Gm 4106 comes in for some minor air leaks… turns into several days of work.

- A lot more issues than we originally suspected. The air leaks were all caused by oil contamination from a bad air compressor. A bad parking brake got them the spring brake upgrade they wanted.

My 17 yo son did the toolbox tip a little while back... Sadly it slammed into my project car and caused quite a bit of damage. He came into the house in tears and could almost not tell me what happened until I went out there and saw it. Truth be told I was not even upset at him one bit. It was a pretty dumb mistake that a few people have made. And I am just glad he was not hurt. The car got repaired and the toolbox was replaced. And everything is all good, and is something to chuckle at later in life. He's a good kid that tries to do right by others.
I've done it myself (more than once sadly, usually when I'm rushing) and I've been a mechanic for over 20 years. Good on you for not being too hard on the kid. At least he's out in the shop and learning how to use those tools.
Scott and Tyler thank you for helping this great family! Also, for the channel update on them....I was hoping all was well since they had been off the tube for quite some time.
Wow! this is the bus that you almost rebuilt and where I started watching all your videos. Awesome work once again. 👍
Thank you for saving them a lot of downtime on the side of the road. Drain tanks daily, drain tanks daily, repeat.
I’m always amazed at the amount of things you can find and fix quickly Scott. I like knowing how many busses you make safe and roadworthy again. Thanks!
Just takes a few min to look for problems ask a few questions, and then just listen to the bus.
@@BusGreaseMonkey It's important to have a sense of direction when you look and listen to these busses. You definitly have developed these qualities as it shows on your videos. You and Tyler make a great team which is a blessing these days. Keep up the good work and again great videos. Thank You

