Thank you guys for getting the mechanicals on this bus matching the quality of its appearance. I think it as beautiful as almost any vehicle thats been to your place with the exception of your personal ride.
I've been working on buses for 30 years. And it's a pleasure to see such great work being done by now. God bless, keep up the great work. I am now retired. I'd love to see how these guys turn wrenches. I could still turn wrenches, but I love watching what you guys do reminds me of what I was doing.I was turning the wrench on those big old buses
This was a great series of videos. I really enjoyed the troubleshooting, diagnostics and ultimately the repair. It’s so frustrating with trying to find competent repair professionals…definitely a shortage. The fact this customer drove his coach a couple thousand miles to have you work on it speaks volumes of your skill set, expertise, honesty and integrity…congratulations! I live in the suburbs of the Denver metro area and have a 2007 Monaco 45’ diesel pusher production coach, not a bus, and I feel that it is almost impossible to find a competent shop to work on it…extremely frustrating. Love the channel and thanks for sharing! 👍
From looking at the electrical diagram the Sonalert is on the 3rd axle circuit. Looks like it connects to junction 20 that is after the engine run relay for the + side and the - side is connected to junction 35 before the 3rd axle T.T. switch. It could be getting a ground through the lamps for Low oil, High Temp, Low pressures and/or possibly through gauges because the C3 connector if I see it right is not making a good connection. At Time Stamp 3:04 If the gauges are not getting good power from the Connection point 20 on the diagram through Connector 3 to the dash then that could explain the high oil pressure reading and when the brakes are activated causing the air pressure to go down putting more draw on the circuit making more of a ground for the sonalert to go through. Unless someone had changed out the buzzer to a Sonalert for the low pressure alarms. This bears more investigation if you still have the bus to look at. It is nice seeing some of these old busses get fixed up properly and not be rolling accidents waiting to happen. If I had a big vehicle/Bus I certainly would bring it to you for service.
Great Videos. I appreciate your attention to detail and making sure everything works the way it’s supposed to. There is no short cutting brakes, people can die because of brake issues. Some small cars need DOT inspections. Thanks again.
Scott, those Prevost chassis that were shipped to the conversion companies with 385/75-22.5 tires I believe. I remember being up at the factory for training and all the buses going for conversions had the bigger tires. I don’t remember them saying if they had a 14000# or 16000# front axle though. I think we had a couple Prevost x345 buses with the 315/85 22.5 steer tires on them.
In 1988 i do not think they had those metric tires on any yet. The rims are not wide enough for mounting those either so it’s not like someone changed them. That was later because the weights went crazy by these converters.
i love the choice of paint on the axle instead of the covers it looks good you can spot problems and do your checks an maintenance it’s a excellent choice plus leaks will just stick out like a sore thumb because of the color difference between the silver and the oil an that is a very nice bus
Hello Scott 👋 and BGM garage crew keep up the great work can't wait to see the next installment of the Detroit powered yacht ⛵ from Colorado springs ♨️
I used to be a mechanic and it still blows my mind how many of them are so damn crooked. I'll never understand why we cannot depend on absolute trust and honesty from these SOB's...Gives us all a bad reputation like a used greasy car salesmen on the few Mechanics who do work hard and take the time to do things right... How can they feel ok taking peoples hard earned money for crooked work, it's no different to stealing, I believe it should be law, if discovered they should pay a massive fine and/or go to jail. People lives and money are involved...
Wow, love those nice, simple mechanical scales! I'd love to have a set like that. My bus lists to the side some, and that's the next thing I want to check. I looked really closely at the springs, and found no broken leaves.
Scott seems weighing axles on a scale that’s on gravel wouldn’t be as accurate as solid a base as the concrete floor. More give in the gravel, but you’re the pro and a good kind one. Another wonderful video.
The gravel is lower than the shop floor so the bus stays level when getting on the scales instead of ramping up onto them. More accurately reading the weight
Does looks very nice and you're right about that you can also check things I'll walk around looking at it I had trucks for years and that's what I did with them too
In my 42 years of trucking, I have never seen a personal motor couch in the scale house being inspected. In the trucking world most company's run 95 to 110 psi on the steer and 95 psi on duals. That bus is heavy on steer in my never to be humble opinion he should be at the 110-psi cold. Tire flex is the number one source of heat so it's important to reduce tire flex on steer axle. As the man told me in1981 when I started "Your life is riding on those front tires" He would always say "Save your tires" After your repairs he should get 100,000 miles out of the tires. But as we know they'll time out before they wear out.
@ over the road tractors are rated at 14,000 steer. Five axle would be 12,000 steer,34,000 tractor tandem,34,000 trailer tandem. For a gross of 80,000 If DOT Cops pulled him I’ve he would get a overweight ticket anything over 12,000 and some states would go by the tire weight. When traveling he should try to reduce his weight. You already know that because I remember you talking about it. I would suggest in summer months he use the maximum cold psi on the sidewall to reduce heat from building up in the tire. Just my two cents.
Depends on the tire manufacturers, mine is different from Toyo to Michelin tires. They have your weigh the axles fully loaded plus fuel and then go to the chart for tire pressure.
