    Edited it for you -- Any old bland motor home could have a 454...


    There was only ever one motor home that was THE GMC motor home:

    Front wheel drive Oldsmobile Tornado drive train 455 Rocket powered :rocket:, rear independent air suspension - these weren't sheds on a truck chassis.

    My brother just had his motorhome fixed, had an exhaust leak that ended up being a broken head on a ford 460. They ended up pulling the motor to do the heads, cost him over $8000 to get it back together.

    Clearances are questionable but these reduced shank EMs are nice. Running it about 175SFM and .002IPT and its pretty quiet. Just hope 2 EMs last for all the parts

    Motor homes fall apart just sitting in the driveway, probably the only thing other than a boat that can approach that kind of hours of use to dollars spent ratio. :spending:

    Luckily I’ll never have to worry about the motorhome thing. Now boats on the other hand…

    The piece the guy brought in last week was a tad bent up. Hopefully it’s close enough for an old Mitsubishi pickup.

    He has 30 of them, not all are driveable though. He came by in one the other day with 118,000 miles and automatic. It was nice!!!

    Saturday when Cole and I were working on the trailer he ask could he blow the floor off when we got done, I said sure, thinking he was talking about the backpack blower. I heard something and said Cole, what is that? He said I turned the air compressor on. I said I know but how did you fix it? He said I just flipped the breaker. Apparently it got too hot the other day and is working fine now :D

    Customer, a major cafeteria in these parts brought this 1/4 turn valve in a few months ago and wanted two handles made to turn them. He brought them back and wanted these two pieces made. I told him I could cut his handle off and leave the nut but he didn’t want to do that, he must be an engineer :eek:

    He said people kick them and bend the handle is why he wants this. It’s a steam valve for something.
