Engine Rebuilder Score Card
In the twelve years that we have been owners of at least one GMC we have heard from many, many owners about the trials and tribulations associated with replacing the engine in one of these coaches. Some of that discussion has centered on the various methods and/or vendors to do the R & R, but most has centered on finding a reliable, cost effective engine re-builder.
There has been lots of anecdotal comments about experiences with the various re-builders, but not much in the way of objective information. I think it is past time that we the owners create an Engine Rebuilder Score Card of our own so those who face this issue in the future will at least have the benefit of direct experiential input from those who have actually acquired engines from different rebuilders.
I envision this being an unmanaged “rating” service similar to what most of us see on the many commercial web sites that sell products of all kinds. Those who purchase, or who have in the past purchased, an engine from a rebuilder would be free to post their experience without anyone monitoring or policing the posts. As with all such rating systems it would be up to reader to determine how much stake to put into these posts.
Ideally, one of our major vendors, or one of our GMC info gurus with an existing strong web presence, or one of the open GMC Club web sites would set up the means to accomplish this objective. That would provide the best means to insure this information is archived for a long time so new and existing owners alike would have open access to these posts. If none of our major vendors or info gurus or clubs wants to take this on, then for the short run I would be happy to host this information on my web site. Once a quarter my “plan” would be to summarize the postings for inclusion on the GMC Forum, or the photo site, or………
I do not have the knowledge to do this in any sophisticated way, so it would be email for the input and I would transfer that to some kind of a score card on a page in my web site.
Let me know your thoughts and if you think this would be a valuable service to our community. Speak loudly if you have the means and interest to do this on a more GMC centric web site!
