WHETHER YOU NEED AN EXHAUST SYSTEM PROTOTYPE OR A LONG-TERM EXHAUST SYSTEM SUPPLIER

Auto-jet has been manufacturing school bus exhaust parts in Clive since 1959. Not reselling. Building. That's why the catalog still reaches the older Blue Bird, IC Bus, Thomas Built, and Freightliner configurations distributors stopped stocking years ago, and why fleets calling for a hard-to-find part usually hear "in stock" instead of "backordered." President John Rapp joined Leisa Fox on the Made in Iowa podcast to talk about how Auto-jet has built and held that model throu

Sustained summer heat pushes school bus cooling systems past their design limits. School bus cooling system failure peaks in the first heat wave of summer service, when components that ran fine through the school year finally give out. The two parts that fail most often, charge air coolers and radiators, give specific warning signs before they go. This post covers the symptoms, the replacement criteria, and how to confirm fitment before ordering. For the winter half of this s

Pre-summer is the right time to order school bus fleet maintenance parts before a marginal component becomes a route disruption. A component that is borderline in June is a failure in August when buses need to be on route and the repair window is gone. Catching it now means controlling the timeline. The 4 Parts to Inspect First These are the highest-priority items on the pre-summer inspection list. The parts most likely to be borderline in May and failed by August: Flex pipes
