So the lady with the bus says the batteries are dead. I can bring my batts up there to try to start it I have 2x 8D's in my MCI. Is it 12 or 24 and will my 8D (1400 CCA) be enough?Here is the kicker - I have never started, driven or even seen anything but an MCI 7, 9, 5...Please tell me they are similar to startup.I will take lots of pictures
Danr,Lots of good people offering to help on this. And I know it's difficult for you and the lady selling the bus to answer most of the questions about the bus.But really to get you the correct information you need to make your decisions on we need to find a way to help the seller help us.Now that said I can't tell you where to have her look for VIN at on many buses as I just have not had to look for them myself. (but I know others here can tell you!)Older MCI's had info plates with the VIN and other important info directly over the drivers head above the window. (and I know older Setra's did too!)Then in the 80's MCI started putting it in the stairwell on the left as you step in the coach.Setra and even some newer MCI's now put them in the corner beside/behind the drivers seat.I know I have seen a few GM's with a little tag riveted to the front of the dash on the right as you step in the coach. These are the "simple" places to ask her to look. (there are other places on the chassis that are not so easy for the average person to find)Also I know you said she had no way to take pictures. Is there anyway possible she or a friend could take pics with a cell phone and send them to you in a "text msg" (we do this all the time between my family and our driver to send pics when internet is not available) Then you can either download the pics out of yer phone to a computer or email them to yerself an share them.A few pictures (front, side, rear) will answer a lot of questions (not all, but many!)Other than that you might see if she can have some one fax you a copy of the title so you can verify the info from it.

Danr,, The Red Rider (AKA Mikey) and I will be in Benson probably in the middle of the week to pick up an 06 transmission, we are both GM guys and I have some MCI & Eaglet experience, we will be leaving Cedar City, Ut. Monday or Tuesday and drive straight thru 623 miles one way. ( One day down & one day back) We are both retired and have time to give that coach a good look see, fuel is going to be about $175.00 round trip so a little donation to the fund would buy you two pair of eyes and some pictures.>>>Dan
Hi all am looking for somebody in the Benson AZ area to go and look at a GMC coach for me.... The lady that has it does not know what the model is or to much about it.
