Warren, Congrats on getting Billy Bones up and running again. As for the muffler, I got my last one for my 88 GL from Ron Salmon at the Bus Depot. Got a complete setup from him. O2 sensor, Catalytic converter, muffler, tailpipe. Everything just bolted right together. Fit right into the brackets on the vehicle. regards, John Rodgers 88 GL Driver Warren.K.Lail-1 wrote: >Hi everyone, > >I changed the tranny fluid in Billy Bones today. >No, I did not put my fancy Redline MT90 in there, >but I did use generic GL-4.
