Vintage RV & Motorhome restorations - "The GMC Coop"

You are here: Home / The Daily Pose / This week ive been burning up the phones…..thanks for all of the interesting calls…..

May 19, 2021

This week ive been burning up the phones…..thanks for all of the interesting calls…..

…… Several new ranch hands for our DIY platform “Motorhome Rehab Ranch” over on Patreon…….. Looks like GMC enthusiasm is alive and well with folks working with their coach ……. It’s great helping you guys understand more how to enjoy your GMC experience.

Let me talk about one particular option we have found really popular….and important:

Have you ever changed a Serpantine belt on a late model car?  Chances are not….i mean I’ve never had one come off while driving!  There’s a really good reason for that…… Simply stated, they don’t come off!

Wouldn’t it be great if you didn’t have to be sure you had wrenches, at least an extra alternator belt and a couple of well placed cuss words….having that and the knowledge to change thrown off fan belts you’re just not ready to travel

The aftermarket world has latched on to this option making some cool “bling” for restomod cars but the big news is the single big far belt with a spring mounted tensionerwill make the belt system on your GMC as reliable as a new car!

Also….. The dash AC compressor that used to pull 20hp from your motor is replaced with again the same rotary AC compressor you find in a new car….pulls 5hp and reliability?   Yep it’s therethe CVF Serpantine belt system also sports a 130amp self exciting 1 wire alternator pitching our battery burning 100amp alternator used in our coachand the power steering pump pictured just below the alternator above has a remote fill power steering fluid sump.

All that and all that cool looking aluminum billet……… Put this on your motor and many issues are upgraded.How much?  All the hardware to put these features of reliability in your coach….$1900.  There are cheaper set ups…..but that’s what they are….cheaper.  CVF (look them up) is the finest system available.  We can furnish everything AND the technical expertise to make it work flawless for you.

Give me a call and lets talk…..321.299.5707.

This is one example of where we want to take the GMC.  I mean why not…..if you want your 45 year old machine to work like a new car…..here ya go!

Ok, I’m ready for another day on the phone while the guts bust it our back…..and the beat goes on……see ya later….and give me a call about putting a Serpantine belt system in your coach….they don’t throw belts……..

(Update)

Wow…already a question!  Will the original an and clutch assembly fit onto the system?

Yes it will, our restoration process installs a new off shelf aluminum radiator that can be replaced at any parts house an a variable speed 2 electric motor fan box to further upgrade systems but you can bolt your original fan system onto this belt system….no problem.

Any other questions give me a call…..
