You, sir, are a patient man. With the customer/owner there...making constant "suggestions"...you handled that well. I especially loved when he told you how to use the rear start panel. Like I said...you showed patience and tact. Nice work, with both the customer and the Detroit.
Thanks man! First time I've ever been accused of being patient or tactful! Lol
I’d need a bunch of drinks after that . Wouldn’t need any ice with the 101 Wild Turkey. Hand full of snow I’ll do it !
Excellent job, well done, you handled the owner well, I would have lost my patience with him there at the end when he kept saying " it just needs sprayed" the parking brake knob .
Wow its cold as all get out and he doesn’t shut up and let you work. You are a master of patience.
Your a better man than me . I’d asked him if he knows so much why the fuck am I here .
I’ve walked from jobs with know it all jackasses like that. “If you know so much about it, you don’t need my help, Chief”. Patience of a Saint, Wayne.
Yea I dunno how I did that actually lol
Nice Job! it worked out well with being just the one side. That bus would be perfect in your collection.
That's a nice bus I could live in that thing. It's damn near better then the apartment I am living in right now. That is so cool.
Wayne you have the patience of a saint . another great job bringing back another screaming demon nice job
Your the second guy on You Tube today I watched try and pull an injector with vice grips. All you need is a Heal Bar slid between the surface of the head and the body of the injector and it pops right out. i worked on Detroit's for 30 years always carried a 90 degree heal bar.
Ive never once tried to pull an injector with vice grips. I have a heel bar just like you said. Besides... all the hold down bolts are still in so the heel bar wouldn't do anything anyway.
Love the cold start of Detroit Diesel engines. It sounds great. 😎
You mean the hunting for idle ? Yeh, they are a trip, especially when they run away. I was a maintenance guy, fired up the 12V92 and she took off. You ever seen a man try to run through a wall ? 😂 I threw the ol flapper and shut her down but it was exiting for a second.
Wayne your a trouper working in that up state new York frigid temperatures👍👍👍👍
Maaaaan it was warm that day! Neg 5f here today!
It'll pop back up with a little spray in it. You know Wayne wants to tear his face off listening to that.
I really enjoy your programs man especially when you were working on that be 12 Detroit in that cab over that was spectacular
If I'm not mistaken, the Bus Grease Monkey looked this same coach over about a year or year and a half ago. I remember a strapped up tag axle and the exhaust being open off one bank. Pretty sure it had some sticky injector issues then, too.
guy wouldnt shut up gheezeeee. your very talented.love the 73 pete
Sadly, that guy is not the right owner for that bus! "10 bucks for injectors?" His best bet is to sell that to some one with knowledge how to work on it, and operate it properly! Someone spent a lot of time and money converting it, for sure! That baby is at the point right now, it has sat long enough, that it needs love now, or it will never come back! And that is a crying shame, for a nice bus like this one! That leak in the bed room, for example, needs attention now!
That looks like a vehicle a gospel quartet would travel the country in while consuming mass amounts of cocaine.
The owner is like some of my customers he talks and doesn't listen,
Dang man inside of that bus is magnificent don't you think
Good job ! Your going to have to take him to school on those systems!
The sides look straight.
70 degrees weather would certainly help.
Two weeks at Greasemonkey Garage to fine tune the suspension, drive train, tires would work wonders.
Good job on the engine today.
I worked on MCI's since back in the 80's It has tight working area. Thats a TMC Built in New Mexico Plant. MCI was built in South Dakota Plant. Front start not working because it has to have step light on up front
Damn, the owner needs a BIG cup full of "shut the f&%k up"...........or maybe 2 or 3 lol!!
🤣🤣🤣 truth
AMAZING JOB
Great job on that, the belts on these coaches always scared me, imagine a bit of your shirt or tie getting tangled with that, killer!
Thats what i waa thinking too!
the ac compressor belts that are missing is the one that will get you, laying over it is not a nice easy feeling
The dreaded MCI Belt Of Death... It takes a pair to reach thru there and shut one down manually lol.
