Hi Gang, What was the first year that the Allison V-731 transmission (the electronic version of the V-730) was used for an RTS II bus for the first time? I...
I am not aware of the 8v71ta in the RTS but I did Turbo my 8v71n and installed n70 injectors. I did it about a year ago, I would have to look up how many miles...
From what I have read, this may be a difficult question to answer. My 85 has a 6V92TA MUI with a V731. I believe this to be how the bus was built, and it...

NO I did not, nor did I put the after cooler on it, I just drive it with a little respect and watch the exhaust temp.. Dwight Brasseaux 1979 RTS III 8V71...
This is what we had in ours from new. We did not order many if any options ever and let other people try out the new technology until it was standard. We...
Yes, I have seen the 8V71TA in some Santa Clara Transit buses from the late 70's, maybe up to 1982. Joe (who posts on this board) has one of those buses, but...

Hey All; What do we use for transmission fluid for the V730? I had thought that we used engine motor oil, but in looking through the manual, it specifies an...
Hey all, I'm an ex-RTS owner with other buses now, but to be honest with you, I've never gotten more focused and professional advice than what I've gotten on...

I would say it is your governor, the pop you hear is the pop off (High Pressure release) valve releasing. On the head of the compressor, if the governor is not...

Are you saying that because of the rust the bus is not worth saving/converting? As far as the 8V71 goes, it is a left hand engine which limits it's market,...
