What coach is this engine in?

1993 MCI 102C3. Radiators are up high in this bus and nowhere close to the water pump.

Hmmm. Might be time for an alternate plan. watch your six!

They quoted $3,700. To fix a water pump and replace thermostats. I about fainted.

With that said does anyone know a trustworthy mechanic in San Diego with working knowledge of these older 2 stroke DD's? I used to go to valley power but they closed their shop in SD.

$3700.00 is the we don't want to fool with it quote ,5 hours @140.00,2 tstats's with gaskets and seals $125.00,coolant $250.00,new hoses and clamps $100.00 tops 1 rebuilt exchange water pump from DD $650.00 maybe throw in a oil change for $250.00,$2000.00 is overpriced

Yeah, most likely right. But to confirm there is no need to remove the radiator right?

NO unless he was planning on sending the radiators out to be cleaned and rodded
