The silver 92 V-8 Detroit Diesel holds a special place in my heart because my first job as a mechanic (18 years old) was for a steel cutting company that had a fleet of 8 tractor trailers 5 of them had the 92 V-8's. I learned how to drive a big rig in a truck with the 92 V-8 and I can tell you that these trucks had their oil changed with the correct oil sooner than recommended and every one of them had to be rebuilt/overhauled in less than 60,000 miles.

This is the first video that really made me feel the steepness of the hill.

Great test drive, can tell he's very pleased with the performance now. Good testament to doing the job right and the attention to detail. They will be beating a path to your door.

I like your client,a fearless man of few words.

That wanderlodge is going to be fun to drive again now.

Hello Scott, Newbe here........well been watchin the heck out of your videos for about three months. ..love your videos. I might have to buy one of these busses just to be able to come down and meet you when you get the RV pads set up, by the looks of it you are getting famous so you better put in at least 50 campin spots.......This is the first time I watched on the computer because we cant leave comments on my Roku TV so wanted to say love your work ...keep it up.

That was like 30 minutes of the most nervous laughter I've heard broken up with super awkward silence. I loved it! Nice rebuild.

Scot, as usual, you finessed another one!! The Wander lodge is an amazing beast.. My son has a much earlier (1980's) one, unfortunately with a CAT v-8..We're in North Carolina, & He wishes he had a DETROIT so he could visit you and at least have you look at his air suspension , Jacobs retarder and HWH units.. I turned him onto you & your brake info has helped him amazingly! He watches you religiously! You are the Bomb!!

That road towards the end really makes me wanna get my bike out! Lovley!

I like that the owner/driver is actually the co-pilot, Great team work!

You’ve made a sports car out of her! Great job! Great Bus!

Another old boy smart enough to use distilled water in his coolant mix. Restores my faith in humanity that does.

You are an amazing man. You keep so many buses on the road.

Great repair by the master bus mechanic 🧰

Incredible Moth Just a thing of beauty

She took that road about like my bus. Not bad at all for how damn heavy those are.

How lovely spring is making your part of the world - that was a really enjoyable drive😀

You are truly a gift to all of us that haven't a clue to your knowledge, thank you I am learning so much

Sounds fantastic folks .........WOW, what a difference.......

A great drive through the local countryside! Enjoyed the ride along perspective as the Wanderlodge got a workout.

Awesome video bro, the view out the front window shows how lovely spring is. Safe travels up your way

Another happy customer! Gosh I remember my old 83 Wanderlodge topped out at 65!! Of course she had an old 3208 in the front!

Crazy test drive! Beautiful country side! Enjoyed ever minute

Scott the back seat driver. lol He looked pretty comfortable and confident to me.

It sounds great! The TN countryside is beautiful in spring.

It's nice to watch a smart driver who pays attention to his equipment and surroundings.

"Cheater marks" are range marks on aircraft. Helps make the gauge scan go faster. Great idea!

I can't to wait to get out in mine. We sort of took last year off. Plans for this summer. They are such sweet coaches. Steel end to end (but for the 'caps')

amazing how that motor sounds good !! great job 😃

that engine just sounds soooo much better than it didn when it first arrived. Nice Work!!!

Nice to see hard work and skill pay off. That motor will run for many years.

Always nice to see a progression forward of a business.

I love the Wanderlodge’s! If we decide on a class A I will be looking at them as one of the few serious options.

Those Volvo 740 taillights look much better than most appropriated car units.

Wow what a nice scenic drive. All those hills and the hammer down would have done wonders for bedding in those new pistons and rings.

42:10 "the last 2 wanderlodges have really helped out with the budget for the shop". Yea. That they do.

Drifting in a Wanderlodge. Cool!

I love that cockpit! It's a masterpiece!

Great looking, now sweet running lodge.

Nice job Scott very beautiful country

I love the nice smooth roads...Another job well done.

Nice to see progress on all project's in hand

That was a Rosy Maple moth, thanks, it was kewl looking!

That thing sure is quiet,,,looks like it rides great also,,the gauge readings seem to be jam up and jelly tight,,,as my uncle used to say,,😍 stay safe Scott and keep those videos coming,,,☕️🍩🇺🇸🇺🇸

Nice work on the rebuild guys well done tons of work but we'll worth the effort it. Road test was cool Scott you sounded like you were having a couple white knuckle moments through it. Lol

that winding road goes through Beautiful Country .

When driving in the south its always a good idea to check up a rxr crossings.

Great job. If I ever retire and buy a nice MC 7 or 8, I'll be seeing you.

No one minds paying the Piper when the tune he has worked on is a sweet as this! If I’m ever in the position to purchase a MH with this engine, you will be the first stop in my journey.

Great sceneries, great roads!

Awesome job, guys ;) really great work.

