2000 International 3800 Bus
DT466e- legendary motor build by Navistar. Inline 6 cylinder turbodiesel. They have made these motors for 50 years and the parts areeasy to get. They can also be rebuilt in-frame!
with MT643 Allison Automatic Transmission- Allison made 2transmissions for this motor, this is the larger of the two.
In early 2020, I had the International dealer in Missoula(Harlow's) pull the original motor and replace it with a motor fromAAA Bus in Phoenix which at the time had 65k original on it. (Havepaperwork) I also have replaced the fan hub motor and assembly,alternator and some of the sensors in the last year to get thismotor running amazingly!
All 4 rear tires were just replaced this summer and the steer tireshave plenty of tread left- see photos. The 2 batteries werereplaced in late 2019 with NAPA Heavy Duty Commercial units, theyare hooked up to a 4A trickle-charger that is wired into the frontbumper- see photo an there is also a built-in kill switch. It justhad a fresh oil change 10/1/21. This bus needs absolutely nothingmechanical done to it.

Build:
The bus was gutted and renovated as follows... Stripped to metal onfloor, walls and roof. Floor was coated with 2 coats of industrialepoxy paint and framed with 2x4s (see photo) and 3/4" plywood andinsulated with 3 1/2" of foam board, glued and caulked at the seamsand edges. Roof was raised using custom made galvanized hatchannel, stainless fasteners and welded. (see photos) The new skinis aluminum (think Airstream) and was professionally done using 3mpanel bond adhesive and rivets. Interior was firred out with 2x4sand epoxy coated fasteners and then insulated with 3" of spray foamon the walls and roof, giving an insulation value of R-19. Alloriginal wiring for traffic signals and exterior lights areworking. Windows are rv style and work great. All of the plumbingis professionally done including drain and PEX supply lines. A 5kwDarwf Wood Stove is installed in a beautiful brick and metalhearth. Custom school locker coat closet, and amazing local bluepine ceiling and walls. We use a Yeti cooler for food storage butthe solar system was designed for a frig/freezer that could easilybe installed. Bus is wired both AC and 12DC with plugs on both.

Customwelded hitch receiver rated at 10,000 lbs, currently houses a 4bike rack (included).
