Hats off to the owner for knowing his way around all the new tech "stuff". I had heard of such a thing as an Arduino, but it was only just recently that I had heard of "raspberry Pi". I'm so lost. And yes, what a super nice bus.
Looks like the west has some nice coaches. Loved your drive along the Columbia. First trip I did on that route was in a MC 9 with a 8V 92 W/shift. Thanks for the memories!
I'm sure that you probably already know this, but just in case you don't Make sure that the hoses for the transmission are spec'd High Heat Regular hydraulic hose will fail due to the high heat produced by the transmission. I bet that when you take that hose of the trans it will be "Crunchy" as soon as you try to straighten it out it the inside liner will just bust up with a crunching sound.
Everytime Scott shaves it's like there is a much younger guy at the wheel taking over for Scott. Very nice bus, I did notice the chrome air horns on the top? Just a little added ambiance to a great looking bus!
When Scott pointed out that first led, I was like woooow this is going to be good! So small detail, but it did tell quite a story what to wait for! I really like this bus!
That is a beautiful bus , so comfortable with all needed amenities and then some . A little too techy with all the electronics for me . They are nice until problems come up . You have to have a lot of savvy and patience . I really like the auto trans and 6V92 . It just needs a guy like you to keep up with things .
Amazing project. Loove the nerdy touch while retain the analog gauges. I would put both system in parallel so the computer is always checking the critical readings like oil pressure, temperature, air presure etc. I wouldnt replace the analog cluster. Not in a classic. But, definitely take advantage of the technology to take care of my bus
Other than the cool factor, I don't really see the need or advantage of digital gauges. Regular analog, or electric should be fine with the conjunction of a pressure or temperature switch. They're instantaneous, where the digital think about it for a second or two before notification.
If he wants a dedicated display I highly recommend the Banks iDash it can display up to 100 different types of data along with colored alerts and even data log.
Finally.... a clean bus in a clean shop with a concrete pad. Oh happy day. I can't believe some of the grease bombs sitting on mush that people expect you to work on.
You’re in my neck of the woods now. I grew up in the part of Oregon. Went to grade school in Gladstone and then finished school in Donald/Aurora. Hope you get a chance to get to the coast while you are out there.
Noticed when the system rebooted the torque app went back to the main screen. You can set a guage screen as startup so no need to push anything. The best part about torque app is also its downfall, lots of settings and adjustments to get it tweaked how you like it.
Sweet drivetrain. The “fiddly bits” gadgetry is great fun, if only one were not driving at the same time! This bus is prettier on the inside (a smidge) than “Melissa” (my pet name for the Montana 4106) but much prefer her “stealth” look of a classic passenger coach. Safe Journeys Everyone 🌈🚍🚌 🙏🏼💕😇 :{D}
Very nice clean bus, looks heavily modded on the outside as well as inside. Quick question, doesn't the steering box in the bus have a slack adjustment on the worm gear, or is it already at full adjustment and can't be tightened up anymore?
Hi Scott, thanks for yet another interesting video. To echo the many comments here, what a lovely bus, even nicer in some ways than the last one, although I must admit that all the digital tech talk in the video and in the comments went way over my head. I guess it's an age thing. That underfloor sleeping pod quite literally made my skin crawl, that for me would be unbearably claustrophobic. Crawling into that would for me be a horror story made real. Each to their own I guess. Best regards from the UK.
You're not a submariner then... Lol! As as kid I think it would be fine, as an adult, I don't bend that well anymore. But, that said, if you have the space in the 'hull' and you don't need it for carrying stuff, why not use it?
Hope Kelly is taking some stills of your travels for posterity, maybe loading them to an external hard drive. With very little safety experience, it would concern me about all of the squared edges visible in the buses. One slip and fall into one of those square edges would be quite painful to the body part or possibly catastrophic to the head upon contact.
Scott, which way are you headed when you leave Portland? If it fits your schedule, please come to Pomeroy WA and service my bus, I'm not quite 300 miles east of Portland. Many thanks for all your good works.
The onboard wifi is like the picocell we made for airliners when I worked at XXX. Cell systems are aimed at the ground and airliners are aluminum tubes, so the picocell picks up a ground-based signal and rebroadcasts inside the airplane. These came out after 2005, so Barbara Olson's "arabs with boxcutters" cell call to Ted never happened....
great looking bus! i use an old android mobile and run torque in my Mitsubishi Pajero (shogun in the usa), it works a treat but that car is native CAN. setup to power up and open the app when it receives power so all automatic
The Torque app has its limits. Its ok but not great most of us with newer diesel pickup's run either CTS2 or the Banks Derringer I prefer the CTS2 myself but it they will not older engines you need an obdII to hook them too for them to work. Looks like a very nice bus love the paint job.
Beautiful machinery! With that powerplant and drive train, bet she gets down the road smartly! And a guy can't have too many gauges and gadgets. Seriously!
With every video....the bus garages are beginning to really catch our attention. I wonder if in most cases the bus came first, then the garage. Hmmmmmm (That is me wondering)
I intend to do arduino units serial connected to a Pi and run custom video output and custom scripts and history logging for my Thomas pusher bus. Blow just one $15k engine for lack of a gauge reading, and you get a bit paranoid and want all the data.
Hey Scott! Wow! Nice bus! Dumb question for ya, in my younger days, a friend showed me on a GM steering box a kinda set screw that runs against the worm gear, and we tightened a bit, and it took up the free play. I imagine you can only do this a little bit before something else craps out. But is that a viable option?
Beautiful Bus. It might just be me but that galvanized 90 deg street elbow on the transmission hydraulic connection looks out of place. A nice brass or stainless NPT 90 would look better.
I think the weak link is the bluetooth refresh rate. The Arduino should be plenty fast enough for a half dozen analog inputs... I think it's the rest of the system being flaky. That said, I still prefer a physical gauge.
Hey buddy love your videos you did very in-depth thank you quick question for you I have an old 1978 International TranStar with a 6v92 t I purchased it not running and some of the front was missing I have searched this engine from one end to another and I cannot find any Electronics on it I was under the impression all of the 92 series where electronic fuel injection but I have not been able to locate a computer or any wiring harness going into the valve covers please help
@@BusGreaseMonkey wow thank you for the extremely fast reply not too many people out there working on these beats anymore glad to see you're still ranching thanks again and have a wonderful afternoon
What a nice coach and a great paint job although I wouldn't like to polish it after along trip What year is it Scott that door opening from the inside reminds me of the drivers bunk we used to use when we were two men touring like sleeping I a coffin or as you guys call them a casket not good ??
An LED for the coyote's eye. What a cool idea.
I like how your videos get going right away. You don't waste three minutes of viewing time with stupid music and video intro.
True that!
Agreed. Seems like a lot of Toobers are getting way too carried away with intro's these days. ...or maybe i am just getting too ADHD, LOL.
Totally agree
i dunno he wasted 3 mins with the digital gauge.
Agteed
Wow, that is one nice bus. Glad you get so much exposure to different buses and can help them out.
Hats off to the owner for knowing his way around all the new tech "stuff". I had heard of such a thing as an Arduino, but it was only just recently that I had heard of "raspberry Pi". I'm so lost. And yes, what a super nice bus.
The rooster will wake you up each morning...lol... A beautiful Bus inside and out. ;-)

