Nothing like the 6V92TA letting out the most serious turbo whistle here!

It was almost doing 50mph in 2nd gear. What gearbox does it have?

[@andrewcanterbury880]

your an awesome driver

[@giuseppedini887]

I got my class 2 with air brakes endorsement in 2012. I love driving buses and I must say the MCI classic has to be the all time best bus ever made and driven. you are a good bus driver. my name is Joe from Montreal city,Quebec, Canada🇨🇦

[@AlainHubert]

Awesome sounding Detroit Turbo Diesel, thanks for the ride and sharing !

[@agtronic]

The 6V92 sound really captures the essence of my youth. I took MCI busses my whole life until I got my license. The one in your video is turbo, while we had superchargers in MTL. The engine sounds the same, but we don't have that whistling, we get a whining sound instead. Thanks for posting this!

[@15140Productions]

What's the difference between turbo and supercharge?

[@agtronic]

@@15140Productions Both are compressors that pressurize the intake air charge, but they are driven differently. While technically, they are both "super chargers", what we commonly call a supercharger is a compressor that is driven mechanically off the engine, via a belt or chain, or even gears. A turbocharger, on the other hand is driven by the exhaust gas leaving the engine. A supercharger tends to whine, and will rev up at a constant speed relative to engine RPM, where as a turbocharger will whistle and its sound or pitch varies with throttle input as the engine loads up. The following video features a bus with the same engine as the one in this video, but is supercharged. You can hear the supercharger whine as the engine RPM rises: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmOZiJifm7mHhZY

[@agtronic]

@@15140Productions And here's some more Detroit Diesel audio porn for you. I recorded this at work (YUL), though it is a 6V53 not 6V92. Essentially the same sound, just older series Detroit 2-stroke V6. I used a stereo microphone, try with headphones for best experience: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpnRd4d_p66GgK8

[@agtronic]

@@15140Productions And another 6V53, does the sound remind of an old STM bus? kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWW4iKt-bplqjaM

[@15140Productions]

@@agtronic Absolutely! I have a video of a ride on 15-140 with 6V92TA on my channel.

Nothin like a 6v92ta Give that thing hell

[@bronxfireradio]

Reminds me of riding the Liberty Lines in NYC in the early 90's.

[@seanburns9416]

I'm a transvestite,,would love to ride on that nice old bus,,,,great video

[@nookguy6602]

that was a nice ride. I love this video.

[@agtronic]

It's strange to hear a turbo version of this motor. In Montreal, we had supercharged models. It's funny, you can hear the same engine, same transmission, but the supercharger whine is missing and there is a turbo whistle instead. Pretty damn cool. I've ridden these busses so much that it hearing this today is like hearing the voice of my own parents. Extremely familiar.

[@tipsandtrips7519]

Reminds me of my own driving. When I take off, I put the gas to the floor. Oh, the MC-9 or MC-12...👍

[@jamesrhoden9902]

Ricky Webster I do my c2 school bus like that sometime

[@Braydon.croft.]

man i love the MCI classic!!!!!!!!!!!

buddy.... this is an awesome 2stroke ride.....realy nice.....:))))))))

[@louisrobertson7310]

Wow that bus sounds awesome and Warren you handled that bus like you been driving classics for 20 years.Next time I will knock off work and hopefully go up with Jovan on same greyhound or megabus.My mci classic rides were limited to last day of NYBS 6-30-05 I had 1490 over to Morris park and a 1700 back with wc lift in front.

[@deadpigeons3136]

When's the next one

[@97SCT]

This has to be the only ex-FunTrek (Canada Coach Lines) unit intact right now. Originally numbered 2201.

[@eyestoenvy]

You were cooking Warren

[@mtasubwaymartasubway]

Nyc had them, utah transit, Connecticut transit, big blue bus in LA California, I think that's it. And I know Canada had them, because it's a Canadian bus manufacturer company.

[@demetriusmoore8142]

Hey Warren I love the videos plus I always want to be a bus driver I want to ask is them yall own personal buses

[@TransportSimulatorNationTSN]

That was nice.

[@johnd.535]

Sounds like old Charlotte Transit buses ( Grumman buses).

Warren, you got me all excited bro. Are these buses coming back to Florida NY soon?

