Hi everyone, We have a fleet of 158 buses and I believe in 2005 we got 7 new ICs. These were our first of the new generation Internationals. We got 5 77 passengers and 2 speds. The 5 big buses, smelled like your typical new bus, when the new wore off, all 5 started smelling like Vomit, dirty laundry, etc etc. I have narrowed this down to the rear heaters, but any ideas on what could cause this? Because the buses were actually built near our hometown, we have actually suspected that maybe a parent from a rival school that works at the factory has sabatoged us, but I really don't even want to think that way, but has anyone ever had this problem with IC?? Around the 2004-2006 years?? Anything??

There IS another topic on here regarding this issue. Do a search to find it. Something to do with the heater hoses... Good luck!

If all your problems are behind you... you must be a school bus driver.

we have found that the antifreeze if leaking smells like fishy manure,,check your front left heater valve, at the core
