Driving 1947 gm bus from Indy to MN during fall season to work on 4103 gm bus detroit diesel 671

Long day. No issues with the bus. All driving and one quick bus tour at the end. Gm bus 4103 detroit diesel 671 silversides 3751

[@ramboy17]

I could watch videos like this for hours.

[@andrewbartleman9169]

Yeah I can fall asleep to the sound of detroits running full out on the freeways

[@robertborchert932]

Brilliant, Scott! I have to wonder how many drivers can appreciate how cool it is, being passed by a classic Greyhound Silversides. Love it, man! Such a beautiful piece of American history.

[@stewtube1240]

Awesome! Cruising down the old interstate ...passing everyone in a 1947 Bus ....the Detroit justa singin ! Luv it !!!!

[@bolone3]

I'd love to see the faces of the truck drivers when you go screaming by in that time capsule!! 😂😂😂 Have a save trip and thanks for all the great videos.

[@robertwenzell9510]

Lenny is sounding great,nice and "throaty "..

[@galeschmidt3016]

Back in the 60s and 70s we had Macks for dump trucking. some of the guys we worked with had Detroits and we called them converters. They converted fuel to noise.

[@highlysuggestible861]

Brilliant. These road trip videos are my favorites, I can't tell you how much I enjoy watching America slowly rolling by. All the best from NZ.

[@Aaron-cz5tz]

The exhaust sounds perfect!!

[@rickharper1497]

Yes, The bus sounds good

[@BeigeAlert]

The "welcome to Wisconsin" signs are a few miles in from the border because we want to make sure you are *serious* before we welcome you! :)

[@chrisjohnson4666]

Its an attempt to confuse the IL people maybe they turn around...

[@Captionmarvelous]

PA used to have a sign just as you entered the state that indicated the different fines you would incur for each 10 MPH over the speed limit. I used to pick out what fine I thought I could afford and drive at that speed. I think a lot of people did the same and the signs came down...Maybe it wasn't the safest way to drive but I was much younger then and thought I knew everything!

[@keitht7546]

Sounds like a new Bus and you are traveling with perfect weather other than the wind The colors of the trees are great Stay warm up there ✌🏽

[@mdouglaswray]

I like your camera placement in the bus! Great to see the whole view and you driving. Broadcast tv never had this much reality. Thank you BGM!

[@actereighty4776]

The best video of being on a tour bus traveling the highways. Feel like I am on the bus heading to a casino.

[@JohnUftring]

Loving the 4103! My wife and I own 4103-125 so watching you walk around it and then a quick look inside was nice. Love how original the drivers area is. Looking forward to this series.

[@jaquigreenlees]

@14:34 you see a high viz orange work truck on the shoulder, just before you ask Kelly if she saw anything to cause the semi to swerve to the left.

[@markaoslo5653]

@Scott - On replay (don't know if you saw it in editing) 14:34 an orange utility truck on the shoulder, is briefly visible - That _"fu*k tard"_ probably should have made motions sooner, though. Otherwise, it was legit... Just thought I would group with Jaqui, for this instance. Cheers-

That Greyhound runs like a top! Quiet and smooth on the highway even in challenging conditions. Great video.

I have to say I thoroughly enjoy your videos the year country scenes when you did good cruising along down from the road from one place to another the different repairs to do and I'm the old vintage buses brother like that have a blessed day seared on the next video

When you put that turbo on Lenny, the chrome on the front of the bus is gonna turn blue!

Wow! Lenny rocks!! No lack for power. It's probably never been this fast even when it was new.

[@dougsmith6896]

WOW !!!! Screeming meme's Scott. Is there anything your bus can't pass. Just love that Detroit whining away on the governor. What a thrilling trip you gave us !! Cheers, Dg

[@hardies1]

Welcome to Minnesota Scott and Kelly. It's cool to know that you are just a few miles away from me working your magic on some vintage buses.

[@siaripop7]

Scott.... Just think about it, one day you will have someone writing a little note, just like they did for Lee Smith. "Scott Cosby was a traveling bus mechanic that dedicated many decades of service to keep the two-stroke diesel engines and classic buses on the road. At 70, Scott has finally retired but still tinkers around with buses at his son Tyler's shop. He isn't allowed to go on road trips with Tyler, says Kelly; the only road trip is when we go to Florida for the winter!"

[@zuluwars2996]

Love the ride along today guy's just beautiful - Lenny is much quieter inside although I miss that roar of her exhaust just a little bit. Thank you both for sharing your adventures.

I notice that you don't spend much time in the right lane - and judging from your rear camera, you're not holding anyone up in the left lane! Lenny should be called a "silver streak" instead of silversides - ha!

Wow Scott, 600+ miles with one stop in a vintage coach is impressive. I use to do a 520 mile run over four mountain passes with seven stops, exhausting. 4103's are rare, nice to see GHL livery. Good luck.

I absolutely hate Lenny’s new exhaust system, myself I was digging the Screaming Jimmy sound it brought me back my days driving a truck and Detroit Diesels roamed the highways, by-ways, and the super slabs of this great land and sang out there tune thru mufflerless pipes. But Lenny is your bus so it’s your prerogative on what kind of exhaust system he has exhale through. Long live the 2 stroke diesel and there sweet sound.

Jay McKean yeah i heard a pop or something when the rig he was passing couldn’t get over because he was beside him

[@christopherrasmussen8718]

I wish I could drive Lenny for a day. I just did a 500 mile (about 10 hours) one day trip in my BlueBird and it was hard as hell. I was in Florida traffic so that might have been a big part of it. It did not look that busy on your trip. As soft and cushy as my Wanderlodge is, I wonder how much harder it is on the driver than your silver side. Next long trip for me is no longer than 4 or 5 hours. We can dry camp in a second. Just take longer.

[@ItsAlwaysRusty]

[@johnverge4693]

You got that Silverside to the wind....Outrunning semis and Bekins Trucks..Reminds me of the casino days of the late Ruby & Robert Swader`s buses on Fridays and Sundays from 2000-2006 & 2008.

I can say that I am amazed the difference in performance since Joe worked his magic. Lenny is running strong and still sounds good with the new muff. My interest now is that turbo you keep talking about, I hope you have some grade 12 head bolts to install. 😜 The oldest vehicle I have is a 1949 CHEVROLET DeLuxe, delux means it has a factory heater. Thanks for the ride, I would never have gotten to ride in a 47 silver sides bus.

[@desertbob6835]

Korean War 03! Now that brings back many memories...driven a few of these in the 800 series that were delivered to PGL in '53. Not the best GM Coach ever, body lean in wind and in turns was bad, but easy to work on. Most of my 4103 miles were on ex Trailways '52 or '53 vintage or the lone 1950 4102. I did drive some on an ex-TNM&O '51 03 with silversides...but the crank broke going up Redlands grade, and that was that!
