Hello All Bus Nuts; I'm new to this board and bus owner. Actually it's not my bus 1981 TMC it belongs to the Bible Baptist Church in Rossville, Ga. We purchased it from a sister church in Va. last February, for our annual youth trips in July.  And occasional local trips. I will post a picture later. I have a question where are the valves to turn the driver's heat on, I have heat in the bus just not on the driver's area. Thanks for your help. I have plenty of questions as I begin to drive it more.

There's a valve in the lower panel on the left of the driver. It's recessed in the panel. Turn it so it points forward and aft, not up and down. It's probably up and down now.

BTW, the term "driver's heat" is a misnomer. You can expect decent defroster function, but the driver doesn't get a heck of a lot of heat from the front.

You should drop by and visit Mr. Bowen (Don) & Joel at the
Choo Choo Express Garage
147 Prater Rd, Rossville, GA 30741
(706) 891-1242

They are a wealth of knowledge and Joel is a pretty darn good bus mechanic and you'll be hard pressed to find ANYONE with more knowledge about the workings of your bus than Don.

Great guys to work with.
;D  BK  ;D
