I'll post up some pics of the UGLY version of the diesel for comparison! It's how cow wow now! Compared to what it did look like.
Greg,
I like how their design for the diesel "clean-up" still has a real mechanical/machine feel to it. So much lately has been to smooth and cover. Engines should look like engines .

When you say the bus has the whole drivetrain, I'm guessing you dont mean AWD too? I tried the same ideas on the cooling, duct fans, dual rad fans, oversized rad, I still had issues on a hot, muggy day (but then I'm shade tree and they are Divers ).


Jim,
Thanks! She's gone but not forgotten. That project taught me a ton (mostly how very little I know about fab and re-engineering ). I hope your project gets going again soon.
