I have two 6x6" blocks cut to the height that just slips under the bogie mount at normal ride height. I put these under the rear and deflate the air bags whenever I'm parked at home. This takes all the weight off the bogie pins allowing the grease to get into the wear areas easier. When greasing the bogies, I use a small jack under the bogie arm so I can lift the wheel up and down to help get the grease distributed around the pin. I've already paid a few thousand $$$ to have the pins renewed and grease is much cheaper. I grease before every trip.

Been told also to put a 2x4 under the tire and over a 4x4 so you can move the wheel up and down with your foot while pumping grease in. Great video.

Wow beautiful condition outside lovely GMC motor home never seen an older coach in great condition.

CAUTION. Jacking one side at a time risks twisting the frame and breaking your windshields! Wouldn’t it be better and safer to raise the rear with your air bags- then block and deflate to take weight from bogies?

My question can I by pass the black tank and connect to my home drain pipe so I can use my toilet with out worry clean my B. Tank

I you doing good job I have a question for you my name is Harry

Black tank replacement is next on my list. Do you have a part number for that level sensor? I'm having trouble finding an analog sender like that to work with my original system monitor in my '77 Kingsley.

Still waiting for more GMCTV

where di you buy your new parts from? i am considering a GMC Birchaven but am concerned about replacement parts.

I’m surprised that there are no disconnect locations on the ABS . I know they don’t have to follow any codes so why not !!

Sweet rig. I would think about shielding the bottom of the black tank with a sheet of steel or aluminum between the support brackets. It'll just take one rock or piece of road debris to undo all of your hard work. It'll also help support the center of the tank from sagging when it's full. Sagging leads to fatigue, which leads to eventual failure from stress points at seams, thin spots, corners and joints in the plastic. They don't make them like they used to... trust me on that one. Great job with the install and the video. Thanks for sharing!

So your camper does not have a gray water tank? Everything from the shower to the sink go into the black water tank? That’s not typical in your traditional RV