Beautiful bus paint job is amazing love the old school pin striping
I'm sure that you probably already know this, but just in case you don't
Make sure that the hoses for the transmission are spec'd High Heat

G'day Kevin from Australia.
What a beautiful bus. It's a credit to the owner. ✌
“I would Prefer something much more consistently reliable.” Like analog gauges? 😂
That bus is even better than the last one you worked on. Everything has been thought of with it.
The 4106 is my favorite GM bus. I love the clean lines. That is a great example of a great bus. 🇨🇱😎
james harmon 4106 looks 20 years ahead of its time...hard to believe it was a contemporary of the GM New Look metro units....
That pastel paint scheme and light wood interior screams a late 80's conversion.
Pleased to see you back Scott. I hope you are enjoying your vacation in Portland. Thanks for sharing this new video of a really nice bus!
I second that.
Was going through withdrawals.
That transmission cooling line has definitely seen better days.
Everytime Scott shaves it's like there is a much younger guy at the wheel taking over for Scott. Very nice bus, I did notice the chrome air horns on the top? Just a little added ambiance to a great looking bus!
I like what the bus owner has done regarding getting better WiFi reception..fitting a Camp Pro antenna on his TV mast which goes to the WiFi repeater.
When Scott pointed out that first led, I was like woooow this is going to be good! So small detail, but it did tell quite a story what to wait for! I really like this bus!

Wow that is one beautiful bus solid oak cabinets parquet floor yeah you're probably right late 80s early 90s got to love it

Holy shit! That is a decked-out bus! Very very nice ! You meet some cool people Scott
That is one slick bus very rad!!! I love that 90's decor , very clean thumbs up
Nice bus indeed. He needs a dedicated touch screen digital dash. Check with Holley, AIM, AutoMeter...
Banks data logging gauges with the SD card are better.
Other than the cool factor, I don't really see the need or advantage of digital gauges. Regular analog, or electric should be fine with the conjunction of a pressure or temperature switch. They're instantaneous, where the digital think about it for a second or two before notification.
what a clean machine..hours upon hours of work...and it looks it..beauty..
If he wants a dedicated display I highly recommend the Banks iDash it can display up to 100 different types of data along with colored alerts and even data log.
That guy keeps that bus maintained pretty good.
Finally.... a clean bus in a clean shop with a concrete pad. Oh happy day. I can't believe some of the grease bombs sitting on mush that people expect you to work on.
Man i like the paint job on this one
A really nice looking coach! Love the early 90s miami vice color retro look!

