Hey everyone, just drove this truck home a couple weeks ago. About a 15 minute drive, ran it for an hour or so prior to that drive. When I got it home it sat for a few days. I changed the glass water separator as it had a bit of gunk in it and forgot to prefill it. I started the truck, ran great...

Hello, I’ve got a 1995 DT466E with an AT545 transmission, and I’m taking it on its first long-ish trip yet. Drove around 4 hours today. For the last 20 minutes of the drive, it felt as though the engine power would cut in and out, even with the gas pedal pressed down the same amount. Pressing...

Here is my experience over the last year with my bus. I am hoping someone can chime in with some knowledge. I have a 2006 chasis CE300 with dt466 engine. We have had various electrical stalling problems. The first time it was a bad battery with a short. We fixed that and the bus ran fine for...

After my recent breakdown in Casper and the awful mechanic I had, I’ve begun to notice a new sound when I start the bus up. Almost like a knocking sound, but it only lasts for a minute or so and then stops. Sometimes it sounds like it stops as soon as the air brakes reach capacity and hiss...

I'm in the middle of having a shop swap out my transmission and upon their removal of my old trans they discovered a horrible sight. It's become obvious that the other shop that I had replace my 7.3 with a dt466 15 years ago ran into what I would assume is a common issue for that swap but...

Hello, I have a dt466 with an alison at545 currently in my bus and i'm trying to swap out the trans for a mt643 but i'm having a hard time finding the proper flexplate. I found an old post on here where someone said it was the navistar part #467037C1 but after i got it, it very obviously...

Hi all, The age old question. This bus or that bus? Both engines are pre-emissions, so that's a wash. The breakdown goes like this: Bus 1: Dog nose, front engine, DT466E and Allison MT643 (I suspect, haven't gotten to see the bus in person yet). 77K original miles (!). Seller says engine is...

I’m traveling through Wyoming, and it seems like we’ve been going uphill all day. Suddenly I had a brief loss of power (for less than a second), and then it was okay again. That happened again a few minutes later. Then, I started really losing power, got white smoke out of the exhaust, heard...

Hey all Had to take a break. Engine caught fire ans in the process of a rebuild. Currently I have a DT466E high hp & torque (250/800) and the harness and engine bay burned. I am debating the engine with an an all mechanical engine replacement. So far, my thoughts are DT466 pre ‘95 or a Cummins...

Anybody with video or advice on how to remove the engine out of a 2000 International snub nose school bus. Anything with the removal process would be greatly appreciated. We purchased this for the DT466 to install in my 2004 International Rollback wrecker. It either has a head gasket or cracked...

Hi I'm here looking at selling my 1996 International Thomas Bus $7500 OBO - Worst I can say is no. 1996 8 Windows I was told by the Colorado school district 167,000 Miles Before Gauge Cluster was replaced so current mileage shown is inaccurate it currently reads 1279 DT 466 3800 Engine...

Hi, all. I wasn’t planning to remove my heater, but I hit one of the lines with a screw and decided it wasn’t worth fixing. So. I cut the line and drained it out the emergency exit door and went to the back of the bus (2006 International RE300 with DT466) to start figuring out a loop. What I...

Hi y’all, writing from GA, here we go! DT466 1997 International 3000 Took our bus out for 1 hour drive. Haven’t taken it for more than 10 min before in the past 6 years. It went past 230 degrees and shut off while driving 1/2 hr into the drive. I pulled off and noticed a coolant leak. Fixed...

Help! Just tried to start up my bus and it won’t start. I started it up about a month ago and it had similar trouble starting but eventually kicked in and ran for a few hours. Now it won’t start at all. See video here. Any ideas?

2007 DT466 here. I've had an issue for a few days that I haven't been able to identify. Bus always fires up cold. Sometimes when it is hot, I'll get a crank but no start. Sometimes, cold or hot, it will stall while moving slowly or idling. Yellow engine light usually comes up. Things...

Hello! Currently parked off the highway, due to a leak on our 1990 International skoolie with the dt466 (auto. mechanical) 3800 with the md436 transmission. So I was able to identify the leaks location and it’s coming from the bearing on this whatever this unit is. Whatever goes in there is...

So I am currently looking for my first skoolie to convert and right now I have 2 options available. The first is a 2006 35’ IC international with the dt466e paired with an Allison 2500 on 83,000 miles, but it has some small rust issues on only 2 rear cross members. Unfortunately this bus has...

Hello, We have a 2006 IC re300 with a DT466e and Allison 3000 series. We've been slowly working on our conversion and the bus hasn't been started for a while. It started up great last time and we haven't made any modifications to electrical or anything since it started last. When we put the...

Hey there! I’ve had my yellow engine light come on and then go off a few seconds later a few times today. Don’t have a code reader, but the condition is very specific so I wanted to see if anyone had insight. The light will come on for a few seconds when I’m going downhill at 60+ mpg, with...
