These guys make my head hurt. They never clean the thing before they start
messing with it, and just start trying to start the engine without any
lubricants being squirted in the cylinders or heads. Not a good idea with
something that has been sitting for many years.

It is very likely the chassis is of the vintage OP quoted, and that it was
given a motorhome conversion and registered as a "motorcoach" in 1991, thus
giving it a new year and registration that does not match the actual year

Well not the compressor, it tests fine, no leaks between compressor and valve

Once again it appears I most likely have a dead Arnott suspension pump. The
last one was installed in March. It did blow the fuse once in that time but has
been fine since. Wife took the GL to town, came out of store and it was sitting

The problems with the balance shaft and idler gear were solved by 2008. If
you're looking at at 2007 or 2008, check the VIN and engine serial number.
Avoid 2004-2006.
I can't vouch for the M272 otherwise, as I've never owned one.
