Well since I had my bus out and about today I tried this, my bus is as follows 1979 GMC RTS 102" 40' 6V92TA DDEC-II 730 3 speed Allison tranny 5.13 axel...
That's nearly as slow as my bus before I messed with the turbo boost sensor. Have you added resistors yet? Being right under the turbo I think the sensor...
10 MPG?!?!??! I wish! Mine got rotten MPG on the way over here, but I have not done a true MPG test since I've been running on WVO and replaced that plugged...
ERIC Thanks for sharing your result - this is EXACTLY what I had hoped would happen. BUT did you actually mean TOTAL TIME of 00-10 4 sec 00-20 8 sec 00-30 14...
Hi Pete, The way I did the test (I had a helper) I simply mashed down the pedel and called out the mph. So it took a total of 4 sec to reach 10MPH, a total of...
I need the latching point to keep my engine cover closed. I have a broken one and this one that is damaged so I need both. Does anybody have or have a fix to...
My starter seems to be going out. It will turn over for a few moments then acts like the solenoid quites working and it disengages, then rapidly engages and...
sounds more like the solenoid contact - It supplies current to the starter after the solenoid is energized - bet ya it's worn / piited / or dirty take it apart...
Eric, Your bus engine is equipped with a "Detroit Diaper" system that captures oil laden air coming out of the crankcase breather boxes and holds it. You are...

Silly question but are your batteries good and charged? That is usually exactly how low batteries behave. Check the battery voltage while cranking. ... ...

Forget what I said, then. Your bus doesn't need a resistor. Here's a plot I made of the various buses compared to a theoretically ideal bus weighing 30,000lbs...
Nice graph Eric. I'm getting lost with who has 4.10's, 4.56's, 5.13's and 5.38's though. I know Pete and Donn have 4.10's, but Pete has 277hp and Donn 300+ It...
The higher axle ratio gives an advantage, but mainly in 1st gear because once you shift into 2nd you are running about the same overall ratio as the 4.10 bus...
