    Vibration at 2500 rpm

    The rubber ring on the vibration damper deteriorates then it starts moving on the inner core. How about the motor mounts? What shape are they in?

    Child Seat Anchors

    Buckle her up! No seriously, I'm visualizing the child seat going between the adults on the bench seat, is that correct? Floor mounts could be welded in fairly easily, also in the back of the cab in the double walled area below the window.

    Fixing large door/cab gap.

    To me that gap is great. How does the door to rocker gap look? The hinges can easily be opened up for more adjustment. I’m fighting the door to body gap at the striker area. I fabbed some pieces to go on the body there, plug welded them in place.

    1978 GMC K25 power steering question?

    Did you get the right pump when replacing it? Later model pumps used O-ring fittings. A ‘78 should be flared fittings on the pressure side of pump and both fittings on the steering gear box. Don’t over tighten them and distort the flare. The return line on the pump should have a worm gear clamp.

    ORD Springs

    My ORD springs weren’t custom, just the economy whatever brand they sell. Supposed to be 4” measures about 6” but the the chassis has no weight on it yet, it’ll be a while before I assess the ride.

    My ORD springs were just like that, I hit ‘em with the flap disc then repainted them, took maybe 15 minutes.

    NAPA Power Steering Pump?

    I bought a Napa pump a few months ago, haven’t got to try it yet but hope to soon. I like my local Napa store, the guy is very knowledgeable and they have as good or better parts than anyone else in my opinion.

    Correcting uneven suspension

    Take both springs out, flip them over and compare the height of the two.. is there a difference? If there is there’s your issue, if not you have a spring mount, bushing, frame etc.. problem. I have a local shop that does truck spring suspension, they have a large press and have adjusted springs...

    Multiple Battery types and the danger of diode damage with modern batteries mixed with Lead Acid and OEM alternators.

    The Victron is the unit I’ve seen installed in a friends rig, 50 amp I believe. One thing to mention though is he’s using it with a big diesel pickup with dual batteries and I’m sure a substantial alternator.

    NP203 transfer case availability and rebuild

    There’s been a couple for sale on FB Market Place where I’m located, they’ve been up for a long while, both asking too much in my opinion.

    Multiple Battery types and the danger of diode damage with modern batteries mixed with Lead Acid and OEM alternators.

    A large segment of the RV world has fully embraced the lithium batteries and all the various challenges of “Boondocking” AKA as off grid. Many have several batteries, inverter and multiple solar panels. The few guys I know doing it have a generator as a back up, either gas or propane powered...
