your bus

StefN,

Please send pictures of your new ride. Thomas with a 5.9 or 8.3 Cummins? Rear Engine, Front Engine, Conventional (Dog Nose). Transmission model?

I'm from Southern CA, so let me know if you need some help. Where are you parking your beauty?

Todd

Ok so it a 60 passager flat nose RE with Cummings 5.9. It has a new Allison trans but I don't know the model. Runs great after getting Trans & fuel pump replaced. I doing the conversion in Hawthorne CA. I do have a small oil leak but nothing earth shattering but I hope to get that fixed during the conversion process.

Congrats on getting your new bus. You are close to LAX. That's a place I try to avoid. LOL
