The bus has sat a week and a half
dead batteries
and before I get comments about I shouldn't Rev that bus like that. Well I'm here to tell you it wasn't me. Once it caught the engine Revved itself up to stay running. again wasn't me.

I love the look of this modern dash compared to my 1998 school bus with the same DT466E.

[@josephbugaj8149]

Not surprising the motor revved out like that of its own accord. Mine did the same once with the VT365.

[@colinthepanamerican]

these damn dt446 diesel engines really sound like a cummins

[@aaronevans5635]

It’s a 7.6L in-line 6… so yea..

[@xtr_es1164]

Sounds like a 5.9 Cummins in a second gen ram

[@charlesrodriguez7984]

I think a Maxxforce DT would sound about the same since the size and block of the engine never changed.

[@knightrider1545]

Was that a limiter it hit when it went past 2k rpm?

[@TheGoldenEagle14]

Yeah. Neutral limiter. It'll rev higher in gear

[@nicksevers8045]

They're limited to either 2700 or 2750, it might've hit it but the gauge might have not kept up
