I know there are a lot of folks here who do not believe in any "old wives tales" of injection pump failures due to "Ultra Low Sulpher" fuels. Well having worked at a transit agency where we lost over 500 pumps (closer to 800) in 6 months I can honestly say the old wives tales are true ! So...

It's a bit tricky but the door plates can be changed out. You can make up your own out of stainless steel. The rust can also be dealt with, with a few well placed repair panels. Use the search function for people who have repaired their rusty cabs.

Yeah I forgot to mention the "fuel savings" these buses were suppose to have. Did you know all these buses need coolant heaters to keep the engines at operating temperatures ! The stupid Cat C-9 engines do not produce enough heat in a bus system with the hundreds of feet heater hoses for the...

Well after performing my experiment again, and getting the same results I decided to put a gallon of distilled water in my house refrigerator. It took 5 hours to freeze solid this gallon of water. So I went searching on the internet and found some interesting answers. As long as the freezer is...

There "Lithium-Ion" batteries in sealed 2volt cells. They are cooled by hydraulic oil coolers. The same buses are in service in Hawaii (they piggy-backed their bus order on ours) but they have AC units cooling them. The Alison transmissions are extremely expensive and we were the first transit...

Well I can test my "2 gallons" of water again (16 Ibs) but I'm sure the results will be the same again. I'll start tomorrow. Since you proved the compressor is a standard R134 compressor that also confirms what I said all along that this unit is a "Real" freezer not some "Toy" . It also "froze"...

This weekend I finished my tailgate assist system. It closes great ! Just one hand easily closes the tailgate. The one issue it has, is it will not go down far enough. It needs weaker springs. The problem is these where the weakest ones I could find in this style. I suppose I could eliminate one...

I should also mention that the transit agency has over 300 "Hybrid" buses. That means there is a "huge" battery bank on top of the buses. These battery banks are 2 cell units (measuring 4" x 4" x 12" ) connected together with copper alloy links. There is 50 units all together. The weight of the...

All that you said "can" be true, but (there's always a but) if both batteries are the "same" and bought and installed at the "same" time they act just like "one" battery if the connecting cables are good and of the proper capacity. Working in the trucking and bus industry for 4 decades I've seen...

That's what I run also. I have had no problems from them in 5 years now.

So, do you have the "overdrive" kit installed ?

So like I said all along, it is as capable as any house freezer. Yes it "can" freeze something put in it. It doesn't have to be frozen first.

My freezer when running seems to almost pull a vacuum in the freezer box. The lid doesn't want to come up like a vacuum is holding it down. My downstairs deep freeze does the same thing after I close the door. Those wires you have checking on the temperature could be interfering with that whole...

Sounds like your system is not running properly. Could be those wires coming out of the cooler box letting in warm air. Like I mentioned earlier, mine froze 2 gallons of water in under 6 hours.

So what is the temperature now ?

I forgot to ask DieselAddict . Was your freezer already at operating temperature when you put the water bottles in (-23C) ? Or did you put in the water bottles and then turn it on ? That will make a huge difference.

You do realize your taking this way to seriously right ? That's OK though. Good data is always useful. :goodjob:

I know Gimp, it was "Fake" news ! :shock:

I know. He is a bit optimistic. :shrugs:

I know, the wife would just "love" it ! rofl
