Hello folks,

After a year of unexpected surprises (mostly not good) that kept me from doing ANYTHING on my coach, I am trying to make time to get it on the road again.

A year and a half ago, I had the timing chain replaced after it had slipped a gear. I was able to drive it the 80 miles from the shop to bottom of my driveway where it still sits. Due to altitude (I assume) I was able to pull it at a crawl to the bottom of my driveway. It was unable to make it the last 800 feet in distance and 100 feet in altitude. My home is at 8400' here in the Rockies. I've seen GMCs going over some of the mountain passes, so I know they can do it. I am assuming it is thanks to EFI or a properly jetted carb.

I have not looked at my coach in a year so I am unsure of the current state of affairs with EFI.

What is the current 'best solution' for our coaches? I have a very busy spring and summer ahead of me with a home wedding and new business venture so speed of installation is also a consideration. Anyone want to make a few bucks for installation? Wink

I hope that life settles down a bit so I can be chatting with you all more often now!

Bob
