[@cameronbaker6885]

Hey Taylor, some advice from a heavy tech. If them lines are either bit loose (or any future line) tie your new line to your old one or a rope and start pulling. Usually in buses that “trough” holds everything but the lines and electrical shouldn’t be cinched down anywhere. I also have fittings on hand and usually put a male/male fitting to make one big line and then start pulling that way, it won’t be easy but in the world where a customer wouldn’t be happy with the “leave it solution” it usually works! Hopefully you get what I’m putting down. You’ve helped me in the past hopefully I can pass some knowledge🤙🏻

[@warrenmichael918]

I was thinking the same thing,,,until i got a peek at the past 30 plus years of extra wiring and hose routing!! LOL I bet that would be a nightmare trying to pull new lines through that web of evil.

This is what I was gonna say too! It's worth a try at least. If not, they can go with their current plan on routing the new lines. Id rather them go where the current ones are personally!

[@liamfoley4452]

2 things Taylor. (1) to fix the hose length/fitting issue you may be able to get a mobile hydraulic line company fix them in place. (2) your local Cummins dealer should be able to sort out the generator and or at least be able to point you in the proper direction. Best of luck with it my friend. Love to see it

[@rickymoore3944]

Same, the length of that line hanging down with the adapter makes me nervous...drive over some branches and pop goes the line.

[@danieldoroff6723]

For the generator service, just go look up your local Cummins service center. They are actually equipped to handle a rig of that size, and usually they have at least a tech or 2 that know their way around those rv generators.

[@Warcity777]

Something to think about most new rv's that have generators is they are on a slide tray so they are easier to maintain with your skills that could be a really simple project.

[@rsv8935]

I agree & as a large vehicle technician I have also seen batteries on coaches & R.V's mounted like that.

[@stevenc22]

Maybe someone with a portable hydraulic line crimper can swing by and you can cutoff the excess 8ft and crimp on the correct fitting!

[@TrinomCZ]

And cut the line to length, once it's properly routed.

[@MrSpaz12]

Get sliding trays for that Gen set and batteries. Makes life so much easier when you have work on that stuff.

[@JoltingS14]

Just grab some JIC field servicable fittings and cut those ones off. They work very similar to AN compression fittings. I use them for the power steering on my S14, so I can make lines on the fly at the track if I have an issue.

[@alwaysworking7899]

Highly recommend the buying the tool to crimp the lines and you cut them to length and crimp new ends on and have them the perfect size.

Hey Taylor! You might want to move the Nitrous Bottles on the top shelf of your storage. If they fell and busted the valve, you would have a missle.

He mentioned this, his thoughts if a nitrous bottle does explode he’ll catch it in midair and quickly strap it to the Miata and send it..😝

Do the bottles not come with safety caps like other cylinders of gas? The ones that thread on covering the valve completely? I almost had a serious incident where the an argon tipping over off ghe back of a welder right next to me. Luckily only the regulator broke but when I saw it fall and heard the hissing I bout shit myself. And no i couldn't have done anything to prevent it i was on a forklift doing something else and the idiot pulled the welder away from me without the safety chain on it. Dude was a total tool lol

[@rsv8935]

I have encountered idiots like that also.

[@reliant_turbo]

Nice job! those lines are long enough, you could back the bus into a hydraulic fitting shop and have them cut and recrimp fittings onto them and the correct sizes so that you dont have to use adapters and also have a more reasonable length.

[@RileyMonthule]

Would highly recommend throwing some li time Lifepo4 batteries in there or battle born if you can swing it. They'll last for decades and if you put 2 of their 460ah batteries in place of the current ones you'll be able to run the ac all night without the generator plus you'll have 6,000 watts of output so you could run a welder with ease. A day of research on fellow youtubers Will Prowse's page and forms will teach you how to do it. Loving this build!

You need to put that geni in a sliding rack for easier service and put the batteries in it too. Terminal blocks and longer wires and extended hoses, could be a fun side quest as well if you gotta run it in the summer you can put it outside and not add unwanted engine heat to the living area gets the noise out too if it’s a bit much. Could have attach the stock hose to new hose with fittings and maybe dragged it through and they’d still be in the stock area up n out of the way and you could have bought new tools to make those type of lines! Also you fave us a shop build series that has been amazing what about a bus rebuild/update video?

[@jeffv3296]

I’m not a car guy, but I’m really enjoying this series about the acquisition and the evolving of this car hauler RV bus. I find it interesting. I honestly had no idea that the wiring on a rig like that would seem to be so random and borderline messy. I always assumed that custom coaches were built in a way that maximized their organization and took into account accessibility when it comes to future servicing and repair. My assumptions certainly seem to be way off

[@BLKMGK4]

Check out Bus Grease Monkey's channel. WhileTaylor's bus is a bit of a mess you wouldn't believe some of the other crazy stuff on the road - you'll steer far clear of private coaches on the road when you find out how bad some of them are! I REALLY wish Taylor would do a colab with BSG and get this rig checked over and be brought up to speed on its maintenance. It almost certainly needs some work he doesn't realize on its suspension or steering...

