Three MCI's in GA. last week.
MCI8 with series 50 an 9speed
MCI8 with series 50 and Allison 755
MCI102C3 with series 50 and B500
Good get together, 1600 miles up and back no problems.

What serial number they did using the upgraded balance shafts in the 50 series ? I remember they had a low oil pressure at idle something like 15 lbs when they switched and you had to buy a kit to resolve the problem.I know the balance shafts and oil pump can be expensive on a 50 series from DD   
Life is short drink the good wine first

All of the one's that I have seen run over 40 lbs at idle.  The shaft in my bus has been replaced at some time.  I can see where it hit the oil pan.
