Hey guys, I'm new to this site. I just bought a 1990 International 4700 Toter. I understand the DT360 isn't a power house but after pulling my trailer to the track for the first time I was like, .....Yeah, I need a little more. The pump hasn't been touched yet. I'm not looking for killer power, but I would like a more. What do you guys suggest?
Welcome to skoolie.net, a place where a "site of dreamers with a Hodge podge of skills" come together to share ideas, thoughts and accomplishments while on their personal journey in the "skoolie" realm of life.
Who might some of these "Hodge podge" folks be you ask....folks from ALL walks of life. some folks have unique skills that they share and others are "newbies" , like yourself, who come here for the past resources already shared. They also come here to share their own reflections of the skoolie journey too.
We have past and active members of the military, active and retired industrial mechanics, engineers, ASE certified mechanics and also non certified back yard shade tree mechanics and rocket scientists in training too!
But most of all we here pride ourselves in not only our personal bus builds but also in the way we reach out to help each other out.
Even when we don't have a direct answer to a particular problem most all folks here are willing to share their thoughts on what might and might not work.
The search button here holds the key to a wealth of information that I am sure will help you going forward. don't get caught up on "who is here today posting info" but dig deep, there is a ton of knowledge on this forum.
Your initial question was a good and valid question, rest assured if you continue to ask questions about your motor you
WILL find some answers that will help you with the direction you seek.
Stay positive and welcome to the skoolie journey!
PS-
I myself am a non certified shade tree mechanic who in over 20 years has yet to take any car, motorcycle, truck or bus to a shop for repairs. And thanks to many, many of the people here before me I have learned how to troubleshoot and repair my busses (2) and more importantly, fix my engine without going to a shop!
In return for all the help and support that I gotten here, I go way out of my way to provide factual docs on subject matter so that you can also learn and build a knowledge library.
Hang in there !!!
