Yeah truthfully I wasn’t even lookin at busses, came across it when looking at small campers to live in and travel. Never seen one like it before with the 4x4 and clearance so I just had to lol. Not to mention it was around the same price as the campers. A ways to go but I’m looking forward to it.

It is a 7.3 Ford PowerStroke or actually a DT444E (same basic engine but different goodies)

That's a sweet motor to have. Pretty good fleet record for how long they'll go before needing major maintenance (as long as you take care of them). Most folks consider them a "million mile" engine.
Rigs similar to yours (4x4 bus about that length) are going for 40,000 here and it's an aftermarket HD 4x4 (military I think) set up.

Yeah I’ve heard great things about the engine, but the tranny, not so much. Might go the 643 route, or look into how a brownie box might perform?

Manual lockers?

What fun, driving a 4*4 bus will definitely get you attention and a lot of questions.

I can get some, I’ll post some when I get em and some others when I start my build. Yeah on the way home from picking it up a guy flagged me down and wanted to check it out , asked me where I got it and how much I paid, and a few other questions. He was deaf so it was a very interesting conversation lol.

Are we looking at two different driveline park brakes?
Or an electromagnetic retarder?
