SevenEleven Posted April 5, 2013 Share #6202 Posted April 5, 2013 when the QM1/ qm1a was still around can someone help me figure out the qm1a cause wasn't there like multiple versions of it? The QM1 was the Fresh Meadows bus while the QM1A was used for both the Glen Oaks (QM5) and North Shore Towers (QM6) service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense that they did that from a marketing perspective. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inside it sounds like an ISL9 but the outside is different. If it didn't have LBSS it would be different so it basically sounds the same just this one is stronger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a soundclip I need to upload of one of the NY Waterway shuttle buses (Amtran/Navistar school bus) with a T444E and it sounds awesome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait Sith Posted April 6, 2013 Share #6217 Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) Yeah I was expecting much more too, I mean it's alright with me but take this LBSS off and let her breathe. LBSS doesn't do much except change the gear ratios. Engine still works the same. Edited April 6, 2013 by Cait Sith 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV9218 Posted April 6, 2013 Share #6218 Posted April 6, 2013 Very few wrapped buses on the 34 today, between the ton of put-ins from the autoshow and a lot of 3800s which have been unwrapped. LBSS doesn't do much except change the gear ratios. Engine still works the same. Exactly, I don't get all the fuss about that. Driving stick vs. automatic doesn't change the engine, it just changes the driving style. Sorta like that with LBSS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the driving style even have to change? As I understood it, the LBSS system just tries to balance out gear shifts to keep performance uniform at higher loads and on hills. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorta like that with LBSS. To most of these busfans, its all about the sound.... Does the driving style even have to change? As I understood it, the LBSS system just tries to balance out gear shifts to keep performance uniform at higher loads and on hills. There's a slight change in the handling from what I was told from other B/Os, nothing significant. It's rather minor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHV9218 Posted April 7, 2013 Share #6224 Posted April 7, 2013 5423 is definitely in storage, right? Bus has weirdly been registered as at Quill for months, where I actually remember it ran once or twice last November, but that's been it afaik. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
