Has the same engine and gearbox as our Dennis Dart service buses in the UK (in all 1989-1997 examples) so this sound is familiar to me :-) Unforgettable really lol...
thats a way different tc2000 then the ones i remember cause the ones i remember had the shifter near the ignition and they had a door release on the contol pannel
I am a TC/2000 fan and I like the 89 to 92 models with shifter on left side. those busses seem to have good get up and had a personality. the new 93 to end they were nice but the older ones were nice. most i seen were 72 Pass but some had 77 pass.
Wow this is sweet. A Bluebird with a 5.9 Cummins is one of my top choices for the bus project I want to do. I have the 6BT in a Dodge truck and I love them. For the big bus I want it might be a little bit underpowered, but that would be fine with me in order to get the amazing fuel mileage. And of course you can easily boost the power output on a 5.9 to some pretty high levels, but in an RV bus I would go for the great efficiency and reliability you would get from going mellow.
Good bus, but rides rough. I'm used to the shifter now. I believe 93 and newer tc's are on the right. Its nice to have the shifter by the brake, so you don't have to switch hands. The 92-3, you'd have to shift-right, brake-left, door-right hand. The 94's with hydraulic brakes had a foot operated park brake.
My grandma had a 1990 TC/2000 when she drove bus, bus 20. Gosh I miss that thing!!!

Anyone know what mileage you get on the highway with the 5.9?
callmebigpapa 1 year ago
@callmebigpapa I have seen as high as 11mpg on the highway, but 10 is average highway. 9 mpg seems to be overall average.

Nice bus, I like it. I just want to know why you own a bus. This isn't your daily driver is it?

I'm begining to have more respect for the TC-2000, a guy I know likes them. I trust his judgement.
I did have some of these with the shifter to the left and that was annoying.
