Jim,
You are thinking of Gregg, Bob lives outside of Conifer, Colorado. He was
told a lot of things that he later found out were false. Bought from a car
lot in New Mexico;-)

O.K. , l think. He needs to study his manual either way. Most of it is in
there. Along with the thumb drive, which should go any place the coach goes.

Jim,
Sorry...must have missed that part of the thread. So, he needs to get home from Mexico...THEN can change the timing set out.

Thanks for all of those showing interest in helping!
Just to clarify a little, I am in Conifer, Co. but I bought my coach in New Mexico. I am not in Mexico but I wish good luck to any GMCer stuck away from home.
I am reading through the manual and plan on giving that section to the mechanic. I asked about changing the chain here because I know that the smarter people here would have tips and tricks to use!
Hopefully this will get me on the road again.
