There appears to be two different 24v OEM regulators for the RTS. One is a four wire (older it appears) and one is a three wire. Virtually identical except...
Carl I also have an 06 manual that shows a 3 wire 24 volt reg But if you look at the picture the (positive) terminal is shown energized by a relay ?? Bet if...
Hi Dion We're ok - the storm missed us Think we'll get one of those weather radios with an alarm - that turns itself on in case of an emergency This storm -...
Hello, I test drove a 1994 RTS Series 50 bus that's for sale on EBay. It had a possible serious problem, but I don't know if it's serious. Maybe some of you...
Kevin, The check engine lights could be low oil pressure when it returns to idle or a bad sender.It could also be the coolant level sensor in the header tank....
Hi Kevin Here's a link to verify where the bus came from -> http://www.omot.org/roster/RTSII/index.html If it's 102" (wide body) - it may an RTS model 06 I...
When I brought my bus home, I had similar situations with the check engine and engine shut down lights. The rear start should have absolutely no effect on the...
Nine to eleven thousand? RTS busses on ebay normally go for more like three to four thousand unless they are already converted. NO way should you go up that...
New to the group and a new bus owner. Gary here and I am sure I will have many questions for you guys shortly. Was just told by Karen at R&M that my door...
I finally tracked down the "work-around" fix for the Allison tranny clutch drag problem - which causes bus to overheat when in 3rd gear This is suppose to...
Those are the details I needed to get this done. Thanks Pete that is a big help. Thanks for doing the leg work. I think I can safely say you are a huge...
It is fine if you can buy a 1994 Series 50 RTS in excellent condition (look at the pics; subject to check engine light problem) for $3000 or $4000. I believe...
As always, when dealing with an auction the buyer has to beware. However, I have personally seen rts busses that are well along in the conversion process and...
You are not going to find a 102" MCI for 10K or less, unless it needs a lot of work! You can find MCI 7&8's for that, or a 9 with problems for 10K, but in my...
Mike has the right idea about waiting and looking and buying the best unit possible (hopefully an RTS for us RTS lovers) for the best price. Good luck Mike!...
Just reading posts and articles over the last 4 years, the RTS seems to be a large margin safer than MCI's and Class A RVs etc... With it's tubelike structure...
The stopping distance for an RTS bus at 55 mph is four feet...... If the concrete barrier is big enough. Remember hearing the story of the RTS in Chicago got...
... who rear ... would ... ================================================== I love my RTS and agree they are very structurally sound. However, in a wreck...
Actually the RTS is much better than the M1A1 tank. At governed speed [40 mph] and max military load the M1A1 "cruises" at 0.94 gallons per mile. It does have...
Hi Grant, I was thinking the same way. The 6V92 is 435 HP stock as a boat engine. I am sure 500 HP is possible too. I was thinking one turns left and one...

Hello everyone, I am still stationed in South Korea and will return to the US in Jun 08. Meanwhile, I have been saving to get my 35" RTS converted once I get...
Hello everyone, I asked the seller of the current EBay RTS 1994 Series 50 to fill the oil and coolant to see if that would make the 'check engine' and 'stop ...
It might be a good time to set this one out, or buy the bus like it had no engine and figure you have to "make one that works". Seems like the current owner...
For what it is worth, I wouldn't give more than four or five grand for it at the very most. That is about what I was prepared to bid on it until heard about...
I myself wouldn't go over $5000 as is. If the engine ran fine and there was good oil pressure (should be around 50# at speed) and the temp stayed around 180...
