Check the block casting number, too: if it's a "53" you will likely get a crack in the block (too thin). Cummins' Fatal Flaws - Diesel Power Magazine

the block of a 5.9 will "crack" when you make a 2000 HP out of it

Didn't think that the buyer was going to modify it to 2000hp.

Call them. You might have to place another bid at the next minimum increment up.

that will happen sometimes if they want you to bid at the reserve price.. you'll see the minimum bid required... it can also happen if the high bidder told them they didnt want the bus.. the bid will go back to next minimum increment and if you bid that in a certain amount of time you get it...

Well bus is paid for I'm here to pick it up! I don't have to worry about the 53 because it has a cat in it.
Can't get it started with new batteries, no power at the key, I can turn the lights on

First thing to try is make sure all the exit windows and doors are firmly shut.

Is there no one who can offer any assistance at the bus yard or wherever you're picking it up from?
Was it advertised as running?
