Vintage Newell RV recap & test drive video! Amazing improvement in handling, braking, cooling & air

[@bubbafringman1864]

Love to see an older Newell brought back to life. These classics deserve to be respected.

[@lostonwallace1396]

Wow. That was one gummed-up radiator. I love that Scott takes a test ride with his customers. That shows faith in his work, and a willingness to truly dial-in any outstanding problems that might still be lurking with the buses. That's the kind of personal service that is needed to know that a bus has been properly serviced.

[@lostonwallace1396]

@Mr Pug Yeah. I did. It was terrible!

[@AlisonFort]

Must be very rewarding, helping out a couple like that❤

[@BusGreaseMonkey]

They were awesome to work with. It’s hard to find a shop that will work on these old vintage vehicles and take the time to go through inspections of components very thoroughly

[@tourefoster6603]

That’s the first Newell coach I’ve seen on your channel. I like the old Newell’s cool looking bus! Run and sounds nice too.

[@patbullard9276]

Fine work. It would make me feel very secure to know that you and your team had made my coach all that it should be.

[@nojnoj3069]

You are the man! You keep the good folks moving on down the road... Excellent.

[@silasmarner7586]

You did a great job Scott, Tyler and team. Hopefully the owner won't take a hands off approach, and check various items he can easily see in the future.

[@outabeat]

Thats one of those repairs where you finally just get it done and you're amazed at how the vehicle rides and drives. Then you realize that you had forgotten how nice it was when you first bought it.

[@heartland96a]

If it ever was proper before , many have bought very badly maintained units an assumed it was normal when it wasn't

[@patpat9510]

I am glad that they didn't let the bus over heat. That radiator core was plugged solid. Sure is in good shape now. Excellent fixes and its safe and reliable for the owners. Wicked nice looking bus they have. It's nice to know they are driving it to dream destinations without problems.

[@jonathanodell8854]

Is it just me or is this one quiet bus for its age and smooth too!

[@robinengland5799]

Y'all are a blessing to the bus community for sure! Y'all do awesome work! Its great to see someone go above and beyond in there job.

[@KevinNorris-ke5fx]

Love these classic rvs

[@siaripop7]

Beside the ride you improved greatly, this RV has the best shifting I've heard in some time, super smooth! First time I've heard of a Newell!

[@holdenbrougham1056]

Always love a happy customer, impressive engine power , especially grabbing 3rd gear up hill in drive way from standing start

[@LaLaLand.Germany]

What a pretty thing! The dash and paint are so beautiful- what a nice bus, they can be proud of it. Lovely.

[@christopherrasmussen8718]

We parked next to a mid 80 Newell 2 years ago. That owner remodeled the whole coach. Pre wide body era. Narrow but easier to navigate. Then I saw one like this in Kansas. 17,000$ and told it drive anywhere. I didn’t believe that for a second and I heard the new owner made it 300 miles till something stopped it. You did good like always and I’m sure they will have the coach they dreamed of when they bought it, now. Fair seas and may the wind be at your back.

[@backcountryboondockers]

Everyone loves a good mechanic and these guys are some of the best

[@Torsee]

Newall’s are truly pretty bus’s! The owner must feel like he just bought a brand new bus!

[@davidowen888]

Awesome repairs by you and your crew at the Bus Grease Monkey!!! I love when your clients faces hurt from grinning!

[@johnny22single99]

ABSOLUTELY----> AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!. 🙂

[@ralphcolerick4939]

big improvement on the driveway and a great job on the Newell!!

[@JB-mn2gu]

Nice looking Newell , now back to almost new.

[@mikenonameneeded3485]

Awesome work. Hats off to your whole team

[@AMStationEngineer]

@03:44, your client's dentist should consider placing an ad!, that's one helluva "side profile smile", and the best advert you could ever get, Scott, let alone his dentist!! While I'll forever be a motorcoach enthusiast, I've gained a sincere respect for those whose lifestyles have been 'modified' to include these "Motor-Yacht CAPTAINS!" All the best!!

[@stephenjenner484]

That's a nice bus! Sounds beautiful 😊

[@KevinNorris-ke5fx]

THAT thing runs great wow

Nice work Scott, looked like it had a lot of problems when you first got it, great job …

It's a brand new bus !

It’s beautiful.

Great stuff ! well done guys, very nice RV & especially enjoyed the radiator work.

[@carlv8168]

Excellent job, Scott!

[@powertech7680]

Love to see the old classics come back to life I am looking to get a bus to convert it into living but I am in Indiana muncie area and did not where to go if anyone can point me in the right way I would be grateful

[@drop7vogue]

I wish you could take a look at my bus... Do you want to come in France? 😅 Full support, always a pleasure and very interesting to watch your videos!

[@lloydrobinson7081]

keep the clips coming

[@bill8582]

Love those 80s Newells

[@sw7366]

I understand that new bus 😁 Way to go!

[@scottbaker1018]

The HILLBLY DYNO is the schizz..good job

[@wallacegrommet9343]

The elimination of silicates from modern coolant has cured the deposit formation issue.

[@bill8582]

Man, I wish I could bring you my coach, and let you give it the once over.

[@nickmcnellis3937]

Awesome!

