Good Afternoon Matt,Many thanks for the kind, welcoming words.Although this GMC is new to us, we are no strangers to GMC life, as my father had a couple different ones in the 80's and 90's. We were fortunate enough to borrow them and take trips to Florida, Cape Cod, Northern Ontario and other small trips. With this experience and my background with automobile, motorcycle and boat repairs since I was 12, I should be able to keep this coach going with minimal downtime.We are located in Aurora, Ontario and we will keep the coach at our Muskoka cottage for the summers.We purchased the coach as is and it requires some TLC to get it road ready, but we have cottage renovation work that is taking precedence and we will focus on the coach in August.I have not noticed a lot of mechanical upgrades, but it was refurbished inside and out in 2009 and everything is in very good shape. I do know it has a macerator for the the sewage, and new compressor for the suspension, Alcoa wheels and a lot of cosmetic items. I have attached some pictures to see the added items, including the Continental kit, fender flares and windshield visor. As for the starter, it was rebuilt by a local shop that is very reputable and have been around for over 30 years. They did my starter for my 71 VW Dune Buggy and 73 Mustang as well.I will be back under the dash and engine bay this weekend.Cheers!Eric & Christine RoellPS - We use my wife's maiden name on this email account.

Chris,
Welcome to the group, family, cult, asylum.....
First things first...
Do the electrical check out that Jon described. If that comes to nothing, then we need to look further.
A squeal, as you noted, is frequently a symptom of a started not dis-engaging when the engine has started.
It means that the solenoid did not pull the drive back from the ring gear.
- This can be a result of 2 things: The crank signal was still present or the engagement system has failed.
If the start signal to the solenoid was locked on, the engine would have tried to start when the ignition switch was in the RUN position.
If it is the engagement system, then the starter needs help and the squeal was either the sprag clutch on the drive gear or the bearing in the started
screaming.
You say you had it rebuilt....
Was this a store front parts store rebuild exchange?? Or a real rebuilder?
If the former, take it back. Someone that does not care made a mistake.
If it is the later, still take it back and ask the guy what happened.
As said, if you check out the electrics and they are good, the rebuilder guy will know what happened as soon as he has it on a bench.
Now the really important thing. You found you way her and that is very good. What you may not understand is that everybody here has a not so hidden
agenda. That agenda is to see to it that you appreciate both the coach itself and what it can do for you. It is not quite a magic carpet, but it
will be close. It is much more than a big new toy because it is your connection to this community of amazingly supportive and helping people. We all
are eager to make your coach enjoyable.
To this end, please fill in a more complete sigfile. I work the forum and don't know how to do this from the mailing list end. You have a good
start, but if you were to include a geographic reference, that might be a help. This community is so tight, that if you are having a problem that
someone in striking range knows how to handle, you might get hands on help. I have been both sides of this. It is comforting.
We have your name (we like to know who we are helping), and that it is a 76 Glenbrook (Was Roell the restorer?) but please include any significant
mods or upgrades as they may make a difference. Finally, if we know where you are, we know your climate and someone may be close by. Example, if you
were in striking range, I would come by with my spare starter. A started is the only heavy spare I carry.
This community so reminds me of that of the waterment of my own world that I have taken to welcoming new owners that show here with a paraphrase of
the greeting you would get there as a new owner or with a new vessel. So,
May the Good Lord bless this coach and all those that set forth within her.
Welcome Eric and Christine
Matt
