Post for Marilyn; Requesting help - Eagle 05

[Scott Crosby]

I saw a dv2 mounted inside the passenger rear wheel well area but didn't see a tank it was hooked to due to some fiberglass plastic type cover under there but it wasn't for this tank.



The leak is fixed. The clutch was a super stiff and annoyingly squeaky.  So I lubed it like a porn star and it's super easy now. 

I installed the pantograph wiper assemblies drivers works and passengers is intermittent so it needs a rebuild kit but I told her not to waste her money fixing it. Just put rainex on because she would never get that investment back.  I couldn't get the wiper valves to leak she was worried about them leaking but they didn't for me and I turned them on and off 50 times and even jiggled them they never not leak but hers didn't

I checked the oil and it's good.  I checked the coolant and the entire surge tank was empty.  But a sight glass drain line showed it was only 1" Below the tank. I added a few gallons

Airomatic seemed to work fine.  I heard the air discharging each way. And I could turn the wheel even stopped. My manual steering bus weighs less and it was 50% easier than what I do and the eagle weighs way more so it's working but it's not full blown power steering.

It's truly the best sounding engine I've heard in a long time.  It sounds great.

I tried to only charge her for the antifreeze I put in for $25. But since I spent all day here she wouldn't do that  she gave me some more money but and I appreciate it but it was not required.  Her husband sounded like he was a great guy and I enjoyed hearing stories about him and his bus. 

I'm sure I did s couple other things but I don't remember.  Oh I added 10 gallons of diesel to it for her too.

You're a good man Charlie Brown. Sounds like her bus got some much needed loving. Where to next?

LOL ! Clifford I wasn't trying to piss in his Cheerios on his board but rather trying to make him aware of possible future "ramifications" (in bad places  if you get my drift) if anything ever happened after the buyer failed to replace the tank as recommended and was in an accident and it came up that Scott welded it.

Now that said I ain't saying I WOULD HAVE WELDED IT, and I AIN'T SAYING I would NOT have welded it if it was on my personal coach or vehicle.
What I am saying is if it were a commercial bus, truck or whatever OR it was not mine and I was charging to repair the vehicle there is NO WAY ANYONE would have ever KNOWN if I welded it or not! (too many lawyers and not enough "backwoods judges" these days!)

PS You know I ALWAYS respect and FOLLOW your advice 100%! (well kinda sorta!)

LOL I didn't even know you were involved BK,my understanding it was just a pin hole and if the tank was in bad shape he couldn't have welded it anyway.It's wet tank on a dual air system with spring brakes what could happen there would be no difference if it lost a compressor or main line.Scott just did what I ask him to do, I knew the owner he would have done they same.I seen those tanks where people have used metal building screws the ones with rubber gasket to plug pin holes some have been like that for 20 years I know of.I don't know anything about Scotts business I understand he wasn't charging her and it helped her out, now you do have to play by a different set of rules. No harm no foul on this end
