Very sick sounding 500 HP Prevost detroit diesel 8v92TA Engine work

The broken exhaust manifold and bad exhaust gaskets. No turbo boost power. Oil leaks and more.

I'm an industrial mechanic. The way things are today, I really don't think the shop purposely tried to defraud this guy. It's more likley that they don't have anyone that knows what they're doing. There is a massive shortage of knowledgable mechanics in the US today. Especially with older equipment.

Now I know that the RV industry is a real money maker for shops all over the country but downright robbery is shameful! I've worked in the repair business many years ago and found that there's enough work out there with out being a crook. The auto and RV industry is not perfect and things break and wear out without our help. I'm with you, it's down right shameful how people get robbed. Some that say they fixed things have in fact created a safety issue, from bad brakes to shocks and springs just holing on. Even though RV people have a good amount of money, stealing it from them is not right! These crooks should be brought to justice.

I’ve been watching Scott’s channel for years and never had any interest in Busses. Now I don’t miss an episode.

Nice work, I struggle to comprehend how our Detroit shop can say it needed a complete rebuild that quickly! Cheers Drew

I have seen this valve covers warped and those hold Downn puck crushed and losing hold Down pressure.
I knew your an excellent mechanic, but I would check blow by with a manometer.
When I worked at greyhound Seattle, we had a board with various pressure gauges, Mercury and water manometer on it.

That is a beautifully maintained coach. On the outside.

god i love the sounds of detroits and brings back memories of my fire dept days

[robertmedina]

I got mad respect for you a guy your age working on buses like this? You gotta be tough as nails lol

[patrickb]

That bus looks show room clean! They sure take fantastic care of it.

[youdandee]

It’s amazing the shops that are there to Hoze you and just generate money for themselves .auto, truck,RV

[seagullsbtn]

All that extra boost triggered the new leaks, as the engine sweated power it hasn't had!

[PCMenten]

Seems like you’re doing more Prevost coaches lately. Good money for good work. 👍

[peterkaks]

Great job on the grading of the road up the hill .

Back in 1977 I travelled from Sydney to Perth and back by coach, it had a jimmy 8v92 and it sounded brilliant.
A round trip of approx 6 thousand miles

[andrewthomason]

That’s a good trick with the Shop Vac.

[RollinHomies]

Damn! Came up the hill like Andretti the second time!😆
The wrap turned out great 👍🏼

Nice bus. Great engine needed some TLC.
Dd shop you need a rebuild, 19k.
Shop said the chassis is leaking.
You said their head is leaking.
Spend as much as you can to get to bus grease monkey without spending more than the quote lol.

That chassis leaking was a real thing for my Chevy Blazer. They put in a wrong oil filter, watched it overnight and Said my chassis is leaking due to the remote oil filter.
The next day drive it down the block blew out the oil filter and blue the engine. This was a mechanic shop.
The phone call went to the carwash that performed the oil change and they said another one. They do oil changes to. But are not a registered motor vehicle repair shop in my state. They are allowed to change the oil. They messed up.

They had a junkyard engine put in and broke my fuel spider contractor clip. I had to get a new one.
I wish I just changed the oil and did what my mechanic recommended not someone who knew nothing about cars.
Nice video love to see the next fix.

That is one badass looking bus right there, very cool.
