Finally picked up my first GMC in Minneapolis off to a pretty slow start. The seller was great, huge help but I have my hands full. All-in-all, a good coach with nice goodies, but in dire need of attention. My goal is to get it to Georgia.
Left airbag has a slow leak and what looks to be a stripped nut.
Onan not working, so I bought a compressor and (another) Honda generator.
Of all things, the wiper blades is what made me stop. Couldn't find a replacement. I managed to fix in the NAPA parking lot in Hudson, WI.
I am trying to make Indianapolis by tomorrow, but with the sagging, lopsided air suspension, watching closely. The right switch function but the left does not, so I've been filling to 80psi. It looks low and Jon confirmed it, suggested 90-100 but I can't find a gas station that goes that high. In the morning (holed up at Walmart in Hudson), I'll fire up the Honda generator and air compressor.
Big thanks to Jon Roche for driving well out of his way just to meet, inspect and educate me on all things GMC. Very helpful.
Any help, suggestions, comic relief is welcome.
