[GMCnet] (no subject)

[Billy Massey via Gmclist]

GMCnet is receiving and sending email to the list. Just not receiving from
the forum, where all the action is these days. Nobody is posting emails
here either.
The server host changed hands recently and seems inept, so Patrick is
considering moving to a different host. But since nobody seems to be using
it, what's the use?

Thoughts?

There are only so many hours in a day. I chose to use the gmcnet. I also
participate in the fuel injection forum. I do not have time for Facebook
drivel. I suppose the forum is worth the investment in time, but I have to
get some work done. Just came inside from mowing about 1/2 acre of grass.
Then I will fix dinner. Then, I'm done for the day.

I’ve always really liked the email list (and the Google Archive), but my feeling is that it’s been kind of hard to know for certain that posts are getting to the email list - so my plan was to (try) watching the forum (and new forum) from now on…

Hi Billy
I’ve been on the email list for something like 17 years, really enjoyed and
learned from it.
A couple of weeks ago it just seemed to stop, which I mentioned to you at
the time.

I hope it returns. Always liked how it worked. FB is full of misinformation
although there are a few good guys. The other forum (Christos) is quite
good but not yet up to the level our old email forum imho.

Sounds like something technical has failed to keep the email side
operating. Not just lack of participation.

I would vote to return to where we were. I refer to the archived info from
years back often. Invaluable!

Sincerely
E

I am also on the email list primarily. When using a phone, it is much
easier to view and send messages than needing to log on to the forum.

Thanks Billy for all you do four us GMCers.

Same here.
Only on the e-mail list.
Mostly lurking and taking notes...

I am just back from vacation and see emails have stopped on May 24.  I prefer the email format, it is quick and easy to navigate.  I will be pulling the GMC out of storage next week and will likely have some questions and input to others.Thanks.

I have a project going on with a hydro-boost set up. Does anyone have any
notes they want to share on parts and installation.

If this list goes away, I guess I will too.
I detest forums and website searches.
Too wasteful of my time with multiple
interests. Don't use the digest for the
same reasons.

Manny, You might want to look into HydroMax. Same idea as HydrpBoost, but has an electric pump, in addition to the power steering pump power. That way if the engine fails, you have more that the 1 or two stops that the hydroboost accumulator gives you. I have the HydroMax on my Ford F53 chassis SOB

[Kenneth Henderson]

Hey, Manny,

Great to hear from you after TOO long!

I've had the hydroboost installed for about 5+ years now (including a
couple of idle years with Covid pandemic). I've never achieved anything
like the sensitivity Bob Stone does, without knowing why, so I'm of no help
to you (I'm considering going back to a metric vacuum booster with a 2-step
MC if my 85 yo body ever agrees).

At any rate, I'm glad to hear from you and require you to give Deo a hug
for me!

Hurry and keep that promise to bring her to visit us!

Ken H.

[Kenneth Henderson]

Terry,

I like that idea too; Wally did it recently:

[Manny Trovao]

Thanks Terry and Ken, I have Wally on speed dial so I'll give him a call.
I acquired Bob Cook's coach and he installed the hydro-boost with the help
of Hans. They both passed away but Hans was a machinist by trade and had
perfected the hydro-boost (he claimed and i believed him)
The problem is that Bob stored the coach very close to the ocean so very
rusted. I have the unit all apart but some of the parts need replacing.

[Kenneth Henderson]

Mac,

Please don't go away! I suspect there are still enough of us old codgers
still here (and not going anywhere) to keep the mailing list alive as long
as Patrick will let it.

Manny do you have a power steering pulley for your system.?
I used a Dorman pulley for a 5.0L Olds motor. Same size as the pen one. I had to change my pump as it was a 1973 and used a nut to hold the pulley on, the new pump was press on. You will want to make sure that the flow valve is for a flare, not O ring.
On my Jeep project I built my own hoses . All reusable fittings.
What master cylinder are you planning on using?

[Manny Trovao]

He installed a P30. I want to replace it .He teed off the steering pump
line and I want to use Ken electric wipers setup so I have to replace that
too.
What I'm most interested in is the brake bar. I thought the bracket for the
hydro-boost had to be moved. This one seems original.
The steering pump has the press pulley.
As a side note, the engine was fuel injected. He had the aluminum intake
drilled for the rail injectors. Pretty neat setup but I couldn't get it to
run because of the rust issue.

[RICHARD/MARLI SHOOP]

I had a 1982 Grumman step van on a p-30 chassis, with power steering and hydroboost. As delivered to Grumman, the power steering and the hydroboost were plumbed in series, with the hydroboost closest to the pump, plumbing wise, with the drain side of the hydroboost going to the power steering unit. No tees.

I am with Mac. I am here as long as the email list, and for
Mac's reasons.
