MECHANICAL UPGRADES FOR YOUR GMC
Our engineering team is always looking for new product solutions to keep our GMC coaches functioning as well or better than new. We have created several new parts that improve the safety, handling, or performance of the GMC coach.
Air Suspension Upgrade
Air Suspension replacement Airbags. The original GM factory air suspension air springs (airbags) are no longer being manufactured so we are currently using available off-the-shelf airbags from Daytona.
Replacement Air Bags: Single Airbag System (Ferrara bags) This replacement is one single chamber bag with a waistband for each side. The waistband keeps the airbag from “bulging” in the middle and helps maintain load capacity. This solution provides:
Direct bolt-in replacement for original air spring.
Firmer suspension feel.
Slightly larger in diameter than the original.
Reduced suspension travel compared to the original provides a firmer ride for better control.
Same operating air pressure as the original.
The same ride height on your coach as the original.
Larger spacers provide limited collapse distance if the airbag fails. Your coach can be driven a limited distance on “flat” bags.
Same load carrying capacity as original. o Readily available replacement airbags are available. NOTE: An isolation kit is included with each set of new bags. The kit, shown below, allows ride level to be maintained in the event of an internal air suspension control system or compressor failure.
Hub Extenders for Front Wheels
Provides a wider stance with the proper wheel offset for the front wheels.
Allows front track width to be equal to rear tract width.
Especially important when using upgraded aluminum wheels.

Major Mechanical Upgrades: Engine and Transmission Rebuild
We feel that one of the strong points of the GMC Motorhome has always been the 455 (403) engine. Over the years we have seen that most GMC engines go trouble-free for much more than 150,000 miles. We offer a complete engine rebuilding service. We are always preparing rebuilt engines so that one can be ready to install on short notice.
