Vintage RV & Motorhome restorations - "The GMC Coop"

You are here: Home / The Daily Pose / My guess is….from the other side of this screen, it may be frustrating when you pull up here and….butkis, nothing new!

August 23, 2020

My guess is….from the other side of this screen, it may be frustrating when you pull up here and….butkis, nothing new!

………. In fact I DO note it because it also disappoints me too.  When I don’t post its usually due to a couple of things.  First of all I’m out of sequence…….see I need to use this to clear my thoughts, communicate to customers, show some of the new ideas and technologies but it’s usually messed up by too much stuff all at the same time.

With everything around us thrown upside down one thing many of us use to help ground us is “stay with the routine”.  Heck, Eleganza does that…….She somehow known the day and can’t wait when I get up for her ride out to the canal where she chases lizards on the wood fence.

If I don’t post believe me I feel it too.  Some have confided with me that most mornings start out with with the Heck have I screwed up THIS time!

Ok, we don’t mess things up when we’re all on the same page, what it means is we’ve figured out another lesson in what NOT to do.  We all learn that way, you seldom intentionally repeat negative results…..at least on purpose.

Such has the discovery on getting into this century with fuel injection.  It’s been a struggle from the realization that our new fuel formulations are not kind to carberatprs.  Then we risk getting sucked into another seemingly black hole of bringing out brochure big blocks into this new century too.

From the first system installed into Janie and my coach JayGee I know you’ve heard the saying “The plumbers pipes leak” well after living at the shop staying in JayGee, he had to come in for some cleaning and fixing and one of the important things was to retune this first FiTech install to what we now know starting with different initial setups to this latest washer trimming in production fix.

The cool thing is with what Jason and the guys have learned ….remember that learning in the field stuff…..these new systems are designed to be updated by changing the setup parameters.  It’s not like something you have to take a test for and it is only adjusted once……from there the computer does it alland using the touch screen on my dash in the top left you can read the main readout Jason is using to reset this first install.  It still fires up like it did before but it sound more sure…..it that’s a thing.  There are 2 adjuster screws that tweak the system to the motor we could watch the numbers and actually see as the loose timing chain was making the computer to work extra hard.   Yep, I too need a double roller timing chain.  Gimme another wooden “roundtuit” to remember to do that!

Anyway, yes JayGee had a water leak at least I hope so….. We’ll find out tonight probably. So with freshly shampooed carpets with out cool new industrial 5 Star brand shampoo machinethis commercial cleaner will come in handy cleaning up coaches for presentation.  That’s the engine cover panel the area on the right of the orange tape is clean the left side dirty.  Can’t believe I was living on that jungle!

See, our flagship still sports his God given On an generator

but make no mistake, we’ve had a good ole Southern Baptist prayer meeting about making AC power and if the Ye Ole Troll misses a beat he’ll be over here telling war stories at the old part resthomethere with the other On an generators and steel fuel tanks…….

I healed the weeks war wounds over with Janie care giving her Mom Mary..This is a rare moment them removing their masks so I could see their beautiful smiles…….  I’m here, she’s there and oops there goes another another rubber tree plant 🏝 times are as they are and all……went out and snapped a picture across the street, no spaces to park and that truck can barely get back to the back……please call before you come…….

See ya Monday…..here we go again, strap in….Yes, we read the instruction sheet!…
