Good job on the preventive maintenance. An investment that will save you some $$ and hassle down the road, for sure.
What did the mechanic do to the fuel injection system? Just curious.

Op here, I was going to put this in the “What did you do to your Class C MH today “ thread but thought that it would be more informative to all of us owners of Chevy Based Class C.
After I had changed my oil and filter and air filter I decided to take it in for that 100,000 mile checkup, a little past but it was time.
I took it to my trusted mechanic of 20 years, an RVer himself and he specializes in them. I told him to check out everything. It was good that I had a detailed service copy of everything that had been done with the mileage and dates that El Monte RV had given me when I bought it. We went over that and he did a check of everything plus what it was time for, like my Smog Check.
So here is what was done. Trans flush and refill, new plugs and plug wire set. The cooling system was checked and coolant was replaced, it was time, Fuel induction system service, and the serpentine belts were replaced, full lube job. While it was up on the rack I had him check the brake hoses, they found that one was soft so I had them all replaced along with the fluid, a very good idea on a rig at this age and mileage.
They did find a small leak on the transmission tail shaft seal and it was replaced. Everything else checked out just fine.
It seems to stop better with a firmer pedal, and has much more pep. Can’t wait for the next fill-up to check MPG.
So I guess that I am ready for that next 100,000 miles.

I started a tread last night about a new GMC 4500 Cube/box van I bought yesterday. Empty, it rides like a Cadillac and within a week, we will be filling up the 17' body/box with about 6,500 lbs. of plastic bags and drive 105 miles up to Snover, Mi. in the Mich. "Thumb!" I'll give you a full report on how our new GMC handles this 210 mile round trip loaded to the max with the GM 6.0 V-8 engine. Bags.

Re that bulletin, I would think it would apply to a Class C whether towing or not. It's not clear.
