bus cummins

[(92)cummins]

the local junkyard in my area has some old buses with cummins and i was wondering if those motors are different in any way like if the mileage would be different or power

[CUMMINSDODGEMAN3]

different govenor springs but most of them were still just VE's, are they in like F700's?

A different governor spring?
They are a non-stationary engine with an AFC, so the pumps are still designed for on-road use.
Other than POSSIBLY having a different' linkage arm, they will perform and function the same as the pumps on the 1st gen Dodges.

I'd doubt they have a differnt gov spring. I looked at BobS's post in the Parts Numbers seaction and the lowest listed is the 2800 spring that is stock in our trucks. I doubt they would put a hot rod spring in a bus

Another thing is they may have the wide aftercooled lines that open up alot of intake possibilities. I think Tacoclaw used them on his truck

Who said anything about a hot rod spring?

[cmann250]

If 2800 rpm is the lowest offered and our trucks came with that, then by default any other spring would have to be higher. I may have misunderstood what you said

[Mark Nixon]

I'm betting they don't even have different governor springs.
An injection pump number, or engine CPL number, would take care of any of the supposition on this.
