no warranties expressed or implied

PLEASE ONLY BID IF YOU INTEND TO PURCHASE. BY BIDDING YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A CONTRACT.

This truck has served us well for many years. But we have another one and it's time to let it go. Engine is very powerful and responsive. Also installed is a 2” receiver hitch and brake controller for towing convenience.

Bus comes with 10 passenger seats (3 are installed, 7 are not installed).

Also comes with ratchet tie downs for wheelchair restrainment.

Has a Braun Millenium Wheelchair lift which has all 3 new hydraulic cylinders.

Interior is partially disassembled as seen in pictures but should easily be reinstalled and the pieces will come with the bus.

The linkage between the ignition tumbler and the ignition switch is frozen in the steering column So ignition lock has been bypassed (probably a very easy fix, lubrication might possibly fix it).

Steering is tight and drives straight.

Comes with a spare tire.

Windshield has a crack in it.

Batteries are good and strong Sears Diehards matching.

Autometer Gauge Cluster mounted on the Pillar includes Exhaust Temp, Transmission Temp, Boost pressure.

Transmission is strong and shifts right.

Air conditioner is low on 134a at the moment.

Passenger side exterior convex mirror is cracked (This is an aftermarket part and as such is easily replacable)

Drivers side fender has some dings where the drivers door got into it from worn out hinges. Door hinges have since been replaced and operates as they should.

Brake Controller has never been mounted to the dash and is visible laying on top of the dash in functional condition.

Cruise control does not work.

This truck developed a cold weather stall in the winter of 2015. Ran perfectly all summer afterwards. I've done a lot of research and talked to my mechanic and the speculation is there is an injector O-Ring that needs replacing. This problem may mean that the truck won't stay running to drive away It's very intermittent but normally has only surfaced during cold weather prior to full warm up.

Truck just had a fresh oil change and has most of a full tank of Diesel. All 6 tires match and have lots of tread left on the Firestone Transforce HTs.

It has a few modifications that have been done in order to improve fuel economy. I'll list them here as a potential buyer you need to know about any modifications from stock:

4” Exhaust (muffler exempted)

Stage 1 single shot fuel injectors (this eases the load on the HPOP thereby increasing efficiency)

6 position custom professionally tuned chip from Economy to +100 hp (I've never ran it on anything but economy) this chip takes over the transmission shift points as well and it requires the factory computer to time out it's shift program in order to over ride it. The first time you start and drive the truck it will stay in first gear until the over ride has been made which is approximately 4 seconds. After this time the overdrive light on the shift stick flashes about 1 time a second (it's not very bright and doesn't get into your line of sight and is non obtrusive when driving)

We have really enjoyed this truck for the freedom it has given us! So much so that it has it's own blog: http://www.goshenadventure.com/