[@unathandavis]

I been a diesel mechanic for the last 15 years on buses. Listen. If you wanna get lines off easily. Get u an air chisel with a variable trigger and use a soft metal bit like brass. And tap tap tap away it will easily break free. You're welcome!

[@keithdatSKRdrift]

Starting the gen is easiest if you preheat for 15-25 seconds before first cold start. (15 seconds when ambient temp is closer to 100, 25 when ambient is closer to 30) Also, your fuel/water separator could be part of your issue, condensation is a huge issue with diesel RVs, and the most common thing to impede the engine or the generator. Generally speaking, Your f/w separator should be changed every time you change your oil, looks like it may have been skipped for the generators last service.

[@keithdatSKRdrift]

These diesel generators are set to operate at a set rpm, and only produce energy at that rpm. IE; energy load doesn’t fluctuate rpm like it does with smaller gas gens. I say that to say, if your generator is fluctuating in rpm, there’s an engine issue, and that, in combination with how dirty the f/w separator is is pointing me towards first replacing the fuel/water separator before doing a bunch more likely unnecessary work.

[@jeepsterdaddy37]

​@@keithdatSKRdriftmade it sound more like a generator section problem being that he doesn't have even voltage coming out of the legs. My keyboard saying you might have a broken wire or I could possibly be corroded I'm worst case scenario is the generator section is possible just wore out. I was a generator technician for 5 years and I've been doing mobile RV / coach repair for almost 10 years. All that being said it is very hard to diagnose a problem like what he is having if you're not there. What you're saying I don't see that giving him different voltages on each line

[@jjtiger7707]

You should get some solar on top of the bus to help with the batteries

[@sirmonkey1985]

think that's his plan but solar panels ain't cheap and personally not a huge fan of putting holes in the roof. that stuffs hard to keep from leaking if the bus is in direct sunlight a lot.

As far as the bus being low. When I used to work on MCI's, we would drive the dual wheel drive axles up on ramps then use bottle jacks to raise the body up so it's easier to roll around under the bus to grease and change fluids.

[@deadpixelmedia3171]

i know that bus is an older chassis, but usually they have a service channel down the middle either under or inside the belly bays that makes running things the length of the bus alot easier.

[@G-USA]

Could have connected the new power steering lines to the old ones and used the old ones as a pull string to route the new ones. “In theory”

[@XCseb]

So I do a lot of work on long enclosures class 8 trailers as well as trucks. I’ve done what you did and run new lines I’ve also cut access panels in tunnels like that in conjunction with connecting new lines to the old and pulling. That being said you’re done, the only thing I might do is switch the hoses to adapters we use Parker or a hydraulic hose shop for fittings like quickly. As far as future working on them go to harbor freight and get a few 22 ton bottle jacks air over hydraulic are the best. Also buy a 1” impact (I runs an ingersoll) and 1/2” hose because eventually you’re going to have to pull wheels and you’re going to want the right tools for that. Lastly build a set of hard wood ramps to gain height to get under safely and easily, checking brakes is a good thing to do. Just my .02 in doing heavy duty repair for the past 10 years. But keep on keeping loving the content.

[@dzzope]

Just wondering if you considered electric steering pump(s), so it just needs power to it and you can eliminate the pump and all the lines from the engine? Also, would love to see you build a tray drawer or something and clean up the Gen/bat bay.. roll in roll out with minimal effort and much cleaner on the wire nest you got at the moment. Come think of it, if it didn't eat too much space, it would make loading tyres and such much easier too, slide it out, stack em on and slide it back in. Set of bolt cutters would help get the old line out much easier (or most of it)

[@MoondyneJoe]

Taylor, I have been using a couple of 470 a/h agms for about 8 years now but mine are inside my house hooked into a hybrid solar wind generator system as a supplement for my 6.6kw grid tie solar When I started to install the bloody heavy batteries I decided that I didn't like that amount of weight sitting on the pallet I had put them on (it was cut down to appropriate size to keep them of the cold concrete floor that can effect charge retention.) I decided that the support of foam that came with each of them on the bottom was there for a good reason so I also (as it was the right size) put it under each battery for added support and insulation, I would suggest that as you are putting them in the bus it might be a good idea even just for added padding as you travel it won't cost you anything and might save a fortune, (my 2 where 1500$ for the both 8 years ago) Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺

a trick for turning the wheels - take a garbage bag, a heavy-duty drum liner, fold it over a ton of times and spray between the folds with oil or grease. lay them down and drive the front tires over them, and you can turn left and right as much as you want. this is how i did alignments on big trucks, it's not as good as having the floating plates on an alignment rack but it makes it way easier.

