series 50 detroit running

chippewa transport series 50 running

[@PunkyBear36]

Ah, a distinct, unmistakable noise. You can hear it in city busses from several blocks away!

[@md_randoms2429]

Yeah it sounds like my towns internationals

[@MrWill1985]

I didnt think trucks had series 50. I always thought only transit buses did and Greyhounds 1998 MCI MC12s. I have heard several series 50s on transit buses as old as 1994 and as new as 2005. Even though the Series 50 was discontinued in late 2004 the Gillig bus manufacturer had enough series 50s to accommodate Pittsburgh Port Authority Transits 60 2005 Gillig Low Floor buses.

[@Dieseldickrick]

I knew they sounded familiar in pittsburgh.

[@beelineenthusiast]

trucks did have them 😂

[@najeegibson1365]

I thought the same.

[@8v71buses]

Sounds just like the Series 50s on Orion Vs, Gillig Phantoms, and MC-12s. Music to my ears :-)

[@TheCRTman]

Exactly!!

[@TorontoTransitFan]

8v71buses you forgot Orion vii first Generation.

[@transitvidss]

@@TorontoTransitFan those have the EGR version.

[@TorontoTransitFan]

TTC_7749 oh I see, I thought this truck had the EGR.

[@bcferriesman1438]

i like the sound of a series 50 in a new flyer d40lf especially with a voith transmission if you dont know what that sounds like look at this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqqYmKmpoMyHf7c or this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXbKmJWgr9N2pZo

[@eduardososa843]

Sounds like the Orion V the ones from NYCT RIP

[@theyashapro]

that Air Start tho

[@midwestIAboy]

Man that air starter is putting in some work

[@gaav888]

Like the hungarian model C56 Ikarus bus engines...sound is similar. They got 4 cylinder, 205 Kw (275 hps) engines back in 1998...

[@translinkboy1220]

Aw man reminds me of a series 50 EGR, is just if it had a b400r transmission

[@sandasturner9529]

These series 50s are becoming a rare breed now. Better to find two of these and rebuild them.

[@TheCRTman]

I love this video!

[@kesando84]

The engine that replaced the 6v 2 strokes in NYC RTS Busses

[@md_randoms2429]

2 strokes sounded better but 4 strokes are more fuel efficient and make more torque

[@mammottplays7888]

Sounds like d40lfs, d60lfs, c40lfs, and orion vs in Vancouver

[@vze428s7]

lol never heard a dd50 in a truck before!!!! prolly a dd60 or cummins but not a 50!!

[@JTProdigy]

Wow..... a DD S50 in a truck?!

[@nyshortline]

@jesehowells WOW!! I thought the Series 50 was too tall for an FL70. Amazing.

[@TheCRTman]

ClassicTVMan1981X Ninja Bus Fan Rare Series 50 TRUCK!

[@jamale.jamison6499]

I want this engine in a Freightliner FS-65 Thomas built buses package and an Eaton-Fuller 6-spd manual with the longest wheelbase and passenger yellow school bus

[@powellvalley]

I'd never heard of a 50 series until I saw this video. Did they come with Jake Brakes and how big are they compared to a 60 series?

[@OregonTransitFan]

Series 60 was the 6 cylinder version of the 50

[@AirplaneFreak]

bob tanner It's more of a transit bus engine.

[@sandasturner9529]

8.5 liters of displacement

[@kidfly2712]

Mi love it

[@jesehowells]

@vze428s7 now you have great liitle engine

[@nyshortline]

Is this an FL80 or FL106?

[@willbill808]

That’s one big 4 pot.

[@szaracenzsakos6952]

Ikarus c56 have this motor.

[@jirehmartin]

about time !

[@jesehowells]

@nyshortline its not a 106 look at the hood 9its not 106 inch its a 70

[@STMclassic]

beautiful! whats it hooked up with a B400R?

[@sonicboy678]

That's a transmission meant for buses.

[@WARD5KUSTOMZ]

lets hear it under a load

[@gizmo98632]

is a 50 series a 4 cylinder?

[@K1ll3rM4st3r]

gizmo98632 correct

[@gizmo98632]

K1ll3rM4st3r would I be right in saying they used these in the shorter 30 foot gillig phantoms normally for city bus service? I always wondered what type of engine it was. a very distinct sound

[@K1ll3rM4st3r]

gizmo98632 yeah, they were favored in the transit bus industry because it was compact

[@gizmo98632]

K1ll3rM4st3r watching and hearing this brought back memories of the days I'd ride the bus. I always asked what engine it had only to be told it was a John deere engine.. pfff

[@K1ll3rM4st3r]

gizmo98632 it appears that bus model could've been ordered with several different powerplants, the DD 6v92, series 50, cummins l10 or ISB in the later years

[@5.43v]

Air starter wow
