  • something tells me someone's grid heater isn't functioning, or at least not functioning very well. The starter barely turning didn't help either. She still started though. Sounds good too. All the buses around here have international engines in them. 7.3, 6.0, DT466E. None with Cummins engines.

  • @iamdave0887- There is no grid heater or glow plugs on this engine. There is an engine block heater, but it was not plugged in.

  • @matts4290 interesting. never seen a 5.9 12V without a grid heater. Was it removed or did it never exist? Considering there's no cold start aid i'd have to say it started quite well then.

  • @iamdave0887- It never existed on this. Most 12 valve blue bird buses and ford buses don't have grid heaters. I don't know why, when the dodge trucks did. Maybe its because its for an industrial application.

  • so is it y-piped into duals or split manifold? also does it have any mufflers or just cats/dpf's or only pipe?

  • @snakesonaplane2 No mufflers, cats or DPF's. It is y-piped into duals. Would've liked to Y it from the motor, but straight pipe is expensive and getting another pipe over the axel is a pain. When I did this, 4" straight pipe was 5.00/ foot. Its closer to 7.00/ foot now. Bus is 33 feet long.
