i wish the truck ive driven 6 years back had an L-10...but 2 things would have lacked it anyway....the auto would still shif tlike a truck and, lack of power. I had a M11 and then the N14. the N14, wow....430hp and plenty of torque to the wheels. ahhh the memories
all the way up to like 40 mph. I also like when the transmission "hunts" thru the gears, going from 3rd to 2nd then back to 3rd. Or what i call the ultimate downshift, from 2nd gear down to first then to 2nd gear with the engine pulling loads of power. Long live the ole skool L-10!
RIP CiyBus Flxibles, they retired their last ones a while ago now. Muncie, is another city with out Flxibles now.

Cummins engines sound soft, smooth, and quiet. Detroit Diesels sound hardcore, tough, and loud

Cummins are better with Voith trannies, while Detroit Diesels are better with Allison.

This was a former Muncie, IN unit.

No, 701 through 704 were new deliveries to GLPTC (Lafayette) in 1990. All the former Muncie buses were renumbered 508 and up.

Would this be a 40-foot by 96-inch-wide unit, then?

Whose bus was this #703 originally? That is, if Lafayette didn't have it to begin with.
