i think i just watched a video of a bus....

[pizzaboy379]

An all american with a cat, that's a good combo Cat's can push alot of power

[bioshock26632]

its a cat c7

[RJxx0843]

@bioshock26632 is it a c7 or a 3126?

[Tr2u1ck]

@RJxx0843 Sounds like a C7

[rebeltag]

That bus does sound good with a Cat in it...

I do like the Cummins a lot too... I drive a 97 T/C 2000 FE and an '08 All-American FE Handybus, both with Cummins power. The '97 is still quite fast for a 12-year-old bus, and the All-American is a dream to drive...

Oh, and good video!

[59795159]

does this bus have a rear stop arm?

[AllAmericanFE]

Nope

[59795159]

cool. what was wierd was i was browseing through BlueBird busses and i stumbled upon this bus

[zachblogthisis]

My school district has 2000-2004ish All American RE busses, and I wasn't sure which of the two engines it was, but now I'm sure its CAT because it sounds the same as this bus. They are much faster than the newer parts of the fleet that we are getting in (2007 and 2008 Bluebird Vision's, which seem slower, and are slower).

I like the RE's better.

[xXSouljaBoyTellEmXx]

wow when my bus comes, its pitch dark out 6:25.....lol

[FBHSswimmer2006]

my old bus, 327, sounded just like that. it was a 2000 Thomas SAF-T Liner EF. plus, it was the fastest bus in the fleet. my little brother rides it now.

[racerboi3x]

hey we have like four of those

[Lycan2026]

Sounds like a cat. Lol. That's the type of engine my bus has.

[rjiskool0]

My bus is a 1992 bluebird and recently broke down. how long does a 16 year old engine last

[AllAmericanFE]

Pretty long. We had 18 year old engines that were running perfectly 2 years ago.

[jjf221]

It really bothers me that they don't have the Cummins ISC engine available for the All Am. FE, only for the RE design. I don't really understand why they can't.

[ClassicTVFan82]

Weight differences between the two, I presume.

[iluvwhitegurlz]

Lovin tha engine!!!

[s172mch]

sounds awsome

i myself am a fan of our blue bird tc2000 (changed the name to american fe or something now adays) with the cummins isb engine

ours doesnt have the trans whine as urs do

[mrfanman2u]

gotta love the cummins I-6 5.9L ISB

How often do you see international chassis with the t444e or VT365 engines? Opinions on how they sound? I am partial to the t444e engines myself. The "FreightShaker" chassis with the caterpillar C7s?, the turbo just SCREAMS on those.

[dodger8822]

My school had a '96 International/Thomas shorty with the T444E. Hills were no problem for that bus. sounds like the little POS Transtek/Ford Econoline E450 my school district just gut their hands on...

The E450 has i guess the Ford PowerStroke engine, which is basically a T444E with less crap on the top. sounds similar. only thing missing is the Allison whine and the soft suspension. riding that damn transtek you can feel EVERY and ALL bumps in the road... oddly though the seats are mad comfy.

[JZX100Chaser]

caterpillar engine?

[AllAmericanFE]

Nope Cummins ISB engine.

[JZX100Chaser]

oh.

i love hearing that engine though--

[AllAmericanFE]

I was wrong. I got to look at the engine yesterday and in fact it is a Caterpillar engine not a cummins as I was told it was.

[bus19]

That is probably the easiest mistake to make. This sounds nothing like a Cummins ISB.