[@Joe___R]

You should consider getting a hydraulic hose crimper for your shop. A manual version is only about one thousand dollars. The floor inside the bus likley lifts out to access the center where all the factory lines are run. They knew things would have to be worked on in the future and would make the center box accessible.

[@BLKMGK4]

It's a conversion, I wouldn't assume any such thing based on some of the things I've seen on Bus Grease Monkey lol

[@LisaMedeiros-tr2lz]

Taylor, for filling oil into tight spaces (differentials, or like you PS reservoir), get yourself one of those $15 hand-held garden sprayers online or at Wally world; the kind you manually pressurize by pumping it up, and the you can cut the hose that goes to the spray wand. You can use it like that, but to cut off the oil flow once full, I add a ball valve to the line. This works good for any oil up to 140W. Better than using those expensive squeeze containers for gear oil.

[@P-J-W-777]

On some of those buses the floor can be removed in certain areas and that will give you access to the trough.

@@rsv8935 I’m just big on keeping things very clean and organized and would have definitely ran the new lines in the hose trough as well as removed the old lines. Depending on the coach design if it were a design that was a bit more difficult I would have ran a backup set with the ends plugged for emergencies.

Well one thing I might recommend when doing fluid changes is make an adapter with a shut off valve for the fill ports, Vacuum pump the lines like you do for an A/C system. and stick a tube in the fluid your trying to fill back up. Make fluid changes take the time to change be mostly the time to drain plus a few minutes.

Would be great to see a Lithium battery/solar project on the bus. Would reduce or eliminate the need for the generator.

[@ttypewe4jim]

One other tip for filling up a tight access point is drill a small hole in a oil jug, and also a hole into the cap then feed a hose in, take your blow nozzle and force a bit of air into the container youll then start filing the tank up.

[@Noahh_jp]

I guess my only question would be, how come you didnt tie the new line to the end of the old line and pulled it through so it was in that covered channel? I guess there is always a possibility of having it being bolted in, but is worth a shot instead of drilling holes into your bus.

[@CraaaigV302]

I was thinking the same. that would of been the first thing I would of tried before routing the lines a different way and I wouldn't of left the old lines in there

[@chrishiggins1811]

May I say you guys are doing a fantastic job but with them battery’s why not make up a battery draw slide so it’s easier to get them in and out when needed, with the generator put that on a slide too so it’s easier to slide in and out

Use a Harbor Freight hand pump to transfer fluids from jug to reservoir next time. Also, use a solvent sprayer to clean the old fluids off when you’re “done and dusted” that’ll reduce the amount of road grime build up.

Congratulations on fixing the bus.

[@tripod6406]

Taylor, when it comes to the power steering, instead of running the lines down the entire bus frame, why not put an electric pump at the front of the bus and have two short lines with a bladder for the power steering fluid, surely that would be a better long term fix. That way if it goes 9n you it would be a lot easier to fix on the road, just a thought.

would have to cap off the original power steering pump that's driven by the engine or preferred, remove it entirely and that can be a bit difficult, as unlike on most smaller vehicles, not everything is driven off the belts, some stuff is driven off the gearset normally used for timing the entire engine

[@criticalevent]

@@niteriderevo9179 Ya you would have to replace it with an idler or get a shorter belt but it would be well worth it for the ease of maintenance.

[@niteriderevo9179]

@@criticalevent kind of missed the point, the power steering pump on that bus isn't belt-driven.. it's driven off the timing gearset.. kind of difficult to stub off if there isn't anything to stub it off with..

[@criticalevent]

@@niteriderevo9179 Oh well that's even easier, you have to do nothing but loop it out.

Hey Taylor food for thought built a generator slide bracket so the whole unit could slide out for serviceability and ease!

Seeing this update video has me feeling the same way I did on the day of my wedding. Hell yes.

Need a black and silver Garage Built wrap on the bus. Race bus vibes.

[@matthewromano8801]

that trough looked accessible in the middle where the tires where, it looked like that tray drops down and you get access to pull the lines from the middle of the bus and push them through.

Tap the itting with a air hammer really loosens them up where they're easier to get off

[@texasroper]

great stuff, enjoy watching the bus upgrade content...

Also those hoses can easily be cut shorter and have new fittings crimped on

Since the PS and engine share oil, buy oil in 5 gallon buckets and use the lid style transfer pump so filling the PS and engine during maintenance is way easier. That engine should take atleast a 5 gallon bucket of oil anyways.
