Which Engine is most desirable in a BUS? Dwight Appleby 6-12-09  
Hello I'm retired military looking to do a bus conversion to use as a live aboard which diesel engine and transmission package is most desirable in an older 70's or 80's MCI or Prevost bus? How do I evaluate the air bags to see if they are good? I've been told that all have minor leakage is this true?
Thanks,
