Yes!

Been dealing with some family member health issues that’s put the kibosh on life for the last 5 months. I’m hoping for another bus trip in august, got some repairs to make first.

@@ThisOldBus We took the bus to a lake last weekend (200 miles round trip), then the ocean in 2 weeks. We're hoping to take it to Missouri and Texas in September. I hope your family member gets better soon.

@@ThisOldBus awesome!😎

Things are starting to get back to normal. Supposed to be going to Alaska again in a couple weeks. I have been 3 or 4 times since December dealing with some family stuff. I have a couple major issues to deal with on the new bus before it’ll be ready to roll, which is likely going to be in august.

Yeah I was wondering if the act of simply replugging things would have fixed it. I saved the old connector just in case. Disgrace that they had it 2 months without fixing that.

@@ThisOldBus They obviously didn't look at the bus signal with a scope or they would have seen the corrupt data and traced it down or realized the termination resistor was open. Thanks Scott.

If this wasn’t the fix I would have needed to break out the oscilloscope myself. The location of the termination resistors isn’t documented anywhere, though. I was concerned the termination might have been inside one of the computers at an end of the bus and not externally accessible.

@@ThisOldBus They are in certain modules. The best way to check is across the 2 wires for 60 OHMS. You got this though so awesome repair!

I got it from Luke at US coach in NJ

If you’re talking about the big heavy steering gear that sits on top of the axle I have some notes but NOT a high level of confidence in these: 492ap-1 ours is changed to 492sdw5a as possible numbers

That’s one of our favorite areas to visit. Been talking about going back recently. Not sure which park has the tree house, you mean the one in the redwoods from another trip? Thanks for watching and see you on the road!

Not me, but the latest issue is CAN bus C errors on our jeep. We’re not the only ones… it’s been in the dealer for 2 weeks now for the 2nd time.. I think Jeep is going downhill now unfortunately.

Thanks!

Hi jeff, this video was shot before thanksgiving and I was finally able to edit and post it. I’ve still been dealing with a sick family member and have done very little on our buses.

About a half day or more depending on how much you stop. Easily doable in the summertime with the long days. Be mindful of the time zone and hours that the border is open, it is not 24 hrs a day and there may be a timezone change involved if you are cutting it close.

Perhaps, but we have dogs so the easy cleanup is more important to us.

Nope - been in Alaska helping a elderly sick relative since dec 27th.

That’s where I set my warning, over 200 is cause for concern, 210 you might be looking at engine damage, 215-220 you almost certainly have ruined it. I want to start making other plans at 195, 200 you better be pulling over and letting her cool off (I’ve never had to do that, but I will be downshifting or looking for the crest of the hill). They like to run cool and there isn’t a lot of room for error. 185 is normal operating temp on these old 2-stroke Detroit’s. They will make a lot of heat pulling a grade, cooling system needs to be in good working order, and if you turn up the power the cooling system needs upgrade too. Series 60 probably different and has computers to keep things in check.

Howdy, must be cold there now. I’m currently in anchorage and it’s barely below freezing. If everything works out, I will be back this summer and making the trip over to Dawson again.

@@ThisOldBus it’s very cold, more than minus 40, I think I’ll live here for 2 years😊😊🖐🖐🖐

Our first bus was a 4107 before we had a KZbin channel. They have the same engine stock, so no more power. Bigger bays on a 4107. The drawback of a 4107 is they used dissimilar metals on more of the bus and many of them will have corrosion in the skin unless perhaps they’ve been stored inside most of their lives. The 4106 only has steel in the front around some of the windows, which is also a common corrosion area, but on the 4107 they used steel and aluminum on the sides too.

@@ThisOldBusThanks for such a detailed response Scott

Nothing’s wrong with the old 4106, the new one has a roof raise and a floor plan that we like better that feels more roomy and functional.

@@ThisOldBus Got it, we just didn't understand the purchase reason. Dr. Barnes

Old bus is here, so now we have 2. Will probably sell old bus later this year when we are ready. New bus does have more pep, but mechanic doesn’t understand why. I think the cams are different.

No that’s a diesel generator

@@ThisOldBus Okay thanks

Yes

Late June - early July

Thanks 👍