@@BusGreaseMonkey If you mean legally allowable, in most jurisdictions, 12,000 lbs. But then if you look at each state's specs, some determine carrying capacity by tire/tread width, some by axle manufacturer rating, etc. I live in Ontario, Canada. I could buy a truck with a 12,000 lb steer, a 14,000 lb steer, a 20,000 lb steer axle, or I could spec out dual steer axles for some funky specialized machine that could carry crazy weight up the road. All that said, for 35 years, I have driven trucks that were built with 12,000 lb front ends, and many, MANY times, I have gone from Ontario on down into Georgia with 14 thou and change, and nobody has ever said BOO to me about the weight on my steers. On my drives and trailers, yes, a few times, but nobody ever said anything about me rolling around with over 14 on my steers.
In Australia, we run 385 super singles on the steer of our heavy trucks, 4 times the life, softer ride at 90psi pressure and excellent road holding on narrow roads with bad bitumen shoulders.
Rather than correct steering component or suspension deficiencies and wheel bearing play, or balance the wheels and tires, some people will slap on an aftermarket steering damper, hoping to correct shimmy. It never works out.
scott, is it normal for these Prevost buses to be overweight on the front axle like that? is the extra weight something they added, or maybe a customer added at a later date? just seems weird to me that is that heavy in the front, or are these chassis not actually as heavy duty as a normal bus. i cant believe its legal for Prevost to send a new bus out the door overweight on the front axle from day one, but who knows these days,,,lol,,, sure am glad you get to work on this one and fix all of its issues!
Prevost didn’t send it out overweight. The conversion company that turns them into an rv pushes the weights right to the limits. Some say they are legal weight until the new owner climbs in to drive it away. Clearly little margin for people, belongings, camping gear, etc
Coach builders don't care about weight. Friend of mine bought two Class C's before buying a diesel pusher. Both Class C's had a GVWR of 14,000 and both weighed MORE than 14,000 straight off the lot.
Hey Scott, regarding the front axle weight problem, should he: Redo the conversion in the bus up front to lower the weight to spec or get a 15k# steer axle to replace the one up there to cover the current weight? Or is there another avenue he should take?
Load it different. Move stuff around. Eliminate some storage, upgrade the house batteries to lithium maybe travel with less water, fuel, etc. it’s manageable
@BusGreaseMonkey I seen Steve Morris the engine builder bring his broken down bus to a shop and they had mobile lifts that went to all 4 tires on the bus and they lifted with one remote evenly. He was in shock when he walked in and his bus was 5 feet in the air, looked pretty scary that's for sure.
Is there a air regulator that sets the pressure in the bags for the tag and thus sets the amount of weight taken by the tag? I ask because thats usually how it works on class 8 trucks for the "pusher" tag in front of the tandems you'll see on trucks that haul heavier loads. The air pressure is set to take a certain amount of weight onto it to make the combo legal with some buffer. Reason I ask is Im wondering if you can manipulate the tag weight to take a little bit of weight off the front axle. Right now you have ~9300 on the tag, ~18000 on the drive. If you reduced the tag compensation say about 2k lbs and bring it down to about 7000lbs, then you may 'lift' some weight off the front axle. Basically using the engine weight, all the weight rear of the drive, to counterbalance the front, with the drive being the fulcrum. Now obviously its heavily disadvantaged, being so long up front and I dont know the wheelbase in order to calculate how much change would occur, but it might take just enough off to make that tire not overloaded. I wouldnt worry about the axle weight discrepancy, only the tire being heavy.
What a shame that bus/motorhome had ever seen winter salted roads in its life, that is a killer to such units and pushers just get nailed in their engine compartment vs a typical highway tractor.
I've resurrected totally dead equipment (not vehicles) where an alarm keeps coming back and reaches a peek of silliness and then you just suddenly snap and dig into it how ever you have to, to cut the wires.
Are there no safety inspections for vehicles in the US? Here in Ireland there are after a certain age, which get more often the older the vehicle gets. If they fail, the issues have to be addressed and retested, otherwise the vehicle is taken off the road
Private ownership rv’s fall into a loop hole in most states and are exempt from nearly everything logical. Motorcycle drivers have more restrictions than driving one of these.
If you're only weighing one axle at a time how can you be sure some of the weight that's normally carried by the tag axle hasn't been transferred onto the main axle because of the added height off the ground for the scale. The other thing with two axles close together, that I'm familiar with from railway locomotives, is that the adjustment of the suspension can affect how much of the load is on each axle. So another possible explanation for the excess weight is that the tag axle might not be carrying its share of the load. (Caveat: I don't know anything about a tag axle setup on a road vehicle and how the axles "interact".)
As a commercial truck driver I’m opposed to those chrome caps on the hubs. As a driver you need to inspect them daily and if covered you can’t see any problems. You don’t have to dip your finger in them just look. See something say something.
To look at that bus you'd think it would be 100% mechanically perfect, Nope, I hope he got a good deal when he bought it. but as I've said before it is criminal that these busses do not have to go through a full vehicle check every 12 months in all states.
When you lift the tag and add 10000 pounds to the main axle, arent you overloading the drive axle tires by about 10000 pounds? Maybe it does not matter at slow speeds.
Being a truck driver my self anyone who wants to drive a vehicle that big should have to be licensed to do so . I’m sorry but just because it’s registered as a RV shouldn’t matter . if it was still a bus where it transported people you would need one so why not when it’s a rv

From your channel, I have learned two things:
1) Never drive near a bus unless it has a BGM sticker on it.
2) I should never buy a bus.
It’s almost always a happy ending
#2 should be #1, I know!
I have learned another thing here: don't trust the annual checkup, it's more like the daily checkup in Europe.
it is all expensive big and heavy, not for every one,
It's videos like this, that shows how we will always need specialists in whatever fields
The knowledge is invaluable, well done Scott and the BGM crew
