Re: Looking for service manuals for 95 carpenter FE

What is it you want to know? There is not likely a specific service manual for your bus, but the cummins is a very common engine, as is the Allison transmission. You should be able to find good manuals for them, though some things will be different on your bus, like locations of resevoirs, routing of hoses, etc.
Besides, buses are always a bit of mystery, wiring, plumbing, etc. It's supposed to be that way, I think.

I was trying to find a wiring drawing but I think I will have to draw it my self. I wish I knew all the inter locks and safety. I think it will be trial and error. As soon as the weather get better I will get the info off the engine and transmission. I talked to the previous owner and he had no manuals either. He said the transmission was not a 545 it is heaver but he was not sure which one it is. I think it will be a learning experience.
