Lots of hard work on this mci 5 vintage rv conversion. The jake brakes sound awesome. We almost T boned a car running a red light on the test drive

Wasn’t that crazy when the lady ran the red light and nearly got T-Boned by the bus?

Scott, that red light runner was a close call but once again you've made an RV bus safe, reliable and efficient! Thanks for who you are!

@BusGreaseMonkey was the reason we got into old coaches. Originally we found BGMs posts when I was showing my son, Vaughan (the guy with the rock and roll hair) videos about 2 stroke Detroit diesels as I rode in them in semis with my dad as a kid. At the same time I had an early 2000s class A pusher that was falling apart and I soon sold it for about 1/4 of what I had into it. After watching BGMs videos I decided to get an old converted bus. This is the very bus I found locally and these videos helped me find a good one near me. My wife and I love this bus. From the time I purchased it, I knew that I'd bring it to Scott to go over it as I'm reasonably mechanically inclined, but I had never worked on anything such as this. It turned into a father / son trip / learning experience that I'll never forget. Thank you @BusGreaseMonkey and family.

The rocks in the tire tread were fouling up Scott's diagnostic ear. One of the reasons he is so good. His professionalism would not allow it to slide until he could confirm and he he still had 2 or 3 more possible noise sources in mind.

Great video thank you for getting those brakes working good and just a suggestion for that air operated wiper try a few drops of air tool oil and see what happens oh my old timers kicked in I forgot to say the oil goes into the wiper motor at the air inlet. My suggestion for what it's worth.

An old joke: A co-worker of mine told me of how his brother, never, stops for stop lights. One day, I went with that co-worker in their car to go to lunch. We came to a green stop light and they, stopped. I said, “what are you stopping for, you have the green light!” My co-worker said, “yeah, but, my brother may be coming the opposite direction!”

Why not using /making a very beefy extension rod/pipe so you can torque the bolts from outside of the wheel arch instead of trying to morf yourself in there and being bearly strong enough because it is a log reach with your arm?
