GMCnet is receiving and sending email to the list. Just not receiving from
the forum, where all the action is these days. Nobody is posting emails
here either.
The server host changed hands recently and seems inept, so Patrick is
considering moving to a different host. But since nobody seems to be using
it, what's the use?
Thoughts?

I am exclusively an email user. I don’t log into forums unless I am
desperately trying to diagnose an issue which only a forum might answer.

I’ve always really liked the email list (and the Google Archive), but my feeling is that it’s been kind of hard to know for certain that posts are getting to the email list - so my plan was to (try) watching the forum (and new forum) from now on…

You still have a lot of people that are email only that you will loose if you shut down the list. Yes, the two forums will still work but........

I am just back from vacation and see emails have stopped on May 24. I prefer the email format, it is quick and easy to navigate. I will be pulling the GMC out of storage next week and will likely have some questions and input to others.Thanks.

If this list goes away, I guess I will too.
I detest forums and website searches.
Too wasteful of my time with multiple
interests. Don't use the digest for the
same reasons.

Manny, You might want to look into HydroMax. Same idea as HydrpBoost, but has an electric pump, in addition to the power steering pump power. That way if the engine fails, you have more that the 1 or two stops that the hydroboost accumulator gives you. I have the HydroMax on my Ford F53 chassis SOB

Mac,
Please don't go away! I suspect there are still enough of us old codgers
still here (and not going anywhere) to keep the mailing list alive as long
as Patrick will let it.

Manny do you have a power steering pulley for your system.?
I used a Dorman pulley for a 5.0L Olds motor. Same size as the pen one. I had to change my pump as it was a 1973 and used a nut to hold the pulley on, the new pump was press on. You will want to make sure that the flow valve is for a flare, not O ring.
On my Jeep project I built my own hoses . All reusable fittings.
What master cylinder are you planning on using?

Thanks Terry and Ken, I have Wally on speed dial so I'll give him a call.
I acquired Bob Cook's coach and he installed the hydro-boost with the help
of Hans. They both passed away but Hans was a machinist by trade and had
perfected the hydro-boost (he claimed and i believed him)
The problem is that Bob stored the coach very close to the ocean so very
rusted. I have the unit all apart but some of the parts need replacing.

Back during the Great Recession, I used to sit in my office all day with very little to do, so I read every GMC Net email as they came up. If there was a topic I thought I was qualified to comment on, I would open the forum in a new tab and do a reply from there.
Once business picked up a bit, and since I have (mostly) retired, I haven't had time to read through the emails. I still check in on this forum regularly and comment when I have something to say.
Bottom line, without a dog in this fight, I would like to see both platforms remain, maybe for no other reason than I don't like change.
