I respect Marty's opinion concerning the Michelin xps tire for the fronts but there are a couple of things to keep in mind: No one including Michelin, B.F....
Lyle, are all the bearings stock in the Dana 70 or are the out side baerings differant. Also, do you know if the seals on the out side are standard or are they...
I finally got my tire situation fixed today. Well almost. The McCreary 12-16.5's are on the back, with Firestone 9.50R16.5's on the front. It handled superbly...
Dave, I can't realy say, I do know all parts were redly available, no waiting, just take money. Now what I think is all the center is standard Dana 70, outer...
Well im very new to the group and i have a lot of questions about this motorhome. To start off, some friends and I decided to take a surfing trip to pacific...
Greg, I remember you told us that you found a cooling fan for the Dinosaur on a 1980 Firebird with the 301" engine. Do you remember if the Firebird was...
Well i think i can get his grandpa to help us with all the water and frige and gas stuff. as for the motor thats pretty much all the things i figured as i know...
... Tom, No, it was not a turbo engine. I would guess that just about any V8 Firebird 78 or later that measures correctly should work. I know mine was much...
... Ummm..David, I'm probably one of the youngest in this group (38) so I'm kind of in the gap between young and old. Please don't take this the wrong way but...
Dude, Isn't this an interesting comment on trans-generational perception: the aging Baby Boomer urges "go baby go" and the Gen-X'er cautions against such...
... AHHH Michael, I can see you are much more of free-spirit than I :-) You are old enough to recognize lost youth. I'm not there yet. I'm old enough to know...
... so I'm ... Greg, it's not often someone makes me feel young! Being 28 years old in the Air Force and being surrounded by kids who just graduated from high...
Well here in central Mo. spring is in the air and I am getting ready to start on the Revcon. New engine water pump, it has about an inch wobble at the outside...
Ok One more thing, How do you get the input shaft out of the diff? I've got everything else out, but can't get the shaft out. I'm assuming after the flange is...
Dave, I'm guessing you are talking about what I call the "pinion"? if so I thought it would drop out after removing the nut and flange. I didn't take mine...
Recently, one of the Revconeers pointed out to me that Flat-nose rear brake drums are no longer being manufactured. This kind of bothers me, as I own a 1974...
Anyone seen these? http://www.tirekey.com/sample/index.html? target=BridgestoneBridgestone_9zo50zn16zo5.html What is the original tire size on the slant nose...
Has anyone retrofitted Alcoa wheels on a Revcon? The GMCers do it all the time. The wheel size makes tires very much easier to obtain and the wheel is...
The Slant nose Revcons had radial tires from factory. If you are not aware, the Slant nose ('79 & newer) have a differant bolt pattern and wheels are also much...
My ring and pinion are worn, but not making noise yet. Should I change them anyway? 400 bucks. As those gears wear, does it cause other problems or will it...
... . Still ... right ... once ... quality ... I looked at a 1983 King last night locally. Although it was quite weathered and has been a full-timer for 2...
I test drove a GMC and I would have to say that if you are riding in the back, the GMC rides better. If you're in the driver's seat, there is not any...
Again Dave, I'm only a expert on one thing,"my opinion". A worn gear did not cause my problem, it was bearing failure and ME not stopping 2 days before it went...
Tom, I believe that MM said he was working on rear disc brakes for the Revcons, can't remember which ones. Disc wouldn't be a big problem to make work if it...
