Best laid plans, page six, epilog……….Funny how good hindsight is.
Normally when I go to retrieve a GMC I drive a towed and have room for
all my special GMC tools. This time I was flying in and with the
restrictions on baggage I had to cut way back on tools. A lot of time
was wasted looking for Home Depot, Harbor Freight, Walmart, Ace
Hardware and like that. Maybe I would have been better off to pay for
extra baggage. The other thing is I should have had a look for my
self. Round trip tickets are cheap purchased ahead of time. Go take a
real-time look at everything. As for the tires, they never gave me a
bit of trouble. I have a set of Alcoas and tires ready to go on this
coach once I got it back here. That was why I “ rolled the dice”.
Otherwise I would have had the new owner make arrangements to pick
some up along the way. As for this gas tank problem, this is getting
to be pretty common with the gas we have now and how old our coaches
are getting to be. I am going to start looking for a 20 gallon fuel
bladder that I can roll up and take along. The spark plugs were set at
0.065 which brings me to believe that it has been a long time between
tune-ups. Now to the sixty four thousand dollar question. Why??
Several times the owner tried to get me to put the GMC in storage and
fly home. Not a chance. I was already there and we might as well get
this job done. Just that simple. Besides, I have got some great
stories to tell at the next GMC rally…………Terry
