That's a very nice bus. Back when I rode the school bus we were lucky to have working heat. Most of them are stick shift and if I'm not mistaken they were internationals. Whatever a S1800 or similar was. I remember seeing that on the hood no air ride this was up north in Baltimore. No air conditioning no air brakes until the '80s
I’m pretty sure My district specced 5.87 rear gears on the 2017 and up gen ed CEs. They have lower shift points and shift sooner than the CE300’s and C2’s. The 2016 and 2017 C2’s have 5.57 axles and Cummins ISB. They used to use 5.57 on all of the 2006-2012 CE’s I believe. All of The special ed buses have 5.57 rear axles because of the smaller tire size. I do know for sure that they use the 6 speeds on the 2016- present buses. Especially the C2’s. I can only speculate though.
I noticed you have the Standard Push-Pull parking brake knob 💖🥳😉. Was that a change that you made? I was hoping they were not making that electronic Intelipark parking brake system standard. I rather have a knob that I can physically pull instead of it being electronically applied. I wish they kepted the other suspended brake pedal. I don’t like these ones. Now can you choose different mirrors? Or a regular T style shifter instead of the dial on the column?
@@jackschissler255 I made that change. I think you can still get the T handle. But it’s the same thing. Just a linkage that goes to another box that tells the tcm to change gears.
We get ours next school year replacing all of our 2016 bus specs with next generation IC CE I can’t wait to make a vidoe about that also it kinda gives me Thomas c2 vibes cause of the door switch and i guess kinda BBV😂
It’s for children, who have no respect in any way for these buses, they will destroy literally anything and everything they can get their hands on so make it as bare bones as possible so there’s nothing to go wrong.
That parking brake knob if too far to the right. Should be closer to the shifter. Ky likes making things ergonomically laid out like putting hazard and noise kill switches together so you can hit them all together. Ky wants us to apply parking brake then neutral.
Standard position for the brake valves, just glad they finally put in the bent console instead of the flat console. With the flat, you really had to stretch to get them. The bent console brings it much closer. I’ve been told against applying the parking brake against the transmission still in gear, then it torques against the clutch, instead of already being in neutral. Auto neutral will take care of it anyways, but shouldn’t be the primary system.
Very nice to see the air doors and not those goofy electric ones. Is IC no longer doing the 3 position door or is that just something you just didn't get on this one?
@Bluebirdvision91 tik tok unfortunately got soft so I don't bother going on that app much anymore. It was a blast until the end of 2018. But I've seen worse when the app first came out.
Nice bus , But like they need to upgrade the inside and the seats because it be too uncomfortable when I try to sleep and lay my head on the window. Finna mess around and get a knot on my head
So when you spec these, can you not have a governor on it and just have them be able to be drivable at the maximum speed which I think is 85 mph? Once you spec one at 70 miles an hour can you change it later or is it mechanical? my school district has IC BE Siri school buses, which is used for special education but here in California the maximum speed limit while students are on the bus is 55 mph. Also, can you still get a small school bus for special education transport?
The governor depends on what your state specs state. I think it’s North Carolina has all their buses set to 55. Our in Ky is set to 72. You can change the speed in Cummins Insite but you can only lessen speed and not increase it.
Theoretically you can have them ungoverned, and if you have a good engine and highway gears, like a 3.2 rear end, you can clear (allegedly) 100 mph. I have heard of drivers from an unnamed company, getting their brand new coaches well in excess of that, at risk of severe tire failure i must add. That said, if you are a board operated company, they aren’t likely to approve the specs for that, if you’re independent, your client may not approve of the spec of your buses (if they find out about it). Apparently there are requirements from the states for governed buses, which i’m sure the manufacturer is obliged to follow. That said, it is hard coded into the PCM, and can be altered (allegedly) by anyone with Cummins software and relevant access permissions. And may i add that a 240hp 6.7 ISB is already doing it’s darnest to go fifty, is unlikely to hit the governor anyways, especially with 5.2 axles. A highway spec bus, no problem. A city, country spec bus, difficult. And they do offer shorter versions, i believe around 26 passengers, at which point the chassis is far overqualified for the job, and you’d be down in the cutaway bus range.
The top speed really depends on the gear ratio used and whether or not the transmission has all 6 gears or not. 5.57 gears can get you to decent highway speeds of 70-72 mph on a full size bus with full size tires without 6th unlocked. The ECU can be tuned to also limit throttle when a certain speed is reached.
@@jaysmith1408 with the Allison yes. 9sb19 filmed a video of a 2006 IC CE accelerating to 70 and it was 70 mph in 5th with 2500 rpm. So yes fairly high rpm. For a diesel engine anyway. That’s why districts now order them with 6th unlocked to keep rpm’s low.

This bus looks so great. I love the 6.7L Cummins engine.
We can't wait for a drive video about your new school bus
A good 2006 C2 next to it with those iconic tinted windows!
Wow, She's such a sexy bus, and also I can't wait to drive these in my school district also

Did it cost more to change it back to the yellow push-pull parking brake valve? Or was it cheaper to go this route
The T-Handle shifter still has the linkage connected to the transmission.
That’s true but I don’t think it’s electronic. We never had linkage issues before but I see tons of issues with all this electronic stuff
We get ours next school year replacing all of our 2016 bus specs with next generation IC CE I can’t wait to make a vidoe about that also it kinda gives me Thomas c2 vibes cause of the door switch and i guess kinda BBV😂
Driving video when 👀
3:40 I miss the old IC CE beep
As someone from the UK the inside (excluding the dash looks) so 1950s
It’s for children, who have no respect in any way for these buses, they will destroy literally anything and everything they can get their hands on so make it as bare bones as possible so there’s nothing to go wrong.
It’s an old design that doesn’t need changing. It’s the safest design for the children.
Can we see an updated video of the junk line?
@@Dcsbuslegend sorry there is no more junk line. They’ve all been auctioned off.
That's a nice, bus
So is the bumper striping new thing for Mississippi?
Nice one...which route did you put this one and what did it replace, if anything
@@jerrysylvesterjr went on where 95 was originally.

Did you get the overhead display That shows the reds and yellows
Cool bus!
I Kinda Like The 3rd Gen
I've never seen multiple a/c compressors set up like that.
Imagine the 3rd gen with a manual door
@@GLOATINGMAPLE01 it was such an afterthought with the 2nd gen I couldn’t imagine one with this one.
They could bring back the handle that was on some of the 1st gens that pull out to open and push back in to close
No intellipark! Glad the valve is still an option.
Very nice to see the air doors and not those goofy electric ones.
Is IC no longer doing the 3 position door or is that just something you just didn't get on this one?
@@steventurner820 it’s a three position just not a knob that you turn. Lol that door is still goofy to me but it works.

My school bus had a cat in it when I was in school it was built in 2004
Still not used to the new gen ic’s lol. I prefer the older ones.
I got my first brand new bus after 6 years… a 2024 C2, bus 498
Bout time they changed up the front
Idk but the next gen buses are made differently like the orange blinker streak that this bus my next gen bus don’t have it and it’s a 2025 model
How do these drive compared to second gens
@@IceTheFanDude very different. But it’s a great different. It also rides very well.
@@Bluebirdvision91nice. I hope to get to ride one soon as a bus aid. My district currently has 6 now and lots of newer second gen’s.
That engine bay looks terrible, it’s like they shoved everything in the back.
That’s what happens when you put a small hood on a bus for better forward visibility.
But I wish they would have made more room in the engine bay.
Any more new junk line bus videos or any manual standards bus videos
Are you going to sell it
Where can i order this bus
