http://www.centuryautoair.com in tucson az. On their site it mentions old GM products. Doesnt mention motorhomes, but looks promising. Alls they do it ac work. Looks like a nice site. I sent them a email and if it works out Ill let everyone know. It will be nice to have a for sure place to go to for ac work in southern az.

If I were looking for a quality AC and general mechanic in the Phoenix area I would contact Bob deK for input. He has not posted recently but Randy or Chris probably have his contact info.

Bruce Tara and I have used "Choice Transmission" in Gilbert, AZ. They do all auto repairs not just transmissions. Jason Halby is the owner/manager and understands the special needs of our GMC's. Tell him the way you want something done and that's the way he will do it! (How rare is that!)

I really need to find a good mechanic shop in Phoenix, Casa Grande, or Tucson. Don't care which city its in as long as its a really good mechanic.
I need to have my dash AC worked on, and I can't risk bringing it to another rip off shop that. I know how horrible the dash ac works but I still want to get it fixed.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!! If I can find a shop I plan on keeping them busy. I'd like to add rear sway bars, steering upgrades, like new cruise control (mine doesn't work) and more. Can't wait to get all that done, then its new flooring, solar, and 6v batteries.

If I use ZDDP in a new car - will the tappets go flat?
