Note: In this video I said the turbo boost sensor has to be replaced. Now we are cleaning them up with Kleenflo spray or Mr. Clean which works great when you soak the part over night keeping away from the electrical connections. A new sensor costs around 60 dollars so removing soot recycles a perfectly… Continue reading Diesel Engine Emission Troubleshooting
Before starting with the school district 20 years ago all of the servicing I performed was on a floor creeper. Lying on my back sliding over a 35 foot span of a vehicle to do a visual and carry out maintenance and repairs was tedious at times. Having a vehicle hoist to work on a… Continue reading School Bus Servicing
This is yet another post on diesel engine emission codes which will never go away until all vehicles are hybrid electric drive. I think the fossil fuel manufacturers are very happy to supply billions of dollars worth of fuel to the world as long as they possibly can. For now all of the responsible people… Continue reading Diesel Engine Emission Codes
The video points out a couple of easy ways to get to the engine by removing the wheel and fender. This is a quick way to gain access to the exhaust manifold which had leaking gaskets. The vehicle inspection rules on a school bus states that any exhaust leaks have to be repaired before going… Continue reading MaxxForce 7 Diesel Engine Exhaust Leak

I have a drawer full of random key chains that are flashlights, stress relievers, heck even a key chain with an insect encased in plastic – swag I took home from trade shows and accumulated over the years. You take it because its free and swear there will be a use for it one day.… Continue reading Never Lose your Keys again with iHere

Many times, it’s the first thing to check on a job, even if it’s just to eliminate battery failure as the source of a problem. However, when you’re… Continue reading Finding the Batteries You Need for Practically Any Machinery or Vehicle
The Allison Automatic transmission module I’m talking about in the video is for a 2500 series model we’re running in all of our newer conventional buses. The older units have the 3000 series transmissions and we found that they were over and above what we needed for our fleet. Not only was it a cost… Continue reading Allison Automatic Transmission Module
Every time we do a service within our bus fleet it always goes on the hoist and is checked thoroughly front to back. The average time for a service varies with which interval we’re doing from a 5,000 to a 15,000 kilometer service. The hoist gives us a chance to check the wheels, bearings, brakes… Continue reading School Bus Steering Repair
School bus repairs in the garage are different every day. The mechanic has to be prepared to diagnose and repair problems in various categories like electrical, air brakes, steering, engines and emissions. I’ve seen problems happen in groups of three and within a tight time frame. This isn’t surprising since every group of buses purchased… Continue reading School Bus Repairs
