DO YOU HAVE A 1990'S BLUEBIRD TC-2000

IF YOU HAVE A 90'S BLUEBIRD TC2000 I WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT MY BUS AND COMPARE.

Got an 89 TC FE 72pass 5.9 AT545 4.33 rear end. Tops at 57mph give or take. Thought it should be better, now that my tranny's blown and I got a new identical one coming, we'll see if it's any better. Runs on straight veggie oil.

I got a 91 TC2000 but with a different drivetrain that you have. I have the 5.9 Cummins with an Allison 545 (I think) and 4.33 rear end. It's a great drivetrain, it's powerful and gets decent mileage. When I got it it topped out at an indicated 57mph, I had Jason (fellow skoolie member) turn up the governor and now it goes almost 70mph (indicated) - which I found out with my GPS is 10% slow - so 60=66 70=77 ect...

I'm still confused. Many of us have the TC2000 Front Engine, but I keep thinking there is a TC2000 pusher also. Which is yours, 1993bluebird?

Isn't the pusher the BB All-American?

If only it were that simple. From what I understand so far, All American is a DeLuxe version of TC2000, kinda like Mercury is a fancied up Ford. All American is reported to have more galvanizing and a stronger frame, among other differences. (Important stuff, unlike Mercury over Ford, which generally just gains a toothier grille. )
