Update and Thanks Everyone

You really helped. I was in a panic, buyers remorse, and got through it thanks to all of you. I'm still pretty darn naive but gaining. When the Chinook (yet to be named) was in the shop I really missed it and never stopped thinking about it. It's creeping into my soul. The fixes (I hope) were a tune...

Re: Just Bought a 2001 Concourse - What Have I Done!

Wow, this forum is amazing, thank you BG and all of you. My overwhelm is like a wave on the shore coming in and out. The level of detail helps enormously but also overwhelms. Keep it coming!

Just Bought a 2001 Concourse - What Have I Done!

A good friend down the road advised me that we always have a "buyers remorse" stage when we make a major purchase. He was helping me not to freak out, kind soul. I'm still darned worried. I fell in love with this Chinook that is in amazing condition with only 53K miles. It has a 350 V-10 T...
