    2021 23BHE - Furrion camera pre-wire -> GMC Trailering Camera Package

    We have a 2020 GMC Sierra with the trailer camera package. This means as an option we can purchase the camera and the wiring harness to put our own camera in. The 2021 23BHE like many GD travel trailers has the prewiring for a Furrion camera. Are the wires similar? Can I cut and splice them...

    Hey all, About to start embark on the electrical phase (see what I did there?) of our bus build and I'd like to get a wiring diagram before I start monkeying around. A service manual for the bus wouldn't hurt, either, if that's possible. I searched for the bus on Blue Bird's Vantage site and...

    Bad cluster?

    Hey all, spending today trying to figure out if I need to replace some sending units or if my dash cluster itself is just wonky. The only reading it gives is the battery gauge.

    Idle Surge Part II- The Saga Continues

    Hey all, had a bit of an idle surge on my bus since I got it. Surges about 50-100 RPM, probably a little less but it’s very audible. Was going to just adjust the buffer screw and reset the idle but I just noticed the ammeter is the surging in synchronization with the engine. That points to it...

    New 2500 Chevy/GMC 6.6L gas vs. 2019 6.0L

    I need to get a new TV and am unsure whether to go with the 2019 Chevy 2500 6L or get a new 6.6L in 3/4 ton. The price difference between the 2019 Chevy and the 2020 is only about 2 grand. These are both base model trucks in 4x4. I like the looks of the 2020 GMC better, but it's about 4 grand...

    GMC bus, do I buy it?

    I’m looking at buying this 1990 GMC Blue Bird bus with a Detroit 8.2. I took a video of it running and my dad says it sounds great. It started right up.
