I jumped the gun a little bit buying a bus. I wanted 7 window, tall (interior head space) bus in great condition. I found it and pulled the trigger on a 2009 CE 7.6L DT-466 Maaxforce bus. I was aware of the issues with those engines but it seemed from what I read it was 2012 engines forward.
I bought the bus and had to perform the Regen process twice driving it home 600 miles. I need to unbolt it and have it cleaned properly. My question here is, I REALLY like the bus, it’s perfect for me! But I also don’t want to put 9 months of work in making a Skoolie only to be on the side of the road with my wallet open.
Hard question to answer but are the 2009 Maaxforce engines ok? Or should I run now?

Go ask a Navistar tech for an opinion. Ours are all hashed out here over and over and none of us are Navistar techs.
Some of us (Christopher) are smarter than any Navistar tech, but if you talk to someone who repairs them every day you'll probably get the best insight.
I did just what I'm proposing to you and thats why I went with a Cat this time around lol.
