Hi, we have a at545 transmission on a 29ft long schoolbus, cat 3126 engine, thomas built bus with a freightliner chasis, dog nose, i overheat the at545 way to much ~300degree going uphill and we just had a rebuilt put in cause the other one broke down. So, lets go safe we think, its our home. My questions is you talked about puting an other cooler, you say go big, do you have a link of this better cooler you would go for it? Thanks a lot for your response and videos, i appreciate highly your help, Also, im a novice, do you think i can add that cooler myself?

Long way from buying a bus but wanted to say thanks for the visual aids. It nice to see an example of the do's and don'ts. Much appreciated.

Thank you

South carolina had plenty mid size flat nose rear engine buses rhey just took off road. I see a lot of fs65 at some district lots rotting away. Maybe they will sale them before they scrap them. But south carolina has recently updated they fleet so its a lot of busses they just parked. My favorite is the 88 international bluebird . Yes we were still using them 2020😂. They just won't stop and easy to fix

Okay, question.. Why not convert to a manual transmission?

I enjoyed a lot of the info you gave out. I've been doing my research for the past several years to prepare me for the leap I'll be making within the next year. Your below the snow line for rust free buses confused me a bit. The entire Coastal Georgia area is above that line. We rarely see snow & if we do, it either doesn't stick or melts in an hour. Our buses aren't rusty.

Dude so i have a diesel generator what i changed the exhaust on from going out the top stack like to going underneath (its mounted on a trailer now) and this video is a very well put together video! Its my 1st time ever wrapping something and will jot be seen except by me for maintence Thanks for the Great content!!! that bus look awesome to!

This is for a 12 or 24

Sorry but that looks goofy and unessasary... I don't get it

A great help, I wouldn't have wet it but see the sense in doing it . Thanks

So... i have a 400hp MONSTER size turbo diesel in a 40' Mainship 25k#. I am getting ZERO boost. The old guy i got it from replaced the 160hp engine. This engine came with dry exhaust manifolds. He put on wet manifolds. My knowledge of engine physics tells me he is sucking all of the heat out of the exhaust charge and the turbo (while spinning freely) isnt spooling up. The marine "rules" say you must have a wet exhaust manifold. My solution is to use the double wall (wet manifild with no water) and wrap it to achive roughly the same thermal result.... and finally get some power and fuel economy. I will probably use mig wire tails as extra ties when i run out of the 10 included with the 50' of wrap. Any thoughts anybody?

Have a t444e with the AT545 do you recommend the MT 646 or 1000

👍😎

if you have a holesaw the size of the flasherholes you could add a fillerpiece on top of the flasher deletes mounted in the back with one or two rivits and some sealant and have the sheetmetal level with the rest makes them a little more invisable when the bus is repainted for verry little extra effort (drilling out the 4 round pieces out of sheetmetal with a holesaw and stick them in the holes )

Two hours and thirteen minutes for a ten minute video. I am now unsubscribing, probably like thousands before me. You guys just don't get it. No one wants to spend that much time on so little with so much repetition. Learn about editing.

Did you need insurance when you drive it from where you purchased it?

Your speakers are not broken. 😅 We muted a lot of this video because the air hammer is LOUD 🩵

Playback speed can be adjusted for this live to 2x for a quicker video! ❤

I like what you guys do. You would have a many more subscribers if you improved your editing. You have about 10 minutes of content spread over a forty five minute video.

I have a Brazilian ford 6.6L inline 6 bus with the Ppump style mechanical injection system. I am looking for at least 5 to 10 speed transmission models that would be a similar conversion, because I would love to have an Eaton 10spd in my bus. I drove truck for years but I didn't work on them really, so I'm starting from basic knowledge and a bit of car dealership apprentice experience.

I have been highly considering diing the exact same thing with a new eaton 10 spd dumper transmission.

Are you guys planing a roof raise ?

Check the airlines for leaks. I remember one of the 7 tons I drove, that was the problem

Yeah my bags leak out after 24 hrs, reason why I want to put in an electronic dump valve so I can make sure its level. But plan to put in hydro levels one day

Gotta love tearing things apart. Y’all are great at this. So much patience.

Rivet removal with the air hammer was super fast!

Jeeez

Missed u guys

this helped me alot i was struggling at first but after i watched this it helped me a lot lol but thank you for your advice man

your the 1st i've seen with a set up like yours, at 1st i thought it was stove pipes for a wood burner stove!

You are so pretty and happy birthday ❤🎉

I like propane for fuel for a generator. Much easier to connect a fuel line to the generator

That is my dream bus!!!

great job.

What are the pipes coming outta the left side for if you dont mind me asking?

i have a 88 international dt360 and the rear end set up is the samesies. had a leak and thought it was the calipers initially, replaced those and the leak persisted so now I'm doing the seal. Anyways wouldn't have been able to do it without the video thanks for posting

Do you have to take both tires off at the same time? Or can you just do one at a time?

Did it help any when towing or what have you?

Well I drove the dang thing 3,000 miles had some probs along the way starting it but now its been parked six months, and it just clicking when i go to start it. Im really hoping its the starter seeing as how it drove here ok.

Just saw y'all on I-10 in Baton Rouge near college drive!

I absolutely love that quote at the end, is that sampled from somewhere?

Love the honesty! Maybe you have done so in a previous video but, would you expound on your decision to put the exhaust pipes after the side mirrors vs before them.
