Inspection list for GMs and the 8v71

[travlinman]

I'm going to look at a couple of GMs in the next few weeks, anyone here have a pre-purchase inspection list for me? I've got one for an Eagle but it would be great to have one specific to GMs. I will be seeing a 4104 and a 4106. Also any specific way to check out the 8v71 motor would be of great help.

Maybe he is informing him of something for sale which cannot be posted here??

Remember that aluminum corrodes, especially when in direct contact with steel.  Find a pit or get it up on blocks and have a good look under there.  My 4104 is so old that most of the high wear items (levelling valves etc) have already been replace/upgraded.  The POs really influence how good the rig is.   iwould get an IR gun (you'll need one eventually) and give the bus a good run and check hubs and difs etc...Tha's all I know except an old bus that has been completely rewired would be good, 40-50 year old fabric wrapped wire is a short waiting to happen.

Because Steve lives fairly close to me, and it was in relation to something he and I had been talking about "off board", totally unrelated to being preserved for future BusNut searching. . .  Otherwise, as you well know, I would have.
