\"\"The GMCMI rally in Tucson, AZ, was enjoyed by many. Western States provided many Tech
\nSessions, and they were well received.
\nManny Trovao wowed everyone with his talk on Transmission No-Nos and a second session
\nshowing step by step rebuilding of our transmission.
\nJimK and Miguel Mendez gave folks an interesting look at some of the things they see when
\ncoaches come into their shops. (I think of the time we bought our current coach and took it to JimK\u2019s
\nshop. All the guys gathered around to laugh at the bushings on my A-Arms. They had not seen any that
\nwere in worse shape. And the silly thing drove straight!)
\nRandy Van Winkle stepped up when Jim Hupy was unable to attend. Randy and I entertained the
\ncrowd, showing them that you too can change your cam chain, even if you are as misinformed as we
\nwere.
\nJerry Work presented an excellent and well researched approach to buying and selling a GMC.
\nJerry leaves no stone unturned, bringing his years of experience in industry, and with GMCs, to bear.
\nRick Flanagan amazed the unwashed as he manipulated his CAD drawings of important GMC
\ndesigns he has done for JimK, including Quad Bags, Three Point Seatbelt, and Reaction Arms.
\nHal StClair and Blanca are to be congratulated, along with the entire team for an efficient weighing
\nof coaches. Hal was prepared and coaches went through faster than I could type the information into
\nthe spreadsheet. Armand Minnie was on hand and was a big help in the initial planning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
