I just bought a class c motorhome so I can get the whole fam damily to lake. Im prob going to need to do a timing chain (maybe cam/lifters and more). Who have you guys ordered parts thru? Might need a 727 t.f. tranny rebuilt too.
Any help would be appreciated!!

Summit is also a good source too!..  Where you at?, I can build ya a tranny but it would take a while, I have a boat to do right now, but my neighbor builds trannys I'm sure he could do it pretty quick!..

Im in Tucson. Im taking the motorhome over to the transmission place tmw so they can troubleshoot the noise. This is a long story....apparently, the guy's mech was flushing the tranny fluid and messed up and somehow blew out the seals. So the guy puts a rebuilt 727tf in. Then the mech doesn't tighten the bolts in the carrier bearing and the drive shafts came unglued on the road. So at this point Im not sure what the noise is that Im hearing. I heard a bunch of different possibilities. One was that 727tf in a motorhome has a bearing in the tailshaft that could have been jacked up when everthing came loose. At any rate Im going to let these guys look at it I don't know where I'll go fm there.

Rolon is pretty good from what I hear but the "Iwis" chain is about the best you can get!..

Just left the tranny shop they are going to tear the tail section off. They think its the output shaft bearing. that is good news. Cheaper than a rebuild.

I do all my own stuff so I can't speak from experience but I've heard a lot of bad shit about Cottmans Sounds like some dick lost one of the bellhousing bolts and just stuck the first one he found(which was too long) and stuffed it in there  Or there's something that's supposed to be held on with that bolt and it never got put back!..
