That is one powerful bus, and so quiet too! I loved the way it climbed Mt. Bus Monkey while towing a vehicle and not leaning on the rpm's to get there! Likewise, how quiet it was on the post-test run!
each time i see a video from you guys ,i think , these buses must feel like they are in heaven in your shop, a visit to Bus Grease Monkey must be a wet dream for every bus ...amazing to see the state of these buses somethimes, and to hear the horrorstories about other shops , nice that they find the way to real passionate and honest mechanics ... greetings from Belgium !
yea the "dip sh&t of the day award" i have lot and lots of those awarded to me over the years. im retired now, as it is said, im on the down hill slide now!!! its all good because thats how we learn and grow!! love these vids. MORE please and thank you!!!
I've been in that neck of the woods many times! It is beautiful country. We recently bought land in Soddy Daisy! We plan on making a trip to Franklin this summer to see the battlefield up there kind of near to your plot!
You should have a std fee for every bus , 1.5 hours for air leaks, replace Kingpins, replace bearings , replace airbags. Almost every bus needs those items LOL 😂😂
We all know that sound @11:02 but we ignore it for the moment prioritizing the stress to the steep downgrade at the moment and no matter what the mess back there , we will get to clean it up later . . . God willing!
Excellent video again guys. Just out if interest, what would a new bus cost? In the UK, your buses would be the the length of a lot a high streets! Asking for a friend
What’s the deal with the roof top skin around the AC hole ? There are old rivet holes around the edge but that skin is wiggling everywhere. That’s why I don’t like rooftop ac unit and prefer a basement unit. No extra rooftop holes and you only have the escape hatches.
Whom ever installed them was a butcher. They could have mounted them 8” off center and only cut through the sheet metal. Unfortunately the cut through the main center roof spar for all 3 of those air conditioners.
@@BusGreaseMonkey some folks learn after they get hit by a bat or digging a hole in the cornfield. ☠️🔫 Can that hack job be repaired safely ? I really hope so. God forbid that coach rolls, I wouldn’t want them being crushed.

I'm just here for the Toyota pushing that bus up the hill jokes.

@@robertquast9684 hahahahaha.....
Must’ve had a V8 swap….😂
If it's a Hylux, it could happen.
@@notajp who needs a V8?

That bus has a ton of torque

That 180° fitting makes all the difference. Not just 10 holes, but 4 hole duals on smaller busses and pick up trucks.
Great video 👍 Reminds me of a song "we are forever blowing bubbles"😅.

Painting the roof with reflective white paint is an excellent idea. It will definitely help keep the bus cool in the summer and reduce the A/C load.
That horn sounds like a Grover Horn. Used on Fire Trucks.
Another nice bus fixerup video!!!! So many old buses going down the road un safely!
good to see he color matched the Toyota with the bus 😂😂😂😂 red white & black 😉😉😉
I think we all have qualified for the dipship of the day award a few times . . . ;)
I have Grand poobah status ;)
@@BusGreaseMonkey LOL me too . . .
His bus does go really well and so quite other than the back sounds like my brothers philpina wife smashing the house up in a tantrums 😂
The roof turned out looking nice. I’m sure he’ll love the new solar panels but he might miss that A/C unit this summer.
Now THATS a horn!!👍

Hi From New Zealand.
Just seems like every bus has air leaks, cheap parts / more or less constant usage , prematurely wearing out ?

Usually by the sound you can instantly remember what you forgot to stow away before driving.

Another great video. Thanks.
Not heard or heard mention of the dogs across the valley. Have they gone?
We don’t hear them as much in the area where we built the shop on the property. They don’t bark constantly like they used to either.
Hot dog, another Grease Monkey video
Boy, I hope he is working with you.
keep the clips coming
gran video mi like👍👍👍
Is this a good place to take a leak ?????

@@BusGreaseMonkey unbelievable Scott. I'm not a fan of crap work and it's guaranteed to trigger my inner USMC Drill Instructor.
“This is probably structural” should have entered their mind on the first one they cut into.

Lucky bus!
You may want to start practicing using a seat belt , not much to hold onto if that rolls or comes to a hard stop.