Long live 2 stroke diesel's..
Normally I don't care for the Updated Look, but this coach is very tastefully done. Still prefer the '06 you worked on previously though.
What a beauty on wheels,thumbs up on this ride
That digital video read out is a nice idea, but keeping the steam gauges is a better one.
I like how they used MCI headlights and Eagle tail lights.
oh so painful. I'm 2.5 hours away. I would have come up to take picture of that beautiful bus. Loving it!
Are you in Eugene?
@@kevinhornbuckle Bend area
ohhh man that 92 sounds good! my bus is 100 miles south of you and also has a 92 in it.
welcome to the PNW enjoy your stay
You've given me the bus bug again ;)
Dang. Super clean! Good size, too.
Great looking bus 👍
THAT is ONE really NICE BUS !!
Bus sounds like it runs good.
LOL a drip fell off that line right as you were talking about it.
Very nice clean bus, looks heavily modded on the outside as well as inside. Quick question, doesn't the steering box in the bus have a slack adjustment on the worm gear, or is it already at full adjustment and can't be tightened up anymore?
Beautiful coach but I would've gone with a proven gauge system like Dakota Digital. They're not fiddley.

I have one word "beautiful "

Very nice. They keep getting better as the trip progresses. How about closing your videos with a heads up to the next job, just a thought...
That’s a nice bus. It would fly with that motor in it.
First!!! That bus is beautiful
7th but who’s counting ;)
That is a super nice bus.
@1:28 the rooster is a nice touch
My alarm clock crows like a rooster, so I thought it was my clock at first, LOL.

That is a beautiful bus for sure bro.
Great looking bus .

Alloy wheel's owner gets it.
Sharp looking bus !
Always a learning experience, thanks.
That conversion is damn nice. Wow!
Dang, that thing is friggin mint!
The Torque app has its limits. Its ok but not great most of us with newer diesel pickup's run either CTS2 or the Banks Derringer I prefer the CTS2 myself but it they will not older engines you need an obdII to hook them too for them to work. Looks like a very nice bus love the paint job.
I love the torque app. I Bluetooth it to obd2 for diagnostics.
Beautiful machinery! With that powerplant and drive train, bet she gets down the road smartly! And a guy can't have too many gauges and gadgets. Seriously!
With every video....the bus garages are beginning to really catch our attention. I wonder if in most cases the bus came first, then the garage. Hmmmmmm (That is me wondering)
Beautiful bus Scottx2! You could see the bad slop in the gearbox on the video. At that price I would source a rebuilder or get a kit for it
1st price we got was $1200.
1200?, are there any compatible boxes on other Semi trucks? I see this one has a Mack steering column
I have driven that same stretch of highway many times. But never driving a bus!
Man, that bus really sounds manly...
Nice bus. Thank you for the video.
You caught the hydraulic hose dripping on the video at 22:23!
I intend to do arduino units serial connected to a Pi and run custom video output and custom scripts and history logging for my Thomas pusher bus. Blow just one $15k engine for lack of a gauge reading, and you get a bit paranoid and want all the data.
That thing is sweet!!
All of the buses seem to have really old shocks on them. How long do they last? Some look to be original!!! Enjoy the videos, thanks.
Beautiful bus!
Hey Scott! Wow! Nice bus!

This is a shepherd power steering box. It does not have that like a regular box does.
Finally!!!
Ditto
I would love to rent her for the summer.
Beautiful Bus.
It might just be me but that galvanized 90 deg street elbow on the transmission hydraulic connection looks out of place. A nice brass or stainless NPT 90 would look better.
Very nice Android gauge ‘experiment’.....would love to see details on the Raspberry Pi change...
I think the weak link is the bluetooth refresh rate. The Arduino should be plenty fast enough for a half dozen analog inputs... I think it's the rest of the system being flaky. That said, I still prefer a physical gauge.

What a nice coach and a great paint job although I wouldn't like to polish it after along trip
What year is it Scott that door opening from the inside reminds me of the drivers bunk we used to use when we were two men touring like sleeping I a coffin or as you guys call them a casket not good ??
Cool bus, I’m not so sure I’d go into that lower sleeping quarters!
Going below deck into the hull!
hi Scott,
Would you please explain what various bus designation represent? For example, 8V92. Thanks!
What is wrong with the bus? I have to do it three times to get up the hill. Is it the driver?
Did you have to put on a clean suit to do the work? One would think that dirt would really stand out on that bus.
You are correct Scott, that is one beautiful bus. What year is it?
I have also have a 6v 92 Detroit. I don't know what horse capacity does it have. How much horsepower does yours have?
Nice bus
I have the very same stove and range oven in my 1978 dodge rv
Yeah, that bus screams late 80’s, early 90’s.
