34 - Returning Home

Just taking this bus back to the driver's house. You know the basics, I think. It's a 2017 Blue Bird Vision. Powered by a 220 Cummins and 2500 series Allison. These are fair. Slow on a take off and gutless when at highway speeds.

Thats a nice vision right there.

[@jackjohnson9700]

This exact bus was in Clarksdale Mississippi for a Drill meet today

[@YohnnyHUB]

best camara spot ever for a school bus. I love that view.

[@carwashslayer4235]

Me 2 I wanna see a 2006 Bluebird Vision CAT C7 with this camera angle

[@football11248]

My school district have 11 vision. 1 diesel and 10 propane!

[@Bluebirdvision91]

Ive done my research on this. Any vision built after 2013 come standard with allisons Economy mode enabled in the TCM with no way to disable it except the dealer. Personally i hate that they did this but it was supposed to help mileage. Limits the amount of power for take-off and gives lower shift points and lugs the engine horribly before it will downshift. I don't like driving the newer ones just for this reason. Sucks

[@9sb19]

Finally! Someone who knows buses like I do! I could not have said it any better myself. I hate it and there's no way it can be any better on fuel. You have to keep the damn thing floored to even move along and it lugs the engine so bad when it's loaded. I can't stand driving them either. Yet Internationals' software will enable the economy mode when it's under no stress, but when they're loaded they will hit the governor and take off like an old bus. Anytime I drive one of these, I will manually shift it when I feel necessary.

[@Bluebirdvision91]

Yeah, I had to take our 6 2014s back to the dealership for hood repainting this past summer and driving them was not a fun experience. Our 2018s arent as bad but theyre still bad lol.

[@AJDeere]

This explains why the newer ones rev up high then super low on acceleration right

[@carwashslayer4235]

@@AJDeere Yes that economy mode needs to be disabled by the Allison dealer.

[@BusDriver71]

Of course, this is not true for alternative fuels like gasoline and propane, because they have Ford transmissions.

[@sebastinbillings8523]

[@jyotikaurchevroletavalanch5416]

Cummins 6.7l engine

[@jerrysylvesterjr]

These things suck ass. On these new visions The Engine sounds like it's knocking. I thought my Cummins CE was slow... not compared to these. Lmao. Plus these things don't look that good on the outside either. Lol

[@TellurideS13]
