I remember that week. I went to the lot to start a few buses as a joke. -24* Didn't think my bus would start but it did. I also got a FS65 with a 3126 and later one with a CAT C7 to start.
Can always depend on a Cummins C2! I've been cold starting buses every day last week and this week. Cummins always start no issue, everything else....not so much lol
Leave it to the Cummins 6.7 L and the 7.3 L Navistar engine, because in my opinion those are the best modern diesel engines ever made when it comes to school buses. 99.9% of the time they will not let you down no matter what the weather is or the temperature outside.
Does high idle turn on by it self cause I didn’t see you press the speed control button that normally turns it on our can you do it while hitting the break pad
Most 2014 and later C2s automatically fast idle when the engine is stone cold. Even if it's hot outside it'll do that, but the engine temperature has to be cold (as in, you first started it up for the day for instance).

It was so cold my phone's camera decided to not work
Gonna miss the First Student bus vids but hopefully you can get something your more happy with
1:03 thats a Cold start wow
I’ve come to find c2’s are super cranky to start in the cold but when you eventually get it it’s like the best feeling ever.
FS-65s are even harder to start.
Wow! You can actually depend on these busses to start in the cold! These busses are awesome!

Yeah unless the batteries just don't have enough juice. That was the case with one bus I tried using for a charter 2 weeks ago.

She wasn't too happy about starting at that temp but you can depend on a cummins
what happen to 2013 thomas c2s
One of them died late last year and is now a parts bus. We only have 5 2013s left in service.
