Me again,
So, I remember speaking with Ken Frey of Quakertown, PA and I think I recall him mentioning that you could put Hummer ball joints on our coaches. It would take some drilling to fit the larger bolts of the ball joints but it sounded minor.
Has anyone tried upgrading their ball joints with the Hummer version or any other for that matter?
What was the process for installation and would you have any part numbers?
Thanks.

Hmmm which hummer? H1 or H2? The H1 is in the same weight class as our rigs so it might make sense that it could be modified....

That would be the H1, sorry, should have specified. Wasn't thinking.
I also know that our later Revcon's, know as the slant nose, can upgrade to
the H1 lower ball joint.
I'm wondering if the set up can be modified to make the H1 ball joint work.

G'day again,
I don't know why the second link doesn't take you to the Toronado lower ball
joint.
I've just tried twice again and it doesn't work, sorry.
You'll have to do the search yourself.

I lothe the NAPA site, I keep having to select a store and it runs me around in circles.

Try looking up an H2. I know an H3 will not fit as it is the same as my Colorado.

The NAPA site used to be real good and full of valuable information.
The they made it "easy to use".
So, if you are not looking for a part for a vehicle on their list (GMC motorhome is not) you are stuck.
Even if you have a GMC part number, you may not find it. When you do, it may list that same part number as a cross.
Don't ya jest luv it.
