It’s a large electromagnet brake built onto the drive shaft.
It has 4 stages each one brakes a little more than the last. With number 4 being substantial. Enough that you wouldn’t use it on wet or...

Honestly, I’m not looking to make a million bucks off the deal. I got all three for a song, so if I can help someone out, I’m more than willing.

The 87 has the retarder and it works well. I was quite surprised at how well it slowed the bus! I have it posted locally on Craigslist and Facebook now. ...

Another was a 91 dt466. No retarder.
Last was a 94 dt466 with retarder.

Soooooooo.........I just...

The all mechanical machine is awfully tempting for sure. I am accoustomed to mechanical Cummins engines already so I am familiar with the setup, albeit not exactly the same. But many similarities.

The 2000 has...

That’s kinda what I was thinking too. I mean, wheelbase doesn’t really apply since it can be modified (that’s an entirely different discussion to have at another time. I’m sure I will get a billion...

Not hard at all. The frame rails are the same width under the cab. That’s the most important part really. The front fenders can be widened to however wide you want to cover the front wheels. ...

You’re right. I should have clairified.
I had stopped and measured a bus the other day I saw in a parking lot.
The outside to outside was 81” IiRC. My outside to outside is 60” but the fenders...

Interesting. That’s a great point about the V8 version. And I wasn’t aware there was a lighter duty 3800. That would in fact probably suit the truck better. The wheelbase is obviously much closer...

Gotcha. I’m pretended set on an international 3800 chassis, but I understand the tire brand and model will change these numbers a bit. My main concern was if it would fit at all without modifying the...

Holy crap that’s wide!
Looks like I’ll be widening fenders ��
By the looks of them, it appears the front wheels line up with the outer duals, making the rear about the same measurement. Does that...

How wide is a international 3800 bus?

Looking for the width of the front end, outside to outside of front wheels to see if I can fit one under the body of my 1950 ford f600.
Thanks!
