Need Some Help
Larry:

Although not familiar with your bus, it could be a problem with a
sending unit. I drive tour buses during the spring and summer months. On
the VanHool coaches I sometimes drive, the retarder will cut-out if the
speedometer acts up. They are equipped with Cummins M11 400 HP/Allison
four, five and six speed. This may not be the situation with a BB -
just thought I'd throw that out there for discussion. I'll watch for the
responses and learn something about the BB FC.

Good luck
