Building the Best Damn GMC Motorhome Ever E.14 - Fixing the Steering

- What was supposed to be a straight forward bolt in job turn a lot more complicated when I realized how many of the seals were damaged. As I keep finding out these parts were either impossible to get or prohibitively expensive. Thankfully I have a 3D printer, and some CAD software.

Gosh I miss my helpers being that age...Great Vid...
I’ve had my steering box rebuilt three times! Finally, I removed the culprit; I disconnected the wipers. The filter or the wiper mechanism itself gets clogged and puts back pressure on the steering box blowing out the top seal. It’s cool, but if you’re going to keep it, you might be able to rebuild it by printing some of the plastic parts inside that there are no replacement parts for.
"Don't drop it again!" - you better listen to your supervisor, he sounds like a real hardass to work for.
I love these GMCs, I love watching your videos, and I love that you seem to jump right in and get the job done. It worries me a bit that you’re not sure what you’re doing while working on the steering though. Those pinch bolts slide into a groove that’s machined into the shafts. Safety features....
Happy Camper! nice😃
You caught that. Nice.
I know the last thing you need is another projected added onto the work load of the motorhome, but..... When you start doing the interior at least consider for a moment a raspberry pi android auto setup. Many have used a raspberry pi + touch screen to give them a modern car setup. For less than a hundred bucks one can setup navigation, stereo and backup camera with a raspberry pi project. Granted we all see projects through the eyes of what in our proverbial tool belt and of course I'm pretty slick with electrical and computers so this is why I suggest such. So although it might not be something you're interested in doing at least let it rattle around in your mind for a moment.
Great work love all the printing fixes.
Hey, thanks for this video, I live in Portland as well and need to rebuild my steering pump too. I'll be bringing it to Pro Seering as well! Looks you have tackled a lot of the projects I need to as well. Keep up the good work! Mke.
Very informative. Well produced. With regard to steering box, did GMC's service procedure (centering, etc.) determine you needed to have it rebuilt or did you have it rebuilt for another reason? Wondering if I may need to do the same. Again, very helpful.
Portland man I hope you are staying safe
It's not like the news would have you believe. All that crap happens in like 9 city blocks. The rest of the place is business as usual. I wouldn't even know what's going on there except that I watch the news same as you. They want us to believe that a civil war is imminent when both sides of the skirmishes are probably paid homeless HS dropouts there to make it look like our society is falling apart. The problem with the world is that Autocracy is winning over Democracy. Belarus, China, Putin, and even our own president has a very small cabinet. This is the single greatest video I've ever seen on the subject. th-cam.com/video/rStL7niR7gs/w-d-xo.html Go Democracy! Go Capitalism! (Not this cheating quasi capitalism of the CCP in China).
@@IndustriousPursuits as far as I can see it's almost all one side I guess now some decent people are standing up to them but this is insane that the city officials just let it happen
Universal split cv boots man. So easy, cheap and last for years even on the axles. I'm never bothering to split a cv joint ever again.
Great talent.
If you ever need to separate that shaft, pull the bolt out fully... the shaft probably has a notch cut in it for the bolt to partially trap it, so it can loosen a bit before falling out.
When cleaning the steering shaft it bothered me a little that you installed the gasket you made, then you painted it. 😅 phew !!! 😌
It’s awesome that you can 3-D print stuff
I masked the seal off. It didn't get painted.
Unless I missed it...did you find that the steering was loser then comfortable? So when you put in the steering did you tighten it up? And if so does it cause the steering not to over react. I’m new to all this and a very much Neophyte to all of this. I find in the wind I am oversteering.
Thanks for the recommendation to pro steering. I dropped my box off their today. I hope to have it back in a couple of days. Any change you want to print an extra seal for the lower steering shaft?
Would you provide your files so we could print them ourselves?
LOL TAPE ON A JIC/FLARE FITTING
I figured no harm no foul with the tape. I was careful not to get any into the system, but I was unsure which is why I didn't show installing the tape on camera.
make annev conversion out of it !
It’s a mesh type filter. Just flush it and reuse it. Should work just fine.
you mention another channel, but there is no link to in in the video description. Also if i look up your youtube channel there is no link to it there that I can find either.
I've put a link in the description. Here is a video: th-cam.com/video/SOZe_fg9DN8/w-d-xo.html
Yes that flange area you zip tied probably is not as vital to be totally tight as a CV boot would be but still you can just squeeze clear silicone over the bottom flange zip tie holes, The flexible durable inexpensive type of silicone I use for that kind of thing is for windows and it is also the least expensive on amazon, but also any rtv gasket maker silicone can be used.
Are you posting your stl files on Thingiverse or anywhere else?
Seriously - I really appreciate your videos. I have a ‘77 GMC Kingsley. Have you considered putting up a store to sell the 3D printed components you’ve made? I would buy the mirror mounts for example.
I'm drowning in things to do. I can't justify the time making a 3D printed parts store. The mirrors to go along with the mounts are no longer available, but if you do find the mirrors and want to get those printed, I'm sure you can find someone to print them for you. The geometry is linked in the description of that video.
Applied GMC (Jim K) has that filter listed. Also, if after you get that going you find the splined shaft is still too loose, there is a great replacement setup you can get parts for from a company called Borgeson. Check out this older youtube from someone who did it: th-cam.com/video/dxgtqSMwjgQ/w-d-xo.html , I did this and it worked fantastic and cheaper than a rebuilt original.
gasoline? whooo boy, very dangerous to say the least, diesel would be a better choice, or use comet cleanser next time....
I don't have a problem w/ my power steering / wiper control. but would like to see what inline filter you will be using on the return line when you do it...
It's going to be awhile before I get to that job. Probably a year or more.
@@IndustriousPursuits Was there a specific inline filter that was recommended? thx.
Another YT channel featuring upgrades to this type of platform. I especially liked the diesel conversion as that old 455 Olds engine really eats up the gas. th-cam.com/users/TheWolfeFamvideos
Make sure you put in new grease.
Done. Thanks for the reminder. :)
Do you have a link to that harder TPU that you can share?
Go to the Fillamentum website and look up "TPU" 98A hardness.
@@IndustriousPursuits thank you
an ev*
It should be really easy to replace the wiper system. Should be cheap too. Why would you not want a better one?
I have the motor and pigtail wiring. I just need to send the guy his $300 for the brackets, rheostat, and rocker switch. www.gmcwipersetc.com/?fbclid=IwAR2ijy8Y7wi5hjwC3RbBExOl0w0mwjyYciotZg93UuV2Flyx3rSTusR6nGY
What is your other Utube page?

Do you use obs for screen capture? Nice vid man!
Yes. Thanks.
so, I did about 5 minutes of googling for you. I found this site ( www.bdub.net/manuals/PartsInterchange.pdf ) which apparently has equivalent parts to your filter. One of those parts was a Delco PF-883. Then, I found this forum to go find a Delco PF-883 ( www.pirate4x4.com/threads/who-what-sells-power-steering-oil-filter.253406/ ) and someone on there said they had some luck at Lee Power Steering, but that was 16 years ago ( leepowersteering.com/collections/all-products ) Good luck! Hope this helps.
Great research man! Thank you! I'll give them a call.
Not a good idea to clean parts in gasoline
True, It can be hard on seals.
And extremely dangerous....
