You are in luck! You can get replacement pieces for the fiberglass rail that you hang the side panels on. The problem is I don't remember who sells it-- it...
My opinion on all this is that the Stinger that lifts the front end underneath the front wheels/axle is okay, what is not okay is picking the bus up from the...
Drew-- Where do you get the idea that China Diesels are so great? I have seen web pages dedicated to the trouble people have had with them. Not only are they...

Then there's the CTA method. Connect towbar to front tow hooks. Don't lift anything. Connect special air fitting that CTA mounts to the front of all buses so...
Hi Wolf You might want to give these guys a call - They are in Florida - I understand that they have a very good reputation for a good a product with good...
Hi Sean, That's what we used on some buses, a tow-bar. All Milwaukee buses had to be towed off their lot. Most did run, but dead batteries and other little ...

Well, Hello again, To answer the questions about the generators,I will say for one-I have a china diesel that I bought over 6 years ago and the only thing...

Hey everyone!!, I need to ask a quick question to help me make up my mind. Can someone please give me an idea of what is involved in an "in-frame" rebuild? I...
The correct term is overhaul not rebuild. I'll get to the difference in a minute. A good inframe gets new pistons rings cylinder liners and all new bearings...
Before you think about in-framing the engine, what you need to do is get a compression check and find out if all the clyinders are bad or just one or two. If...
The first thing I would do is find out where the oil is leaking from. Clean up the engine, check the leaks, it may just be a gasket or two... Then do the...
I overhauled my 6V92, had my heads checked/valves ground, injectors rebuilt. I didn't have the tool/test equipment to assemble the rods to the piston (not like...
I'm going to pick up my 83 40X102 early next week. I thought I was waiting untill next weekend but upon further review of my honey do list it seems the sooner...
Hey John, We can give you the horror stories of driving a bus home, or the ones that went without a hitch. Take your pick. My bus overheated from Kansas City...
stop at a big store (walmart/kmart/home depot, etc.) after you get the bus and BUY a set of tools, leave them in the box and you've got a birthday present for...
... No input on the main question how about this. If i don't use the main wall heat is it ok to loop the two lines together. I have heard of alot of people...
I looped the lines together with a piece of heater hose. I replaced the solenoid shut off valve with a regular gate valve. That hose is important to my...
Ask him where the closest auto parts or department store is at. Then when you get there, take a cab or take the bus and go spend at least $100-$200 on a tool...
I done a few in-frames, in trucks, buses and cars. Some were just repairs. R&R what was needed and let the rest go. In the old 71's I changed just one hole...

Hi Dion, I thought I had responded. Must have forgot. You can cap the upper lines to the old air handler. Or loop them (I looped them). The lines are teed to...

I capped mine, as I feared that looping them might reduce the coolant flow to the driver's heater/defrost. Path of least resistance, ya know! Larry Hamm '88...
Thanks Guys for the advice. I'm not having any luck finding someone to take the ride. The trip is going to be from 20 miles s.e. of Houston to Pensacola Fl. ...
