I have a 2001 Chevy Express 3500 6.5L turbo diesel. After one year I have spent over $10,000 in repairs and replacements before touching the inside. The first thing my son did was move that box shown in that video.

A whole new crate engine doesn't even approach ten grand with parts and labor. WHat all have you had go wrong with yours?

Six tires. Six brake lines. New transmission. Starter. Front Grill. Headlights. Back lights (these didn't need to be replaced. My son was going thru all the electrical and decided he wanted to put in rectangle lights). Then replaced the bi-fold doors with a new door that actually closes, installed Maxx Fan, replaced broken rear view side mirrors with a camera system. Plus change all fluids, hoses, fuses. Oh, I forgot, the dash panel was replaced, too.

thanks for the clarification.
In the previous post it sounded like you were saying the bus was bad because you spent 10k on it. But now I understand what you meant.
