Thanks for the info John,
On installing the new Filter (It's called a Filter, on the Box),I found
another ,O Ring still in the hole the Filter goes in.
The PO said he replaced the Transmission.
You have to push the filter all the way in ,to get the Cover back on.
When I put the cover back on ,I positioned the stick on Magnet, on the cover
directly below the pick up tube..

The trans pan pushes the pick-up screen (some refer to it as a filter) into
the transmission. I am told that many times the pick-up is not pushed up
all the way to seat. So that's why it is recommended to stack the o rings
so that the pick-up will seal into the transmission.

Yesterday afternoon we had a rain of near biblical proportions (up to four inches in about two hours in some local areas). This was the first time I had been inside our GMC during a serious rain. While insulating the rear cap (we have most of the interior out... including the inside skin) I noticed quite a bit of rain running in through the aluminum track that runs the length of the coach on the inside just above the windows. This is the track that the wiring harness runs in and is covered by a plastic cap about three and a half inches wide. I did notice leaks under some of the windows... I'm working on that, but the amount running in through the track was really bad.
 
Our coach (a '73) does not have an outside gutter. Rather, it has what looks to be a cap that runs the length of the coach and seems to be held in place by screws set every 12 inches or so. My question is this.. given how bad it seemed to be leaking, should I remove this cap and seal under it? The po had sealed it part way down the length on the top side with white bath tub caulking. I'm thinking that won't be enough. Any suggestions?
Soggy in Illinois,
