travis i threw 2 new walmart batteries in my truck this summer, ran it everyday for a couple months. now mine sits for 2 weeks at a time before i start it. it sat the whole week when we were down in the teens to 0.. turned the key, let the glow plugs warm up a bit and she fired right up. i think as i let it sit longer im just going to disconnect the batteries or pull the fuse like recommended. but so far im impressed that it can sit for a couple weeks in these colder temps and fire right up. was weighing the option of optima, but i found they are alittle overpriced for what you are getting.
oh yea, zj looks good with those 32s bro...

I'm gonna go look at it tomorrow. Glenn said they got it running, has a small fuel leak and the trans won't go in reverse. But it will go forward. I'm not sure if it has an Allison behind it or what, it's an auto.

Anyone have an air brake endorcement on their liscense? How hard are they to get in MD, I know in IL it is just another test you have to take, all written iirc. The bus that we might get has air brakes, and it is huge, like 40'. I'm not sure of all the details yet, I will look at it when I get off work.

Well i went and looked at the bus. It is the big bus like 40'. I can't get it. the GVRW is 36K and has air brakes. I don't have a CDL or airbrake endorsements.
It does have a rear engine CAT motor , not a Cummins.
They G&M need to get rid of it by tomorrow. So if anyone wants it i'm sure they can get it real cheap.

how cheap? is a school bus or like a charter? its just another test, if you want we could just reduce the gvw to under 26,001 and we all could drive it we would just need a dot card. How much does it wieght? but i do have my class a with air brakes i just dont have a passenger endorsement

My old man can drive anything but a HAZMAT tanker and school bus. I think he says he can drive a charter/city busy, but not a school bus because its another test or something. How cheap do you think it will go for?
