Hey everyone! I've been on this site before but I messed up my account information! ahahah I've got a 2000 6.5 turbo diesel, 5 window school bus that I've mostly finished... (mostly?) I've been given a REALLY sick job offer in Kentucky and I've got to get over there soon with my bus, so I have...

@WarWagon If I choose to keep this, it will be a mobile touring rig & self-contained house. Lots of miles every year as I play my music in various cities. I'd honestly like it to be capable of towing a trailer and possibly hauling stuff that's tied up to it... like logs. I'm buying some land in...

The bus is a 2000. The alternative fuels aspect and fuel efficiency is definitely one reason why I bought the motor. I have had mixed success and failure with this project. The heater core is plugged with bolts on both ends of the hoses. The AC system in the bus was completely shot and when I...

Well, from what I'm determining here... 1) It won't make it over the Rockies, because it barely made it through upstate NY. It overheated multiple times on a 10 mile steep mountain climb and smoked so badly that the people behind me couldn't see and the police came. It didn't have the...

Hello there! I'm James. I'm a musician and an adventurer, as well as a permaculturist. I have a Corbeil 5 window School bus with a Chevy 6.5 naturally aspirated diesel motor with a 4L80E auto tranny and no dually. I converted the bus to be warm and safe and hold everything I need for outdoor...
