Will I had to get a job done on my 102 today before the rains came. And could not run the bus on blocks because a transmission line was dumping the go juice out. So I had not done this before. today I went to northern and got 2 20 ton jacks I did look at the air jacks but @ and little over 100 each I jumped at the 48.95 get home, fine the jack points that Dallas help me with. All is good put wood under the jacks and started !hour later those air jacks looked really good. You can bet I will have air jacks before I Do that again.But no more leak |

Jerry, did you start with an aired up bus? You can block the post between the drive axle and tags with a cross tie or some such solid block and you'll be up about 7 inches higher than starting from a flat bus. Bleed the air off and then you can jack the axle...if necessary. I'm a little smaller than you, but I can get under my bus with just the aired up height...safely blocked of course.
You could also dig out an area to work in. Florida Cracker (Cliff) has a sorta "pit" dug out that adds to the working romm under his GM.
The rain may make that a bad idea in a flat area.
Did you find what's leaking?

Yes I did I had a line that goes from the trans. to the tr3 had a hole in it so if i started the bus it would leak any gear so no I was not able to start with aired up bus. |
