NEW HERE and a question or two!

Maybe we can donate some oem parts. I have a fluid drive that is a spare. Maybe someone has the correct fan? Just a thought to help them out. I'd hate to see them give up. God knows I had huge issues with my 4106 when I first bought it!

I have a complete fan and rad assembly from an mc5 - all yours if you can retrofit it, I will ship if for free.

wow, I am so humbled by the sense of community here! Thank you guys and wives for your encouragement and generosity! Doug has posted a major update also but I do want to say that we are now at home safely( thanks be to God) and we are now just trying to figure out what step to take next. As Doug posted, he has emailed the seller( an individual) and we are praying for the right outcome. It has been a real learning experience and one that I am sure will prove helpful to others.

Doug and I are looking forward to meeting some of you ( or all ;o) ) at some point on our journey!

God Bless you all.
Jamie

PS. Mark and Viento thank you for your offers. I told Doug to read these posts also.

Viento -

Unfortunately, the MC-5 cooling fans and radiators are incompatible with the GMC 4106 design.

The MCI is a "T-drive", with the cooling blowers driven by a long belt from the crankshaft pulley to a compartment directly above the engine, with two radiators on each side of the coach.

The GMC, being a "V-drive", has the engine sitting sideways across the rear, with a single large radiator on the street side, with the fan being directly driven through the torus unit, no belts involved.

Generous offer, but sadly incompatible.

FWIW & HTH. . .

Don't throw them away tho! Sooner or later one of us other 5 owners will need them......hopefully not me anytime soon.

Thank you very much though for your generous offer. Much appreciated. I second the notion though that someone else will need it so just hold onto it.
