Tom Cherry Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Right afterwards. Most of the oldtimers, due to seniority, were still employed. One, no offense, does not want, unless obsessively compulsively possessed with chasing problems where the manufacturing mantra as “keep it moving….never test…it HAS TO START”. There was a shortage of essentials when Navistar took over and the assemblers were new and it was “make it fit”. Now, that was told to me by a HR GM & his chief tech. The tech spent 2 weeks shaking down the GM’s 2010 Imperial. Some of the components were hold over 6 VDC but put in. Ordinarily, the tech would get a new unit ready for delivery in 3 - 4 days…. Then, every month, a failure….3 or so days…. I have no regrets for my “better to be lucky” New Camelot purchase. Many of the 07 serious things were corrected in 08. Monaco shutdown circa April 09. All stranded units were titled as 2010…. I know several present and former members with 09’s and all were pleased. Mine was a August 08 build.

I wish James would be a member of this forum, because he has a vast wealth of knowledge he could contribute, added to the fact that he owns a 2001 Beaver Patriot Thunder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he could make a lot of money doing a master class type of set up. I’d pay to learn how to do some of this stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s kinda at that point where he really could hire a crew to do the work and someone video and edit his stuff. He has such a good reputation and knowledge/skill set 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdw12345 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 The rear cap on that one looked like it had been buffed, just curious what happened there! Buffing black is tough to get it correctly done! Nice inspection, looks like the previous owners left in a hurry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishAR Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 (edited) Video made me really happy about my slides and roof on my 2007 in comparison to that one. I've watched a lot of his videos and he always scares me, think he's going to fall off the roof at any time. Also I'm sure it has ac drains, they're probably clogged.

I thought the same thing about the drains. I’m surprised he didn’t check for them. Clogged AC drains is pretty common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbircky Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Mine is titled as a 2009, but the inside sticker shows a build date of Jan 2008. I must admit (brag?) that the interior quality is significantly higher quality that a lot of newer dps I've seen from various manufacturers. The CDO part of me cringed at the mess inside, but doubt the repo angle. It's in AZ with OH plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyL Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 The 09’s I’ve seen have a vented engine door , our 08 camelot is ventless. Hot,hot,hot. That’s why I was looking at cutting vents in, like you see on the side of inboard boats. But it’s been 10 years, and still living with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96 EVO Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 I have lots of venting, and a wider engine access door to boot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
