I'd like to do a very thorough write-up and give as much info as I can, to help me diagnose a weird issue in my 2004 CE200 Navistar T444e full size bus. Bought it in Lubbock, drove it home to Tennessee, then back to TX twice. Ran like a gem. It sat a little while we finished the conversion...

Hi there! My partner and I just purchased and finalized our first bus last night. We bought a 1991 Thomas International Diesel. We will begin pulling seats out this weekend. (Any ideas on how to sell or make money off of the seats would be greatly appreciated!) We will be doing all of the work...

I've been banging my head on this one for a while. Usually when I need parts I have to email my local International dealer with my VIN, wait for them to try to find what I'm looking for, get me a quote (that's usually ridiculously marked up) then go look online for interchange part numbers, then...

Howdy, all! Just want to give an update on where things are at with Orion and what applications we have coverage for. To start with, we have just added coverage to modify the VPM for the 1994 to 1997 model year 3000 and 4000 series vehicles with the T444e and DT466 engines. This allows the...

Good morning, all! We've recently released the Orion Reflash kits and they have been working really well on the 1998-2004 CEC (Single Box) applications. However, we've been having some communications issues with the 2004-2007 2-Box (ECM and IDM) applications relating to the TCM and ABS modules...

Hi all, I'm currently looking at a 27ft 2006 international ce200. It has the allison 2000 transmission and VT365 with 200k on it (blue engine if that makes a difference). Oil maintenance was performed every 6k and has new belts, alternator, water pumps, filters, and compressor. It started right...

So, I'm curious as to which of the Navistar drivetrain platforms are the most common with the skoolies. It's seems like most of the older stuff is International/Navistar 3000 series, with much of that being 444/7.3L drivetrain. In the Navistar realm, how many of you folks are running the 444...

Hello All, I'm in the process of converting a 1993 International (Navistar 3700?) Carpenter school bus. We've recently discovered that rats have completed chewed out the wiring - all the wiring in the main harness leading in to the control panel, all the wiring within the control panel, as...

This is one of those questions where a straight answer seems elusive. And it’s a question that I want to ask of any decent Diesel engine - not just the internationals. So how many miles is too many? I recently walked away from a really interesting little bus that had 267K on a DT360. That’s...

Hello everyone. I'm looking at a local 6 window bus that has a Navistar DTA360 engine and Allison MT643 4 speed transmission. It seems like people have a moderately favorable opinion of the transmission, but I'm not finding much here on the DTA360. What I have discovered is that this is a...

I'm Valerie. . . my wife Isabel and I saved for a year and a half then quit our jobs and started our build on a 1996 AmTran, RE (Rear Engine), 444e (7.3 Navistar/International), 88 passenger (13+ windows), 1 door on either side.... bus. This is our timeline so far...

Our wonderful 35' skoolie is up for sale! 1989 International chassis with Thomas Built body and Navistar DT466 engine. Runs incredibly well, has made it into and out of 31 states and is ready for another round. Super sad to see her go, but circumstances have led her to her next chapter. . ...

Hello everyone, Just bought a 1989 47 passenger Navistar Blue Bird and I have serious plans moving my family of four into it over the next few months. Well, it is a shorty after all - but hey, we like a challenge! Still getting used to the whole truck thingy...air brakes etc. Eventually, I...

What started as a quick 8 hour trip, turned into an 36 hour adventure. I picked up my Bus :) And I am happy with it. The little DT360 faithfully speed me towards home at a mind numbing speed of 57 miles per hour, at least thats where it was happiest, just a bit short of all in. I learned a...
