It's probably a Champion. They run an Allison 1000 tranny(same size as 2500HD/3500HD GM's). They're what I suggest take the place of the Eldo's up this way...but the fact is that they're built like total crap. They have mega issues with everything. I don't remember who manufactured them, but they're just horrible vehicles. They utilize a Caterpillar engine. Caterpillar makes great engines...if you're using heavy equipment that sits at top RPM all day. It will last forever like that. With stop and go driving, they need re-rings every 4 months or so. CAT needs to stick to machines, not transit.
I'm a bus mechanic, and I'm in the city division. (Frontier and Victory are the only 2 in the burbs, and they're both way the hell out there).
