Try turning the key switch like your starting it and wiggle the shifter a little.
If it hits then you will have to find the sweet spot to crank it.
After mine sets for an extended period I have that trouble but after some use its fine.
Good luck

Sorry, I don't have an answer for you, but, JR's answer could be right on. It certainly has been a Grinch in several other vehicles. if I may, I'd like your opinions on the Vista. I have heard that the 3600 doesn't handle that well. I have looked at them and just wondered the opinions of real world owners. I can understand why some say they are somewhat noisy, due to engine position, but am curious as to the handling. I don't know what size busses ya'll drive, and the handling thing may be vary with the overall length, but I'm interested in the opinions.
Don't want to high jack the thread, but ALL opinions are welcome.
Thanks, and good luck with the cranking issue.

Thanks for the input. I'm going to try and run down the issue
this weekend.

I've only driven the truck in mild weather on pretty smooth roads, but It seems pretty manageable. Kinda handles like a conversion van I used to own. It seems like it's just a tad bit longer than an average short bus.