Scott, if it flys it will scare the snot out of me” you are such a Girly Man...😂 i love it brother 😂😂😂

nice work on the Wanderlodge rv, keep the videos coming

Gauges, switches, lights all over the place! That looks more like the space shuttle than RV :)

I believe that's a rosy maple moth? according to Wikipedia

can you split the temp senders to two separate gauges [left bank . right bank] ?? so you keep a better eye on what is going on on each side of the engine !! looking good 👍👍👍👍

Might be me new favorite video on that winding road.

Wow the dogwood looks gorgeous

I love that dash cluster setup.

Great job on the rebuild. Your roads I'd rather be riding my Harly through your area on a sunny day 🤗🤗🤗 We are just North East of Nashville this week. Brrrrrr this Wednesday am.

Wish our Silversides could pull hills like that! Nice.

We have lots of silver leaf and red maple trees and these moths love them.

That test drive was very impressive! When you said your bus wouldn't accelerate up that hill like that, I just knew he was going to respond, "Well I know a good mechanic" lol oh well maybe he thought it! Lol

Man I thought I had a lot of play in my bus’s steering until I saw this guy drive

We used Bates engines that used to be in Centerville it was a long ride but worth it. Good folks out that way..

Yep! Rosy Maple Moth. Beautiful.

When I first seen it I thought someone had dropped their multicolored icecream cone. Cheers !

I have seen so much of your local roads now that I feel that I almost live there....

Thatis one smooth handling bus.

a great work out of the bus.

That bus is mint!!

Next on the list - a set of Jakes to help on the downhills!

Wow that sounds so good!!!!(Start up)

Buzzing around in a bus like that would be a lot of fun....

That last road home got the engine to use a lot more rev’s and deceleration. Good for it.,

Sweatin’ bullets on this ride...

Going to have to patreon it one of these days, love the footage on these builds but funds are little tight right now.

I've never heard of a _'poisonous'_ moth yet, I guess it's possible - lol Doesn't seem like anything pink and yellow would be scary - maybe it's the late, Easter, moth - that bus sounds good! Cheers-

Another fantastic job scott... Can you Say Professional...

Great ride & test drive but I'm pretty sure he was making the mechanic just a lil nervous 😓 with that lead foot! Lol never thought they needed a real view mirror..

Rosy Maple Moth. Very pretty!

Scott another great video!! The turbo - charging really does quiet the Detroit's down quite a lot w/ a good power boost Out of all engines powering buses, the old 2 stroke is the only one that has been mounted in so many different ways Inline, transverse,& pancake style ala the old Crown coach.The old Mack transit bus had a transverse mounted thermo- dyne w/ a torque converter. Scott, just kidding around you need an old self loading elevating paddle scraper Wabco 353ft model w/ front and rear 12 V-71T's for a big whopping 1050 h.p. A nice Tonka Toy to tinker with.Say that last line quickly 5 times.Ha Ha!! Best wishes for you and your family.

He's driving fine lol. I am the same way when I sit in the passenger seat but in reality there's usually nothing to worry about lol

Nerdy observation: Those rear light clusters sure look like those of a 1990-ish Volvo 740. Sweet end result. Bus ran great.

He did everything to make it a comfortable ride....😰🥸

Cool Video Engine rebuild a success !!!!

Might oughtta trim that tree at 5:38 before your juice goes out. Great job on the engine repair.

You do good work Scott,,,,,,,(Indy also,,),,😍

Great road for me Royal Star!

Seems it holds the road pretty well, especially for a taller vehicle, like a bus...

Very nice guys!

52.9 miles gate to gate. Early on was thinking the turtle should be replaced with a jack rabbit, but I've changed my mind. :-)

You made comments for a good 10 minutes or more of this drive that clearly told this owner that you were uncomfortable with the speed he was driving. You're a better man than I because after the second or third time saying something I'd have been done. Either he'd have let me drive or I'd have called for a ride. Does this guy have Rotoguard or anything like that on those steers in case of flat because if not there's no way in hell he could save this on those roads with no shoulders. Retired OTR Driver with 1mil+ safe miles here, so no I don't play when it comes to safety. I've seen far to many fatal accidents over the years to mess around...

Beautiful unit..........

For the size of that Wanderlodge, she was certainly accelerating pretty darn well..

Hey Scott a suggestion if you can run a sprinkler over the ground and let the water soak it in I don't know if you had that much rain but water helps that compact better as just a suggestion James T North Carolina when you're super fans

So you’re finally starting to work on DDEC buses ? Cool

Damn for a 2 stroke Detroit that thing is quite as hell

Nice video! That guy sure knows how to drive his bus! Some drivers you´ve recorded I woudn´t take a ride with :) Realy nice place you live in. Looks a lot like the area I live in Sweden. Except for the yellow line thoose country roads could be around here.

Moth is a small angel from God to see what your reaction is
