Appie,

We won't have work clothes or tools but if your GMC is in Amsterdam when the group below is we could give it a once over and make
enough suggestions / recommendations that you should / could do to your GMC; I reckon we could keep YOU busy for YEARS! ;-)

Thanks James and Rob. I am thinking about having an SOOR sometime this
summer, so wanted to know what dates to plan around. Don't know for sure
if I will host an SOOR; just depends on how much work I have to do when I
arrive at our Oregon summer home sometime towards the end of May.

Jim Hupy and I along with our mistresses are on the same River Cruise as Rob and several more GMC owners. After Amsterdam we going to Romania for a
week then to Copenhagen to board a Holland America Cruise with first stop in Bergen, Norway - there on Wednesday Sept 9th from 8am to 6pm.
Possibly????? meet.

Best regards
Dwayne and Sharon Jacobson

Dwayne and Jim,
The MAN B&W (Burmiester & Wain) plant was in Christianhavn, that is across the river from Kobenhaven. If you can find a tour of that plant, it would have to be interesting. That was where they first produced the KF98 (1m bore - 2m stroke) engines. That does not happen there anymore, but they just might be doing something fun. Did you ever see a piston ring you couldn't lift? (I did, there, but it was 40+ years ago)

Everybody I know that has done one of those river cruises has had a great time.

Hey, Dwayne, Jim, &???,

Deo called a few days ago to tell me one of the registrants for the river
cruise had to cancel -- so Elaine and I have signed up to join you!

We'd been discussing the possibility of such a trip for a couple of years;
getting to combine a visit with GMCers was the additional impetus I needed.
:-)

This is the wrong way to do it but it can be roughed in on coach. You can't really set the input torque but you can set the on center preload if it's that bad and make it drivable. Not condoned. Engine on and box on center rock the steering shaft 11-1 o'clock and watch for Pitman arm delay of response to movement. Un jam the jam nut and tighten the Allen 1/8 turn at a time till the delayed movement is gone. Back it off till you are at just at the no delay point and tighten the jam nut. It is very easy to over tighten allen and ruin the box. Pull the box when you get home and do it by the book. Again I never told you this.

Even though this is a politically incorrect method, if you are carefull and move in small steps, I still think this will fix at least half of the complaints out there. Also, make sure that when you tighten the jamb nut, the screw does not turn.
