 Late 1996 for the IFS a friend of mine Ty has the 1st ever built a 1996 model and 1994 for the B500 Allison and series 60 only engine offered then,I had a 1997 model I bought new with IFS from Vogue lol it almost broke the bank keeping the front end in shape

Didn't Ty have his up for sale not too long ago?

In the about 60,000 miles I've driven my transit, I've done nothing to the front end. Last year had the front end checked and it was perfect (a bit worn but still safe). Good Luck, TomC

Prevost got the IFS figured out in 2000 they don't have any problems now

The IFS is an option on late model Prevost cars, but a lot of charter operators do not get it because it is expensive. So they have the solid front axle, which rides like a wheel barrow empty. Not so bad loaded. The MCI J comes with a ZF IFS front end, which rides so, so nice. Much better than Prevost's, in my not so learned opinion. lol.

Sure wish it had a overdrive. It's singing at 70.
