    So I bought a bus sight unseen from a church with plans to drive it home… 4000 plus miles! Yep I’m a little crazy. Also brought all my kids along. We made it home but I ended up paying triple the cost of the bus as I believe it sat so long that the fuel was gross and ruined most of the fuel...

    T444E Cranks but Won't Start

    I recently bought a 1999 International T444E thats cranks and sounds like it wants to start but won't.

    T444e mechanical oil pressure gauge

    Made a video showing how I added an oil pressure gauge to our 1998 International 3800 skoolie. I was not confident in the factory cluster. I know the risks of the tubing and had this gauge laying around so this mod cost me zero dollars for the piece of mind. https://youtu.be/UpYO5uMmgsw
