2009 Bluebird Coach conversion/Build

[morefire]

You changed the idler pulley for the alternators?

Yes, Had a metal shop build me a beefier custom bracket with a huge greasable bearing. works great

Last month I winterized the coach, and parked it for the winter. Next spring/Summer, I have to do the body, and have it painted.

Parked in front of the house for the winterizing process.

I needed to beef up the idler pully between the Alternators....

Before...


I had this built for me by a local metal fabricator.... just how I've been building this coach..."over built"




After..

I think it could have been built heavier. Lol!

I don't think that will ever be an issue now.

This is a quick video showing the bus climbing a steady grade. It's hard to tell how steep it is in the video. But the coach just holds it's speed with the cruise control on.
