06 Bill,
Geez, for a second I thought I was reading my own log, same work on the MC7, every bearing, seal, gear, brake, bearing, steering, joints on pitman & tie rod, you name it , it has been gone over, Never had any issues on the road, have had the8 & 12V-71's and finao the 8V-92, all with the Road ranger RTO910. agree, have spent more than most would, but no regrets, only west to Miss river, and every state east including a lot of Canada. Only regret, did not do more of it. I now use the Foretravel 36' with the ISM500 Cummins & Allison 4000R with retarder, beautiful setup. only problem is the clock keeps going & going, hav not gotten to the slobbering stage yet, but headed there.
Enjoy while you can, you will never geet another today.
