I bought my 25' shorty (1997 Blue Bird TC/2000, Cummins 5.9 / AT-545) about a month ago. Drove her home to Louisiana from NE Indiana no problem... except top speed was 53 and going up steep grades I could have put the throttle lock on and got out and ran faster. I haven't driven it much yet, but...

Here’s our little lady, Le Phoenix. We've owned and operated this bus since 2017 as part of our 30-bus fleet. She's been one of our most reliable runners with very minimal downtime. She runs very well and we’re super sad to have to sell one of our perfectly good Cummins gals, but due to Covid...

So I am looking at picking this bus up for a lowish budget conversion. More like a week or weekend trip kind of bus. No shower or bathroom, just 2 beds, storage, counters and some power. Insulate and a way to heat it. Ill be driving it to alaska from florida. It will come out to around $4000 for...

Hey everyone! I've been looking online for some busses for sale. I came across what I think might be a good deal but I'm no mechanic and wanted your guy's opinion. I'm looking at a 2003 Thomas School Transit FE. Capacity is 71 Passengers. Diesel fueled with HYD Brakes and a 5.9 CUMMINS Engine...

Hi all. I am pretty fresh to the idea of a bus conversion, but I get obsessed with good ideas. I have been doing tons of research lately (Mainly on this site) and it has been very helpful. My wife and I are planning on converting a bus and traveling for a while, then putting down roots and...

Greetings bus gurus! My 5.9 developed a coolant leak last weekend, and I'm looking for some advice/expertise. I have attached a few photos for reference. [/IMG] At first I thought (was really hoping) the leak was just the 90 hose at the thermostat housing, but I have replaced that to find out...

Hello All, My name is Austin and I am currently in Houston TX. I built my first motor home about 25 years ago. It was a high top dodge van and I still miss it today. My wife Madeline and I are shopping for our bus now and would like a Blue Bird 26 foot bus with the cummins FE. We are...

Howdy. After a brutal failed attempt at flying to Tulsa, OK from Taos, NM to buy what appeared to be a good TC2000 transit, I hopped on GovDeals and won myself a 1999 Thomas MVP 5.9 EF from the Beaverton School District. I'm flying out from Albuquerque this Friday, the 6th of January and...

Howdy. The other half and I are planning on buying our first bus within the next couple of weeks and wanted help on the decision, but it looks like we've made up our minds but certainly could use some experienced skoolies' knowledge and guidance on this one. We plan to live full-time and also...

Hey all- I've scoured the forums here and everywhere and yet the mystery plagues me...any insight is much appreciated! I have a '99 BlueBird TC1000 with Cummins 5.9l Symptom: When first bought this bus started after 2 seconds Everytime. After letting it sit for 7 days or so and working on...

Good morning folks! Just curious... what is a p-pump and how do you feel about it with the Cummins 5.9?

Hello Everyone! :greetings: Based on reading more forum posts than could possibly be good for someone, I'm fairly well versed in engine differences but still have some lingering doubts/question. I really like what I've heard about Detroit Diesels, but I haven't had much luck finding buses...
