Scenicruiser bus rescue. Detroit Diesel 8v71 will it start? Retired greyhound bus.

Awesome portable solar power station that we used to charge the batteries. www.vigorpool.com
This bus had broken down about 8 years ago and got towed to this lot. We are attempting to resurrect it and drive it to Tennessee! Detroit diesel 8v71 1st start video.

Our Scout Troop rented a Super-SceniCruiser like this several times in the early 1970's for backpacking trips out in Wyoming and Colorado. Really a fun bus to travel in! We had a starter go out on it and I have a picture somewhere of 25 young scouts "push-starting" that big rig in Wall South Dakota! Great memories!

@@williamhilbert8324 Oh yeah, just replace and/or fix a few things and its gonna be great, thick steel everywhere that body and frame are still in decent condition, though thinner parts like the access panels might need some patch panels to stiffen them up and stop the wobble and flex. Just find any rust spots, clear the rust, weld a good thick patch and treat it with WD-40 corrosion inhibitor. This Greyhound is gonna live again hopefully, just needs some TLC, elbow grease and a spit-shine.

[@edwardcalvert]

I think that's so way cool to see a bus like this get started back up again after it hasn't run in years and be restored or turned into a recreational vehicle. Thing is I have never riden on a Scenicruiser though I have riden Greyhound buses before and the most familiar to me are the MCI m-9's. I also really liked sound of the engine in this nice old bus. It appears there's hope and a better tomorrow for this nice old bus.

[@donmoore7785]

It was great to see you guys out on the road saving another bus. Sorry to hear that you had a terrible experience getting the tires swapped - I have had troubles a few times with a shop I relied on, but it was for a single tire. I can only imagine that the competency of the mechanics turned out to be subpar. It amazing to see you guys tear into a fuel system, air system, etc on the fly.

[@midcenturymodern9330]

23:17 "Fuel pump running, George?" George with the cigarette answers "yes." 😄 Good thing you guys don't work on gasoline engines! But seriously, this piece of American iron still has a lot of life left in it. Silversides and Scenic Cruisers are my favorite buses. Thank you for saving this beast!

[@richardw.foxhall3392]

In addition to your tools and Tyler's dually, maybe you guys could get a service truck and do your own tires and rims. Lots of hoses need swaging as well, maybe a hydraulic swagger as well to really increase your repair capabilities. Once the truck is outfitted it can be used right outside of the shop, too. Then you're mobile, and able to do that stuff at "home"too. I really enjoyed the rescue video. First vid of yours I found was you in the engine compartment of a twin DETROIT motor cruiser, was immediately interested, and enjoyed your no nonsense approach to solving the problems you encountered... and then I realized that you were staying in your own bus ( Lenny of course). How intriguing, been hooked ever since. Good on ya for helping out that guy at the pumps, good people all of you. Good to watch.

Looks like it will be a good home for the owner. I started as an owner operator in 1970 and retired in 2010. In my opinion, these service truck stops pay such a low wage that the worker is uneducated in the work required and so the finished product becomes sub-par at best. I always carried the proper tools, a good tire and my faithful 20 ton jack that I still have in the garage. This is why I enjoy watching good qualified people doing exceptional work.

My 80 year old father had a wheel bearing go out on a utility trailer late at night and rolled into one of these tire shops. They weren’t busy and my dad offered the kid a couple hundred dollars to take care of it. I’ll give the kid credit, he didn’t take my dad’s money but instead admitted he didn’t know how to do it. Dad ended up uncoupling, going to Walmart and Lowes for tools and then Napa for the bearing and did it himself.

Awesome work on the doors. It was a skill to drive the GM oldlooks. Some cities didn’t even have a mirror on the right side. You had to set your inside mirror to look out the passenger windows. For the most part you drove in the curb lane only. Sometimes it f you had a standing load. By there being no turn signals on the side. You only had a front and rear. You hit the signal and if you needed to get over . You would ease your way to ver in the right lane. As long as you didn’t hear car horns or brakes screeching you were ok to come over. If you heard those noises. Stay back in the outer lane. Try again further down the road.

GM also built coaches to an EXTREMELY high quality standard. I remember when we got brand-new Gillig Phantoms in my city bus service, and how bitterly disappointing they were compared to the 30 year old GM city buses. The GM buses glided over broken concrete pavement. The Gilligs rattled and crashed into the bump stops. There were bad things about the old GM buses too -- 100% of GM buses ever put in service would have benefited from having twice as many gears in the transmission, and from outside, those buses were deafeningly loud and spewed filthy exhaust. Heaven for the passenger, hell for the pedestrian.
