Save for summer service to riis beach (esp. weekends), I don't get throwing artics on the Q35 at all....

I don't either, totally threw me off for a moment there. Still pretty nice to have that kind of variety. This has been the most diverse year for the Q35 from CNGs and diesels to now artics.

 

How the hell do they make that loop turn at Beach 169 (The stop before the bridge) with the D60s? I don't think you can go down that street...

Dunno, gonna try to get a ride on one some day. Well anyone that wants to fan the line take a vid for me, thanks. You have been informed about an artic running on the q35.

So I went to Staten Island today to visit my nieces and I saw this sign while I was getting of the bus...

This was on the S53

School tripper?

 

EDIT: Waitaminute, that's the S53, that doesn't have school trippers, does it?

I know it has trippers from Petrides heading northbound (that was a northbound bus at Broadway & Castleton. Know that area like the back of my hand), so it's possible it was a tripper. But I've never seen that on any tripper I've been on.

 

Unless that was carrying elementary school kids or something.

you do do know that the bus has to be moving if you wanna see boost pressure readings on the pro link right? And I don't see any clamps on that turbo hose either. Unless they reused the old ones(not suppose to happen) and they are just dirty. Also, make sure the clamps on the turbo itself are tight. IIRC, the turbo for the RTS is the one that has to be clocked before you install it. Some people put it on with the clamps loose to make it easier and then forget to tighten the clapms fully.

We went on a road trip and brought the bus back it was only doing like 20-25 MPH max no pwer, had the prolink  hooked up, it read like 0 then 0.6, then 0 again.

 

took the hose off to check the turbo (theres an old clamp there and it was tight)

 

Checked the air filter first but its brand new..
