SInce this bus is never used, put it on the back burner for now. Before we redo the brake system AGAIN I want an analysis of the issue...why are they acting up to this extent again, I mean, and if it will happen again.

It's only a 2 ft distance. I'd really like to go in deeper and look, but if you say so.

I just did some minor adjusting and retesting and eventually got the thing to stop legally. There was a lot of moisture in the lines which was causing a few issues also. ALWAYS PUMP DOWN YOUR BRAKES.

This bus can go back on the road.

Well, we may have an issue when the DOT arrives in a few months, but it'll do for now.

For some reason I always thought S19801 had hydraulic brakes. Hmm, pumping down brakes on a bus with a hydraulic system, that's news to me! :P

Random fact, I was looking on the roster to try and find that out, and I realized that my bus is the only bus in the fleet with a chrome grille! 8)

But S19801 is only 12-pass, and S10601 is only 14.

I'm just giving you a hard time, Sam. :P ;D
