For 4 years on this forum I've been told that that's not enough engine for too much bus. I'm sure you could drive it all over Florida, but over the Rockies to WA and back?

if onenation and jbloem can take DT-360's and AT545's over the rockies im beginning to think anything is possible and do-able in about any drivetrain.. I used to be one that thought.. never an AT-545 in the hills... or never a 5.9 or DT-360 in the big boy hills...

From the district in Aurora my shorty came from. TOP NOTCH school. They take GREAT care of their buses and are SUPER helpful when buying from them.
I HEARTILY recommend them!

IDK bout the tires but ALL the tires on the shorties they sold last year had year-old tires with full tread. The tire condition on those shorties was listed as "fair" lol.

Is that the injector and turbo difference I keep hearing about in the higher hp engines?

supposedly turbo, injectors, computer program.. I havent looked to see if the Head gasket and max RPM are different or not.. when I got as far as injectors and turbo in the parts lists I figured it wasnt worth it to try and get 230 out of my 190.

the ford version ran 230 (I think) for a couple years.. and I know they ran a higher RPM curve and thicker head gasket to accomodate for extra rod stretch at higher RPM;s..

I'd honestly go ahead and buy it but I have nowhere to store any more buses yet.
Anyone in CO want to store a bus for me???

I can't physically force Raul to go buy it, but I want to.

and my issue is no place to put it.. in a year I'll want a van like that.. its useless for me to lease a new truck when its 2 years old and only has 10,000 miles on it.. an older AC'd van would be perfect for me

A bargain, if you ask me.
But out of my price range for a work van. I'm STOKED about my lil Dodge. Did you know they RACE and modify Dodge vans in Japan???

[Brewerbob]

Anyone looking for a midsize bus? The genny is $4800 new. Has two AC units. Flat nose FE (ad says RE but it ain't). AZ bus with less than 115K miles. 2004 Blue Bird with Wheel Chair lift.

For you S.E. shorty folk, a 4 window WC dog nose.

Dajiban!

Basically a Japanese-ized pronunciation/spelling of Dodge Van.

Those guys do some crazy stuff with those things!

[Robin97396]

That mid size bus is nice. Lots of L-track, if you like that sort of thing. Looks like a TC2000 but has one more window than the usual nine window.

That short seems odd with 19.5s on the front axle and 22.5s on the rear. Like the stick shift, but I don't want a bus with that type of wheel setup (Dayton ?). I grew up calling those California wheels, compared to normal rims. Very clean looking though. Ideal towing rig.

Lol.
Well, I'll bring those 2 vans down here. It will be a nice road trip for my dad and I.

If we dont like them, I'm sure we can sell them for what we paid. I've seen worse shape vans go for more.

It is always fun searching for a vehicle.