[@warrencrosby2620]

There is a scheduled event this month but it's not up state this time

[@jonathansanchez9697]

I like that sound of. Bus

[@mrceleb2006]

I once rode in a bus like this one...for Metrobus Transit in St. John's, the only Newfoundland city that has rear-engined transit buses! These buses are no longer used since 2-stroke Detroit Diesel-powered transit buses are a thing of the past...4-stroke Diesel-powered transit buses are much more common nowadays!

[@warrencrosby2620]

no this belongs to the CBOA group

[@calvincrews3885]

Correct me if I'm wrong but it sounds like a T Drive in the V731 Allison Transmission but it's a V Drive though

[@robertmosley6967]

Always wanted an opportunity to take one for a ride just to see what’s like.

[@warrencrosby2620]

The bus group that owns this one has a second one that runs pretty good.

[@warrencrosby2620]

Yes i am

[@kjchicago1]

+Warren Crosby You handled this bus like a pro! Mighty Fine Driving! Can this here bus go from 0 to 60?

[@neoplandude2932]

Bus probably has a max speed in the upper 50s like most V731s

[@chaossorcerer123]

past jealous

[@seanburns9416]

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jack253]

We recently received an MCI M9 with EnsignBus based in England not long ago. Since it's being an MCI M9 I'm not sure if the engine is a 8v or a 6v.

[@calvincrews3885]

It's a 6V92TA Two Stroke Detroit Diesel engine with HT740 Allison Transmission

[@jaggass]

2nd gear at nearly 50mph? it must have a really low rear end.

[@brownmproductions709]

Cool!

[@Daniel_L_Bain]

the sound reminds me of the gmc rts

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

The powertrain is basically the same, except in the GMC years it was not fully electronically controlled (until the 1987 model year, which was right at the tail end of GMC's ownership of the series). The V731 transmission was first introduced in 1983 (1984 MY) and was heralded as the first Allison transmission to use the ATEC (Allison Transmission Electronic Controls). That was followed a year later by the electronic equivalents of the MT644, HT740 and HT747... the ATEC versions were the MT(B)648, HT(B)741 and HT(B)748 respectively. The DDEC Series 92 engines didn't show up until mid-1986.

[@Spectacular66]

Because the rear bench and engine cover weren't in place it was extremely loud in this one lmao

[@General19791]

Is that a 6V92 I hear! I got to ride that!

[@97SCT]

damn right its a 6V92! :D

[@bryancooper2699]

Great video

[@kanyewest7041]

How can I test drive one?

[@warrencrosby2620]

Its privately owned. So only select people can drive it.

[@urbancombat1000]

One of yu guys have save NJT novabus from being trashed

[@warrencrosby2620]

This group just re-decaled a flexible into the new NJT scheme

[@urbancombat1000]

Yea man I was hype to see it tell them to do it to the Eagle & Metro b

[@369Bandido]

electronic throttle or air pump? because the response is on point

[@warrencrosby2620]

I believe it's electric

[@pieterzwaan4451]

I thought the motor would explode!

[@whackamolechamp]

The intetesting thing about that motor which is a Detroit Diesel 2 stroke is that you are supposed to rev them high and they are loud.

[@styldsteel1]

Is there a schedule of where and when the next one will be? Thanks! i'd give my left arm to see a Classic again!!

[@warrencrosby2620]

No real schedule they just have the events out of the blue! We get like a month or less notice

[@styldsteel1]

Warren Crosby Thank you Warren. Have a blessed day.

[@skgreen12296]

Must be highway geared 1st gear seems long

[@Aaronaitor]

Its a charter bus

[@SaidHead2]

This bus was originally built to do interurban line runs for Canada Coach Lines, in which there were 9 built (2201-2209). This was numbered 2201 when it was originally built.

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

Yep... when CCL was also known as "Fun-Trek"! CCL initially unloaded these buses in question to Hamilton Street Railway, using the same fleet numbers you describe.

[@francisd-trepanier5735]

[@hempstead1994]

omg

[@Transitfan93]

these buses engine sounds different than the Classics that we have in Canada,

[@warrencrosby2620]

Any recording of the Canadian one?

[@Transitfan93]

I think you can find some on here, type classics montreal and you will find a boat load of some

[@kalelc1996]

Thats because the Canadian ones have roof exhaust, while the ones here in the US had street exhaust making them more bassy

[@philippemorrison478]

I remember the 59-xxx and 60-xxx having that sound, also there was the 56-001 in Montreal Canada, having the same sound when they modified it at the end of its service life.
