I heard that they'll all be gone by 2010. It's going to be hard letting them go... They're my favorite bus.

Same I love riding the d40 buses I have been riding these buses since 1996.

[morrisondandm]

these busses will be trashed along with th 31XX's by the end of 2008 Translink plans on trashing 400 busses in the next 2 years!!!

forget that question, can someone tell me why those D40s look different than the ones in Las Vegas?

[newyorkfan16]

Well, these have a slant back window, and the rear doors are similar to the fronts. BTW tis has a Allison B400R Transmission.

[brownbrownson]

do you have anymore vids of the 1992 D40HF?

[MetroLinerXLZ]

And I don't really like all of those clean air rules...

[newflyer500]

Its the fuel used. If its low sulfer fuel your in compliance and all the diesel engines can burn it. Maybe the glow plugs have to be at a higher temperture. Great video love to see more. Vancouver has less harsher winters. All of vancouvers new flyer buses should be rebuilt and kept in service 7 to 8 more years. Much cheaper than buying 450,000 dollar low capacity low floor buses.

FYI, There aren't many Gilligs in AMERICA with this drive train anymore.

I feel that's abnormal to me; 6V92/B400R ?!! eww. Plz get a video with the original drivetrain 6V92/HTB-748.

[6V92TA]

it's a demo man. It came with the B400R. The HT-748 is jus too common for a bus. yeesh if you wanna hear that typical drive train ride a Gillig.

[newyorkfan16]

You know what, you're right, you're absolutely right. I love it now, thanks for putting it up.

[6V92TA]

WOOT!!! 6V92/B400R!! i love that sound!!