[@avail1.]

very nice GM 🦦

[@FB-111A]

These videos are so neat

[@CJLeTeff]

When are you going to do a refurbish/polish on your old bus? I’m sure your subs would love to see the old girl looking fresh again. 👍👍🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@rickl6697]

Awesome Scott!

[@KenmareVintageVehicles]

He really needs to lock that transmission in low gear climbing that steep driveway. Really should be manually shifting those heavy duty automatics to keep them in their “gear range” during regular driving as well. Saves the transmission and saves the engine.

[@pcspecialistpdx]

It sounded like it had lots of power to spare climbing up your hill.

[@ericheld4382]

Newell's are some of the better built coaches.

[@knoester7714]

A very good job.

[@deanh7190]

Too bad you didn't document the changes to the HGH indicator on the dash. I bet she got a real break after the improvements were made.😉🤣 ( HGH = Hula Girl Hips). Kidding aside, excellent job.

[@wesleyc3846]

😂😂😂😂

[@TimothyMichaels]

😁

[@northwoodsguy1538]

Great job.👍

[@LORFCASTER]

Surprised how little i heard the turbo. Did this bus get a tune up, valve adjustment, exhaust path sealing, or confirmed throttle position can reach 100% ? Hmmm, all these different looking older buses, and yet they all sound the same ...does a specialist live near by ? :o... what some of the town might be thinking

[@bobscott9253]

One request…please state the gas/diesel prices each time you drive by:)

[@josephalberta1145]

160 would be very cool for my bus. My series 60 easily runs 190 or more at 70 F. Maybe the 2 strokes are made to run cooler.

[@BusGreaseMonkey]

180 is normal operating temp.

[@timaz1066]

Man how Newells have changed.

[@BusGreaseMonkey]

Cars built in the 80’s are different than today’s cars too.

[@timaz1066]

@@BusGreaseMonkey yep yep

[@billintexas7061]

Another great job extending the life of a classic! You guys really are special and make my day every time I watch your videos. Keep up the good job guys!

[@Qrail]

A radiator in the rear. Please comment on that. I had a Dutch Star with a radiator on the left side like a 4106. You don’t see modern buses built that way, but motorhomes of that era seemed to have that option. Don’t rear radiators suffer from more dirt, and poor circulation?

[@tomtheplummer7322]

💪🔧🤷‍♂️😎. Bless🙏🏻 y’all. Just rolled in is laughing. Those Van life folks are messed up. 😱😰🤯🥶

[@irongoatrocky2343]

Im hearing a high pitch whistling sound on the audio.......what is that?

[@marksmith-ew7ir]

One more bus safe on the road

[@wirekat]

Who wouldn't be happy after a visit to the Bus Grease Monkey?

[@Jameson4327]

If I may ask, what can they do to ensure the radiator stays open and clean? Would you say a radiator flush once a year?

[@BusGreaseMonkey]

Distilled water and the right coolant for a 92 series and it sho be good for another 30 years

[@southothehighway]

I would guess hosing down the outside with evaporator cleaning foam. It was pretty caked with dirt when it got to the BG Mountain.

[@kenore4003]

Are the 92 series a wet sleeve engine?

[@BusGreaseMonkey]

Yes

[@timf6916]

Nice

[@TheGeorgiaMediaGroup]

A lot of play in steering wheel. ?

[@markgilmore6592]

Love the way it sounds, question; what type of license does a person need to drive a bus like this ?

[@BusGreaseMonkey]

In most states just a regular drivers license. Rv’s are usually exempt from weight and air brake requirements

[@markgilmore6592]

@@BusGreaseMonkey okay thank you and keep those videos coming you guys are great to watch 👀

[@GtrPknMama]

🎶😎👍🏼🎶Sweet!

[@heartland96a]

What was the air pressure before the compressor was replaced for comparison?

[@peterbeyer5755]

What is that paste and what caused the blockages, it might be worthwhile using only filtered water and coolant.

[@kenore4003]

I always run distilled water with coolant. Deionized would be better as it won't oxidize metal.

[@Blazer02LS]

Without going through all your videos could I ask if there is one or more brands to just stay away from entirely, either because they were poor build quality, parts are NLA or other major issue? I've been thinking of a vintage bus 70s - early 90's maybe.

[@hotpuppy1]

Proper maintenance is the issue with all makes though it looks like MCI has more rust than others if driven in the salt belt a lot during their working life. The frames of the body were mild steel square tubing. Spend the money for a good inspection by someone actually qualified to inspect a bus. Don't buy a bus unless you have the thousands of $ to spend to fix all the deferred stuff that wasn't fixed or fixed right.

[@Blazer02LS]

@@hotpuppy1 Being in NY I'm used to rust but don't really want to replace 1/2 the steel in a rig along with other repairs. I'm used to working on fire equipment and one of the things there is that they will use some odd part that the supplier had 200 on the rack and when you need a replacement they no longer exist. I ended up making a complete gauge package for one engine when the fully integrated pump display failed and the company that made it no longer exists!

[@johnmilner6484]

Wow...that thing was a mess

[@mitchmills8967]

Been a mechanic for 50 years my question is always the same,,, how can people drive their vehicles in SUCH bad condition.

[@fw1421]

Why didn’t this bus have sway bars? Seems to me it would handle so much better.

The dual shocks do a great job
