Paul,

I guess you bought the coach in Savannah?
Welcome to the group, family, cult, asylum...

You can download a complete parts book at Bdub's http://www.bdub.net/GMCLinks.html.
Better than that, ask specifically if someone has one to spare (brake cable describes 3 different parts) and there are many that have them lying around as they have traded off to disk and can no longer use them.

You are now a part of wonderful community of helping friends. To this end, go to the Control Panel/ Account settings and built a sigfile that has your name (so we know who you really are when we meet), a short bit about your coach (there are differences between models/years) and a geographic reference (so a potential helper knows if he is in striking range).

Also as said, this is a community that enjoys helping other owners. It is so much like that of the watermen that were my world, I like to welcome new people here much as a new owner or vessel would be welcomed there. So,

May the Good Lord bless this coach and all those that set forth within her.

Welcome Paul

Matt

Applied has them at the bottom of this page:

You should check the recent postings about the mods to the brake cables, at least I think they were recent Rolling Eyes They can add quite a bit of braking power if adjusted correctly, but still will probably not lock the rear wheels if your moving. The mods WILL make it hold on a hill, though, and that can be really useful.
