Mechanic's name is James. I don't know Griff, but after reading some of his posts, he must be quite knowledgeable.
Thank you for the compliment.
I apologize to everyone for disappearing for a bit. My right knee pain flared up ... to the point I could barely play solitaire, never mine writing a coherent sentence. (I also wanted to see if anyone made the place connection ... and laugh when I read what TreeSeeker wrote.)
I live in Two Rivers, just off 22.5 CHSR. (Actually, in the Pleasant Valley area but everyone says I'm too grouchy to claim that place.)
I've probably met James, selling or delivering parts to him when I worked at CarQuest a few years ago.
I normally don't work on other people's vehicles. Instead, I prefer to help them fix their vehicles themselves. The satisfaction those people get from learning and doing something new gives me a lot of personal pleasure. (Plus, it tells me just how serious they are about solving their problems.)
My daughter is almost as knowledgeable as me but is 100 percent service-connected disabled. She's been trying to find someone -- who won't piss me off -- to 'help' me fix her pickup.
In any case, welcome to the 'old Dodge motorhomes' thread. You've joined what is probably the best place for information and help with your motorhome.
You mentioned owning a Class A Explorer in the early '70s. You may have also noticed, in my signature block, that I own two early '70s Class A Explorers. Both were acquired in Alaska so it's possible you were a previous owner.
Did yours look like this?
