I've never tried bypassing it altogether. I couldn't even tell you if the circuit is triggered by voltage or ground.

It should, but I would do research just to be sure.

Allison 2000s built in the second half of 2006 or later can be re-flashed to enable 6th. Prior to that, they need a valve body upgrade before they can be re-flashed.

@@thetslabus Do you know anything about the 2500s?

@@nicksevers07 my understanding is the 2500 has same reflash requirements as 2000 series, just has to be new enough to already have the upgraded valve body from factory or you have to do it first.

@@thetslabus Ah ok thank you

Thanks!

That was its number from the district

Thanks!

Microsoft Visio. Each grid square was 1 linear foot as I recall.

The boxes were factory installed. This bus was an activity / field trip bus so came equipped with the storage boxes, larger fuel tank, beefier transmission, etc. All I did in this video was re-finish them with the truck bed liner. Best I can tell there is a pretty extensive framing around the entire box, similar to the fuel tank although not quite as beefy. Thanks for watching!

Congrats on your bus but I worry about your drivetrain. A 2011 CE200 is most likely the Maxxforce 7, one of the most unpopular engines out there. I wish you best luck though! I'm not sure on the storage boxes for dimensions, I'd have to measure but off the top of my head each one is roughly 3 feet long, and about 18 inches deep and tall. Thanks for watching and I'll have new videos soon. Been a crazy busy summer which I'll talk about in my next video :)

I have a separate video talking about the transmission, but almost any Allison 3000 can be unlocked with a reprogramming. I recommend Charlie Ball (find him on FB) for that.

The only lights I've replaced so far are the rear brake and turn lamps. I got those off Amazon. Eventually I'll swap out the clearance lamps as well. For the sides I'll change out the whole fixture to an LED unit, either from Amazon or my local truck supply shop called Sadler Power Train. The front and rear center clearance lamps I'll just swap out the bulbs and leave the fixture as-is since those fixtures are more "embedded" into the body than the side markers which are more external. For changing out the red/amber "8-way flashers" I used the same brake/turn lamps on the back. The front ones will be white flood lights. For now I just have some cheap Amazon reverse lamps (same as the brake/turn (only in white) but I'm continuing to shop for a better solution. Those are OK but not quite bright enough for my intended purpose.

It was nice... I miss it!!

Yes, I highly recommend Charlie Ball. He did mine with excellent communication, prompt service, and a fair price. facebook.com/charlie.ball.399

@tobystoller8076 May I know what model of school bus this is

@@sanJiu-un8qq I’d have to check to be sure, but I ended up buying a 6 speed controller online and recalibrating it with jaltest

@@sanJiu-un8qq Bus model doesn't really matter, I've had a couple of IH 3800's that had the 3060 and currently have one in my RE300, they are about the best trans you can find for a bus or RV in the slush box flavor.

@@thetslabus How can I get ahold of Mr. Ball I don't use facebook

anything's possible but it wasn't really wasn't designed for that. You're going to need the new alternator, custom brackets, and adjust one of the belt paths. Possible, but not easy.

Thanks - I'll definitely check it out!

They're definitely worth the investment. I also like that they provide an written opinion/analysis in addition to the raw data to explain what certain numbers may mean.

You're welcome and thanks for the kind comments!

I think I found a new beer fridge online that will fit perfecty in my kitchen. Definitely can't wait for Spring to really get moving again! Love the idea of an Iowa meet-up!!!

Yep, good point! I made a video a while back about modifying my air tanks to allow a hookup.

It's such a simple way to avoid issues for sure!

@The TSLABUS oh yeah but so many hard headed people on forums think everything is snakeoil. I have experience started using stanydyne on farm so older engines which need the sulphur. Well did exact same job with one ttactor and always could get x amount of acres or hrs per tank well started using stanydyne it economy went up 10-20%. So it does work.

Glad to help!

I have a love-hate relationship with my angle grinder and try to use it as little as possible :)

I sent it off to Express Transport (Charlie Ball). For a fee, he reprogrammed it and shipped it back. The Allison 2000 can be unlocked if built after mid-year 2006 I believe. Prior to that it would require some additional hardware to be installed in the transmission itself in addition to reprogramming.

Glad I could help!

Thanks!!! Makes total sense now that I think about it!

That's a great idea too! In my case I'll have to wash and maintain from a ladder at the sides...