It’s got the old bag phone!
Man you have some patience
Only for Detroits!
@@Ol2Stroker I hear ya, I know what it's like to have the commentary
After seeing the inside it's hard to believe that it probably started out life as a Greyhound Bus
What is that snappy tune playing while working on the mci bus with the 318
I have had several buses with rear start and most need the rear engine cover closed closed for operation
The owner knows just enough to seriously damage inadvertently components. Like thinking something safety with the air just needs sprayed. Some things should work sprayed or not. Like those injectors, he was thinking to spray it while he was exercising the plunger. Well that thing has to come up by itself. Hit on it till it does like ol2stroke. Sounds like his sister is gone. Might have been a private plane crash or something.
A mechanic that cusses, Fuck Yea!!
I've been trying to find out the exact tranny and aux and rear gear ratio in the 453t Detroit Diesel powered 78 Ford F250 video if you don't mind! love the Detroit content.
That was a ford np435 4spd with a browne-lipe aux 3spd np205 transfer case and a dodge dana80 dually rear with 3.55s
@@Ol2Stroker thank you so much! Take care out there keep working them jimmies
Anytime brother. Holler if ya need anything
Make sure steps and chimes switch is turned on for the end of the video to start.
The what now?
@@Ol2Stroker Haha! A bit of a brief sentence...but we also have an MCI MC-7 so I get it. These coaches originally had a switch to turn on the light over the entry stairs and that light/switch had to be in the on position for the dash start function to work.
I'm surprised the motion hasn't cracked that tile.
I thought the same thing
The dead come back to life! Pretty standard configuration there, don't they usually have the engine laying on it's side or something weird like that in busses? The side you were filming from didn't look too bad to get at, was the other side harder?
Didn't know you made house calls, I might have to buy a Detroit...so I can bring you over...and feed you beer(on a warmer day of course)
Ill go anywhere for beer!! Lol the other side didnt have any stuck injectors.
This is called a T drive, the type your talking about is called an incline mount.
Send that guy to the parts store. Jesus!
Is that the owner if it is he shouldn't own that bus not mechanically inclined at all that what those buses need
Yea hes in for a rude awakening. I tried explaining this aint gonna be a cheap endeavor
Don't talk to me while I'm working on vehicles. I don't work on trucks or busses, just my p.o.s. van or car, or someone else's p.o.s. car. But, DO NOT START TALKING TO ME WHILE IM WORKING.
Agreed
Wondered where you been.
Busy snowmobiling instead of working on junk lol
@@Ol2Stroker gotta enjoy life!
Wayne a couple of years ago me and somebody were on the way to Dallas and my buddy had to stop at this RV place along the way. While we were there the sales guy said Hey I have a cool old MCI bus in the back you guys want to check it out so we said sure why not?? So once we got To the bus I said what's so special about this MCI and the salesman said well it used to belong to Elvis! 🕺🎸🎤🎛
That's badass!
with a maybe a hair of ambition, you guys could go for a rip. its running, GO
Owner said "Spray it", then when your brakes locks going 65 mph down the road don't blame anyone but yourself.
If it might be something so simple, why don't you do it??
Exactly. Everyone wants to tell you how to fix shit but noone wants to actually fix it.
Park it in a field and enjoy it.
Ten bucks lol!
lubing up the brake switch aint gonna make it start
just the tag tied up. fuck . its a detroit. if it runs it will go.
You think you would be early too.
Awww....customer found a friend
Why is everything 1 yr ago
got a feeling maybe you need some help
BOOO! should have went for a ride. dont worry about coolant. if its not over heating it will go, looks like 10 below, wount overheat
WWW Watch Wayne Work!!
The owner is so annoying 🙄
🤣🤣🤣🤣 oh man you have no idea this guy was the worst
You staying safe and wearing your mask? Follow the sheep into the train car
Yea that's totally me 🤣🤣
