Vintage RV & Motorhome restorations - "The GMC Coop"

The Co-op: i have a way of polarizong people………

Guys, its not my fault.  I usually don’t say much on Facebook until bad information comes out or folks could get hurt doing some of the things people recommend.

I sometimes kill a thread because it was just getting out of hand.  This is how I have felt recently about 2 issues:

1.  Rear suspension air ride………the reason I promote the quad bag system is not cause it makes more money!  Its a better ,safer and more serviceable system……that costs more…….its more technically correct and is so much safer Heck, whatever you thought you save just got eaten up by that first tow.  Do whatever you want….this is America but don’t even go their trying to say ANY of these backyard designed single air bag system ALL would not be recommended by an actual suspension engineer.  Even the first 4 bagger system was overloading the stated max pressure of the air bags!  The quad bag system does not.  These are all true statements!

2. Single wire alternator was a Delco update from out 1st design alternators.  They are stronger, charge safer and do not require the outboard “nichrome trigger circuit” we all know causes issues if it shorts out.  I just don’t know why folks fight an obviously better design but a few are.  Again, its America and you can so that…..until that is you start effecting others safety and THATS where I draw the line!

So hate me if I down something you feel but just remember these are not just stuff we dream up……from hard knocks I’ve learned and don’t want others to do the same thing I did.

Gotta get Monday going….its just before 8am so I’ll talk to ya tomorrow.  Hey and if you disagree with something I say, let me know……..I’ll listen!   See ya later
