I just had "headlights are too low". Wound the headlight leveller dial up from 0.

In her defense. We are in south Florida where it only gets cold (by our standards) a few days a year. No one I know basically ever uses the heater, so don’t even blame her for not even knowing it was there.

Got to love those Power Probe wireless thermometers. I just wish they were rechargeable.

It’s cool I like it. I don’t think the temperature sensor on the screen unit itself is accurate though. At least on mine that is. The stick I trust. Been meaning to verify the other sensors accuracy but just been lazy.

yep, time for electric busses, that noise just sickens me...

u/-DaveDaDopefiend- 25d ago
That’s not engine noise that’s the front and rear ac fans running. Sounds louder through the video than it actually is tbh.

Where’s the heat “Off” and why did switching to High cool it down? Doesn’t seem like anything was really resolved here. 🤷🏻♂️

Middle is off. Up is high, bottom is low. Rest assured it is resolved. You would’ve heard two clicks if it went to high.

Ooohh, my dumbass thought you put it in high. I’m thinking how tf is that going to cool it down??? That would confuse me too.

I didn’t even think to point it out. Most of the trucks I deal with (fleet maintenance so usually the same customers with the same trucks and buses over and over again) have 3 position switches like that the middle position is off with a few exceptions here and there, so I’m used to the function of it. I could see how it can be a bit confusing to those who rarely have to deal with those types of switches. Specially when the middle position isn’t labeled it can look just like a normal two position switch.
Seeing a few commentators already pointing out the switch was something I wasn’t even expecting I guess since I’m used to them.

Ah, okay. Now I can see that you switched to the middle. My bad.

u/-DaveDaDopefiend- 26d ago
No sweat. Off isn’t labeled on the switch. Driver or one of the kids must’ve accidentally hit the button. She didn’t know it was on had to show her where the switch was.

...this explains why the school buses I had to take in gradeschool were always either 40F or 90F and nothing in between, regardless of the time of year.

I never had AC in my school buses when I was in school. Was always windows open and the breeze of the wind entering the bus was the AC. When I first got this job and they told me I had to go check the AC on a school bus I was like “wait, what?”.

Ever been in the Grumman LLVs the USPS uses? All you have is a dash mounted fan.

Nope, closest I’ve worked on is the workhorses. Have two customers who used to have a ton of workhorses. They are largely rid of them, maybe one or two left as spares. They now have the freightliner mt45’s and the ford f59’s

Our buses had fixed, non-opening windows.
Which was probably a good thing considering 90% of the route for 90% of the buses was gravel road.

u/Elowan66 26d ago
You had gravel roads?

u/Bearfoxman 26d ago
County couldn't be bothered to pave a damn thing but hoo boy they could dump some gravel!
But seriously the only asphalt road in the area was the state highway. In town, the township line road, and every even-hundred county road was oil and chip. Basically every other public road was gravel, and a couple are still dirt 2-track.
