      It's ok, but if you ever drive the ones with a 6.7 cummins you'd never want to drive one with a Mercedes again, that cummins make it look like a joke, to be honest compared to the cummins it is, I've never heard of a stock Mercedes breaking driveshafts, Allison's or twisting a chassis, but a stock 6.7 with some computer tunes has

    This Thomas Safe-T-Liner C2 is really a Freightliner M2 chassis with the M2 cab all tricked out for school bus applications. The dash and steering wheel is from the Freightliner M2 medium duty truck. What this thing replaced was the last Thomas Safe-T-Liner conventional body which they have been making for many years. The springs are already beginning to show wear as the smooth ride quickly gets a little rough. The plus side to having these type of wipers is that the mechanic doesn't have to climb a ladder to get to the wipers like he had to on the old conventional bodies Thomas used to build. But I have seen a possible option to where you can have the wipers hang from the top as a custom design or have the right hand wiper reversed so that both arms lean towards the middle.

  • @cdgarrett1
    @cdgarrett1 6 лет назад +6

    Is it goverened for highway speed? If it is goverened for highway use, how many miles per gallon of diesel does it get on the highway? How much MPG in the city? How much headroom in the center isle walking front to back? The road look prety chewed up, asphalt must not last long there. Smoother roads in Virginia might not shake it as much.
