Back in 1977 I travelled from Sydney to Perth and back by coach, it had a jimmy 8v92 and it sounded brilliant. A round trip of approx 6 thousand miles

That is a jankie bus

Great song. We love watching you guys work on these buses, finding the faults. Wish we were living nearby to help.

My heart sank when I saw the damage. If there is any upside to this it is that it was not one of his Custom Coach conversions. They would be much harder to fix correctly, especially if it happened inside the front house air conditioner evaporator compartment for example.

I have a 1988 S10 Blazer with the factory armor plating, which had that exact problem; the oil filter is remotely located from the engine because there's no room between the bottom of the block and the shield plate. The gasket where the remote mount hose attaches to the block (where the filter normally would be) was worn out, and was dripping oil only when the engine was on.

So many bad shops out there. Thank goodness he found you!

sounds sick alright, like its dying.

No A/C

No wiper blades?

What are the torque numbers on a beast like that?

Honest wrenching, nice job guys!

That's a beautiful machine!

a turbo version of this engine was used for LAV's. heard them all the time when i was in the Marine Corps.

Hi Scott, I love that 47 Hound. I never get tired of looking at it 👍 I'm looking forward to more videos on Lenny.

Looks like the battle born batteries are a fail. Only 5 years?🤷🏻‍♂️

I have been binge watching this channel. As a former automotive then heavy equipment mechanic in a previous life I can say Scott is probably the most honest and competent mechanic I have ever seen. I have also come to the conclusion any reasonable priced quality bus will be old. Parts availability and the complexity of these RV's is beyond what I want to deal with.

much much better

I wanna be driver!

Put a little soapy water on rubber items and it will slip on and the water will evaporate and will stay on

I've always wanted to buy an old school bus and turn it into a camper but these are making me reconsider

Those batteries sound pricey compared to equivalent EG4 Lifepower rack batteries.

Настоящая техника👍

Great job! People like you will be blessed with great success!

Excellent job.

At $2000 per battery i think I’ll stay away…..

Do all old busses have bird poop on the gauges lol..

Please notify viewers names of illegal run of the mill shops that was suppose to fix these major safety issues so NTSB can send Federal investigators to check Safety Violations.

Thats a VERY OLD 8V71. Oil bath always got nasty like that due to the blow by endemic to the design. Later models had Donaldson high flow dry filters and a crankcase blow by recovery system added.

Bet that owner was happy. It's not often that the maintenance repair is less than anticipated.

Wow from a estimated repair of $7000.00 to less than an estimated repair of $700.00ish. Way to go Scott keep up the good work at Bus Grease Mountain featuring the Bus Grease Monkey.

Great that it was fairly simple fixes. Im sure the owner is a huge fan of your shop.

IT WOULD HAVE A BED IN IT FOR HIM IF IT WAS A PRIVATE BUSS - OR BUNKS IF IT WAS A CREW BUSS

In the 80's, my drum and bugle corps had three scenicruisers. I'll never ever forget them. GREAT buses!

How much of those parts were ruined because they were installed incorrectly? The shop who did the work needs to be shut down either they don’t know what they’re doing or they’re doing shitty work and robbing their customers either way it’s an accident waiting to happen and someone is going to be seriously injured or killed

Put soapy water and it will make the boot easier to put on and the soap will dry up

Gotta love a Detroit they just don’t make them like they used to they run forever

Sweet!!!!

I reckon he wants to buy a couple of Lottery Tickets. His luck is Surely in!

I see a lot of comments about how lucky the owner is. While that is true, he chose the right mechanic. That wasn't luck. Scott & Jonathan are the lucky ones. The rear main seal would not have been a serious pain. And still wouldn't have fixed the problem. 😊

I never replace parts on a customer car without first doing my own diagnostic. The dude said hopefully it fixes it. I can tell you that even garages and dealerships sometimes don't know what they are are doing. Had a Ford escape at my shop. Customer took it to ford dealer for a recall unrelated. The left front abs sensor wire broken. They told customer 400 to fix it. They agreed. The dealer tech went to abs module and cut right front wire and wires left front sensor to it. He then cut the new wires and flip flopped.them 3 times trying to get left front abs input. They told the customer they needed new abs module 2500 plus 1000 labor. They told him he could not replace it with used. He called me and I asked him if he wanted it replaced or if he wanted the issue figured out because that's 2 different things. When he came to get it replaced I found the actual issue.

Big smile when you expect to have a expensive repair and you get the news from a honest shop. Good job , again.
