You're my BOY Blue!!! haha.. Great work dude - love the use of the engine crane. I used one to help lift the back section of my toy hauler off of the deck.

Not an update update!

I tried to move the bus backwards to do some work to her, but can't. She hasn't moved in about 5 months, and started up great, but won't build air pressure and the brakes are acting weird. The constant beep that used to go on until the pressure was high enough to be safe is very sporadic and sounds like it wants to beep but has a bad wire or something. Any idea why the pressure won't build AND the brake warning system seems to be on the fritz? I assume it's related.

How do you know if the steel was heat treated? Is galvanized steel heat treated? My son wants to learn how to weld and practice on the bus and at first I thought it was a great idea but the more I read about it the less enthused about the idea I become. Looking at my bus- just as some welders themselves point out- the welds are where the rust is!!! The area by my stairs and my stairs are horrible where they were welded.

Sounds like the governor for the air compressor. They are generally mounted on the air compressor and when they fail you may only build minimal air pressure. D2 is a common part number and is easily replaced. Also when welding on an electronic controlled bus be sure to disconnect the batteries as the current through the frame may cause havoc with the Ecu. Awesome build, I have enjoyed seeing what you have accomplished thus far.

Heat treated is hard to cut with a file. Very nice thread can you take a few more pics on
how the ramp/ tailgate lift works. I'm trying to do something similar for my Rock Crawler.
Thanks Robin
