I just bought a class c motorhome so I can get the whole fam damily to lake. Im prob going to need to do a timing chain (maybe cam/lifters and more). Who have you guys ordered parts thru? Might need a 727 t.f. tranny rebuilt too.
Any help would be appreciated!!

Check with Infomaniac here on the boards.  He has a machine shop in Tulsa and can get parts at or below Summit's cost.  Shipping isn't to bad either.   :good

PM him on Hotboat and he'll help you out.

Im in Tucson. Im taking the motorhome over to the transmission place tmw so they can troubleshoot the noise. This is a long story....apparently, the guy's mech was flushing the tranny fluid and messed up and somehow blew out the seals. So the guy puts a rebuilt 727tf in. Then the mech doesn't tighten the bolts in the carrier bearing and the drive shafts came unglued on the road. So at this point Im not sure what the noise is that Im hearing. I heard a bunch of different possibilities. One was that 727tf in a motorhome has a bearing in the tailshaft that could have been jacked up when everthing came loose. At any rate Im going to let these guys look at it I don't know where I'll go fm there.

I do all my own stuff so I can't speak from experience but I've heard a lot of bad shit about Cottmans  :stupid  Sounds like some dick lost one of the bellhousing bolts and just stuck the first one he found(which was too long) and stuffed it in there :laugh Or there's something that's supposed to be held on with that bolt and it never got put back!.. :rolleyes
