werent these things L-10 powered with ZFs?

[dyip90]

Those were the all-retired D40-90 series. The D40-88s and 89s are powered by DDC 6V71N and Allison V731ATEC.

I know that these New Flyer D40-88 and D40-89s are still in service in the Greater Toronto Area, but the D40-87s and D40-90s are all retired. Did you get what I said?

[dyip90]

Yup, the 87s and 90s retired early to heavier frame corrosion.

When did those D40 89 buses retire?

[fargeek]

yeah I kinda figured by the way the rear looked because in the U.S we have all buses usually setted up with REAR A/C

i loved these busses during the summertime. The wind coming through those windows felt awesome.

[ttcgeek]

Actually, this is in Canada.

R.I.P 1988-89 D40HFs, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

[ClassicTVMan81]

Most of the U.S.-spec New Looks and Classics (see San Diego, Santa Monica, Denver, Grand Rapids and Salt Lake City) imported from Canada had used either the 8V-71N (until 1982) or the 6V-92TA (1981-86) Detroit Diesel engines.

Only in Boston and in GM's motherland, among other places, were there New Looks and/or Classics equipped with the 6V-71N.

How many of these are left now?

[qwandiddy]

At least I got the paperbus of 2 D40-90s, plus 1 that I retraced to OC Transpo D40-90.
