One-Ton Front End - Installed or Kit
Cost-effective, Modern Improvement
This is a terrific and logical upgrade for our Motorhomes. Given how difficult and expensive it is to service the original bearings and how often it must be done, this is a cost-effective solution for that problem alone. It provides much larger sealed hub bearings which are bolted to the knuckles. In addition, it provides heavy-duty knuckles, new ball joints and bushings, new axles, new and bigger brake rotors (improved braking), reinforced lower A-arms, and a spacer that moves the front wheels out to be in line with the rear tandems for better tracking and improved handling.
Gene Fisher says: “I think this is the main point about the 1-ton; any part of the OEM front end (major repair) will cost more than this whole kit and not provide a heavier duty solution you’ll appreciate.”

Improved Braking for the GMC Motorhome
One of the recent developments for the classic GMC MotorHome has been that of components to safely and effectively bring the coach to a stop without the rear tires of the bogie loosing their grip on the roadway by skidding. This typical behavior means making four tires do the work of braking the coach without assistance from the other two. Just imagine, if all six tires stayed in contact with the surface of the highway, one would see a 33% increase in effectiveness regardless of the size or type of the braking system, drum or disc.
In addition to helping owners get their coach to move, Manny has also worked to help owners get their coaches to stop. This has called for serious attention to developing a reaction disc brake system, selecting the best master cylinder for the job, and, as a result, reworking the combination valves. To that end, check out the following links to see how all of this comes together for a greatly improved braking system.
