[dj]

      Up date on my bus.....been in contact with Joe over the last several months,,,,,this is where it REALLY pisses me off   he says he will be over and then no show no calls nothing.  this have seen going on since march...Called him yesterday (again) and he said he would be over in the morning (today) still no show no calls nothing ive left him countless voice mails ect. Im soooo done with him.  He may be good but I want to get this thing back on the road
     I talked to Josh at J&H diesel he really dont like working on busses but hes going to do this for me.   heys saying sounds like I dropped an injector so more to follow,
     I get it if someones busy but you cant take 2 minutes and call to let me know Ive got better things to do with my time than wait around for someone to show up

Thanks for letting me vent have a great day

I understand Joe has another owner or 2 pissed off too,so you are not alone

Life lesson is don't get too attached to people. They may be good and highly regarded but people are afraid to switch to someone else even if like in this case, get jerked around. Sometimes you wonder how people like that stayed in business so long. I tried a locally owned pharmacy once and the old man would curse and slam his magazine down if you had the nerve to come in and want a prescription filled. He behaved that way toward my Mom too. The heck with him so I went elsewhere.

Joe is really good at what he does and when he rebuilds an engine, it will be better than new and will never leak.  However, once he tears your engine down, it may be a few weeks or even months before he will get back to work on it.  So if you have a timeline to get it done that is critical, be careful.  He has heavy equipment operators that he needs to get up and running first so they can generate revenue, so bus people take a back seat.

In all honesty CV-19 screwed time management up big time for OEM parts,you can get offshore made junk and used parts.I orderd $8000.00 worth of parts Monday and it going to take 3 months for delivery.Joe could have taken a few minutes to return DJ's call though

         Up date on my bus...since Joe desided to pull yet another no show no calls or texts   I got Jarod from J&H diesel within and hour to give me the good news (not)  we pulled the injectors and had them flow checks,,,all good... so we got a borescope down the injector hole saw some things that didnt look good   pulled the inspection plates off the side of the motor and found the carnage  dropped a couple valves   not good.....so now in looking at a reman motor and do a swap  so more to follow will be a couple months till i get the new motor from PC industries all new with warranty
     wish me luck

[luvrbus]

What a bummer,the 8v92 will drop a valve though I have one waiting to rebuild that dropped a valve too,Randy at PC Industries is a good guy and does good work

[dj]

      Yeah they seem to know what they are doing....i think the previous owner used  the wrong oil   
let the buyer beware

[dj]

           New update   I got a hold of Randy at PC and gave him my serial number ,,,,called me first thing next morning told me exactly what I have....so they are going to build my motor   sent half the money $15k should be about six weeks till i can go get it   total wii be $29500 + 8500 for the core  I head over and pick it up then take my core over once we get the new motor up and running will be a good shake down run.
     more to follow take care

That takes all the fun out of owning a bus,it is easy to spend $16,000.00 + just on good parts for a out of frame on a 8v92 now