I have watched them reno their bus. Very enjoyable channel.
Nice to see old bus channels helping each other out.
Keep these old dinosaurs alive and on the road.
Cheers
Tell Jaun and Michelle I said "Hi". Had lots of fun helping helping work on their bus in Gilbert. Great catch Scott with the tool box.
I remember Juan and his family. Really nice folks. As I recall he inspired you to install the solar panels on Lenny.
Just watched this video for the second time in July. Looking forward to Juan and Michelle's travel videos.
You all are a blessing. Imagine how good they feel driving down the road after a few days with you?! There's a comfort just annoying everything's right.
Good to see Juan and Michelle again....I was wondering about them.....glad that their family is enjoying the 4106!.....good folks helping other good folks here!
Saw in the comments of their last video they'd been by to see you.
Glad to hear they're still truckin"
Love there bus, family and channel! Still the most impressive electrical setup I've seen..ever.
Well you take pride in your work. Just wanted to say we appreciate you and all your hard work!
We care about the people and the buses.
Watched that build from the beginning. They are amazing that bus is amazing. The kids must be getting big.
Nice to see them and their bus. I haven’t seen a TH-cam video from them in quite a while. I have always enjoyed their channel.
I asked Juan & Michelle if they were going to stop by - They said the plan was when they headed back west. Bit of an unexpected surprise to see them at your shop this early! But good plan to get the stuff fixed! Can't wait to see their next video!
stemco makes a tank drain that works off the unloaded circuit of the govener ,they are built quite well and can be remote mounted ,might be real nice on them busses
I don't understand the number of dislikes on this video. Perhaps because a toolbox fell over. Excellent repairs and maintenance!
It’s got a 99.9% likes to dislikes ratio.
Pro tip Scott, put a drip tray under the drain point when you are draining down air tanks, it stops the MSG from going everywhere and makes clean up a lot easier (MSG, muck shite and gunge)
Eh, he explained it was "too late" for that. Besides, it made a great youtube video.
I use to do air brake reconditioning, the amount of times we’ve reconditioned all the spring brakes and valves from trucks to have them bring them all back a week or so later claiming warranties to find they full of oil water or debris, no attempt to find their original problem or even drain their tanks was amazing. Enjoyed the journey with you and liked the update to the spring brake anchor locks. 👍
I always stay for the song at the end!!!
I absolutely love itttttt
Me too!!!
Hi there and thank you for your videos !! i really learn a lot and it's really helpful ! i'm in france and i own an american motorhome built on a crown bus chassis, there is not a lot of people able to work on it here so I try to do the most of the work by myself... when it's possible ! =)
Keep up the good work !
Great to see y’all reunited😀
I have watched them build their coach. What works for rubber bushing installed is white gojo hand cleaner. It makes it a lot easier to slide on.
Welcome to Tennessee. Looking forward to a travel update.
G'day everyone,
Great video awesome.
✌️ Peace from Australia.
KY jelly makes sliding rubber bushings on a breeze, plus its water soluble and safe on all materials
It's amazing how oil is your friend and enable but you got them on the road with your knowledge I have help lorry drivers on the units and trailers solving little issue's as I work on a security gate and the company says thank you only through waiting your channel over many year's now
A year ago, I suggested they stop by your shop when they started their trip East for a check-up. I know you and Juan did a super job replacing and repairing the bus when you did house calls, but with an old bus, repair and replacement is a never ending job. Keep up the great work you are doing.
I love following them on TH-cam......great couple!
With all the oil being blown out by that compressor, I'm surprised it compressed any air at all!
Great job 👏 👍
good deal love that shop
These Videos have me wanting to buy a Bus 🙂
Weird. I folloe them a few years, now they pop up on your channel. Good they are ok, and the bus is also driving well.
Another great video
love this family
I also have an electronic leak detector for my 2000 Monaco Dynasty. A whole lot better then soapy water.
On the bright side all that oil film in the air tanks prevents rust from forming for a while🚌🚍😀.
Always Watching From Whittier Ca. Nice Vids.😎
Nice work, glad you were able to take care of their issues! They are great folks and I enjoy seeing them on the road. Did you sort out the fan blade issue, it’s not the dreaded hub failure is it?
Toolbox thing has happened to me once or twice too Scott!! Good thing Juan was there to save you. Lol
Those 'anti-tip' hooks they have to keep toddlers from pulling over a dresser might be a useful addition to those big boxes.
enjoying the video
Burrito night made me laugh love your videos
Excellent 👍
keep the clips coming
Great to hear Super-Juan(tm) and family are still on the road. Can't wait to see all that footage of their travels!
(Yeah, Juan, it's gonna stick 🦸)
8v sound cannot be matched It’s the absolute best turbo or not. The sound is legendary. I ran 400 bc cummins in the early eighties. Not ashamed to say some tuned silver 92 rigs that were friends and i won’t say the gross weight we were at smoked my cummins
next time you install those bushings use some paint thinner, we use it to install golf grips . very slippery and will evaporate and get sticky again. lacquer thinner or acetone dry's to fast , so they wont work. Im amazed that you can still find new parts for those old dinosaurs ...........lol
another old brake system saved by you.. cant believe they using large bolts as spacers in 2022
My guess is the weight without a tag axle? Is it within allowable weight limits with all Tuan and Michelle did to it?
We got snow here in Idaho this weekend, and it sucks.
Saw Juan and Michelle in KOA San Antonio during new years
How's the air dryer. Can one be installed?
I like the idea of adding an air dryer bypass as well. They break down at the most inopertune times. And still put air tank drains in easy to reach places and Drain Daily.
Got that leak detector. Running engine it can 'hear' a leak.
Awesome
..the one advantage of a puddle of oil like that - you can see the underside of the bus as if you had a mirror under there... ( ..always look for the silver lining...)
You guys are too funny 🤣!
PIG pads, they work great.
You need some drip pans my brother..
"Bus Grease Mountain Boys".
When fitting rubber bushings to metal fittings, I have been told that sprinkling a bit of baby powder on it makes it much easier to fit. I don't know what if anything it does to the rubber long term.
Worked well when Baby powder was talc,.Nodays corn starchBased powder not so much
@@charleslee1944 Yes I should have said talc.
That bus came up your hill no problem 👍
50lb bags of oil dri works wonders. WalMart has large drip trays for cheap
"...like burrito night". 💩💨🤣
Start each job with the pressure washer. At least you will have a cleaner starting point!
There’s more oil on the outside that the inside!
Wow the fix is on lol
Burrito night! 😂
Those air brakes were beginning to convert to hydraulic ones!!
Could almost smell that nasty air tank oil through the screen. That original parking brake setup must have been sketchy at best
Yes it has a very distinct odor
A 2 ft across puddle and still not showing any emulsified 😲
Think I remember the Arizona folks, weren't they the ones that had the solar setup?
Yes they are!! Such a beautiful and wonderful family!!
Not seen this particular bus for some time,seem to recall the conversion is an excellent standard?
Beyond excellent. Check out there channel.
Have you been moveing furiture as te stud you pulled out of your shoe is from a chair my self i have taken out hundreds in my time as an upholsterer good content by the way 😎
I do appreciate the safe manner in using coathanger wire to secure the s cam. Scarey stuff.
What's scary is that the people that drive these busses don't realize how dangerous / bad condition the bus is in until they come to your shop and find out. Then you fix them.
We have a GM PD-4103 With a Detroit Diesel 6-71. When we were trying to unstick one of the injectors, the little thing with a square that pulls the injector in and out popped right off the injector instead of freeing up the injector. I just shoved it back on. It seems to stay on okay. Have you ever had that happen? Any thoughts? Our bus had not ran in 22 years. It still has 3 stuck injectors. In your opinion do we need to replace the injector that the part came off of? The mechanic we are working with is installing spring breaks for the first time on this 70 year old bus and replacing a leaking air tank that dripped oil when we aired it up.
Yes replace the injectors
what have bus owners got against windshield wipers?
Hi guys what parts do you stock that you know you’re going to use a lot of?
We don’t really stock anything. So many variations for different buses we just have great relationships with other vendors that stock parts like us coach in NJ
According to a fellow u tuber there still near a foot of snow on the ground in the UP of michigan
There is. Can confirm
@@fiveninegarage yes watch long haul larry on u tube he lives in the U P of michigan snd he still has snow
What is their Channel so we can follow ? Great Job On Bus Grease Mountain !!😀
Beginning from This morning
You will have to start from the beginning of their bus build which took them a little over 3 years to complete. There's been only a few videos posted after completion but it does sound like more are on the way. It is a fantastic series to watch as they did many cool projects
@@richardlazarski4553 what is there address on the internet?
@@pauleggert4639 they may mention an email address on their TH-cam channel called Beginning from this Morning however I'm not aware of any specific contact information
What is the TH-cam channel for the family?
“Beginning from this morning”
Type the above channel name in and you will find them quickly. They have a ton of good videos and are such a great family!! They documented the entire bus build a few years ago and is one of the best conversions I’ve ever seen!!!
Enjoy Kurt!
Beginning From This Morning
Please try to level out the sound when you edit. I live in an apartment, and I have to turn up the sound to hear you, and then a moment later an air tool is loud enough that 4 neighbors can hear it. I like watching you do what you do, but nobody needs to hear the tools and sometimes the motors at full volume.
