"gmtech" needs to start an after market shop in Elkhart where finished units are delivered to him before final destination at dealers. Customers can opt to have all these mods added before they get it...like 4X4 on a power equipment truck. There seems to be a good market for it and the forums would do a great job selling it.
lol. Yeah, I'd love to do that. But unfortunately I'm smart enough to realize what would happen. Everything I'd have to do would be "Modifying". So somebody has a failure that may or may not have anything to do with what I did, they sue me and my company, and I lose everything and go out of business.

Nope, I'll pass. haha. Thanks for the thought though!

The other side of it is people are inherently cheap. You guys are talking about spending ~$400 or $550 on something that with 30 seconds worth of "work" gives you a possible 70 ft/lbs of torque. That's amazing in the vehicle modding world, or any engine modding world. And how much would the average RV buyer want to spend for what I did to our Vegas? An additional $10k? Maybe. Too bad that wouldn't even pay for half the materials I put into the 4 months of "rebuilding" our Vegas took. I'd have to charge an additional $50k to deliver a Vegas like mine. You wanna pay ~$130k for my Vegas? Not too much market there.
