LOVE THE SOUND BRAKES AND SOUND OF THE SHIFTING

Best video on KZread. I drive a 2022 Vision gasoline on Rigs of Rods. Also, Blue Bird is the only manufacturer to use a Roush-tuned engine for their newer gasoline-powered buses. NASCAR genes in a school bus. 🖤

All with the traditional bluebird rattles.

i love hearing that turbo wind out its so awersome

Nice video, you should take a CE gas/propane on a spin when you get the chance.

I haven't heard a gas powered bus in a long time. When I was a kid our district had a bunch of gas powered Carpenters and Thomases from the late '70's and early '80's. When I was a teenager they replaced them with your typical diesel Blue Birds.

These much heavier buses must have steep gearing for the V10s to move them. I mean they can move Ford E series, Super Dutys and Excursions.

My school district has lots of bluebird visions

@ICFE300 It would be super awesome if you did a 0-60 video on this Vision.

For some reason, it's hard to hear, but I believe the modified Ford Triton V10 engine in the propane Blue Bird visions operate on high compression to ignite the fuel at medium RPMs which give it the sound of the engine suffering from pre-ignition or spark knocking at idle. Medium RPMs make the ignition of each cylinder only slightly easier to hear from the outside and the compression ignition system gives it it's rattle like sound compared to the regular Ford Triton V10 gasoline engine that operates by a spark/compression ignition system.

I like this bus powered by Gasoline Acceleration

Thank you!! this seems weird to me. it revs so high

When your accelerate it screams man screams very loud. Music to my ears

we just got 15 new CE cummins powered, air brakes, handy buses and we have 15 more IC RE L9 Cummins coming too.

You should do another driving video like this

I love this video

@ICFE300 So what's the verdict on this machine?

Because the Audi R8 has a v10

Bluebird was my splits route bus

It sounds like your flooring it just to get moving. I personally am a diesel loyalists so I’m just not sure about gas in a large vehicle application yet. Have you seen what kind of mileage difference there is to them? I do believe they are cheaper to run in the long run. Just seems like they will receive more engine wear and tear. Any insight to the gas busses would be appreciated! Love your videos!

But back in the day many of the older buses were "gassers" and they seem to do fine. Way back then, you had Ford, GM, International, and Dodge but Dodge stepped out of that arena for some reason so it became just those 3 making the chassis for the bus coach manufacturers. There were several coach manufacturers at the school bus industry peak. International had the 345, 392, 404, and 446 gas V8 engines. I believe the 345, 392 were really common in their school buses. GM had used a 366, 454, and the 8.1L Vortec gas V8 engine. The 366 was the most common until it got replaced. Ford had the 370 and 429 gas V8 engines. The 370 was the most common. Depending on the year each gasser in each of the manufactures engines could be paired with either the Allison AT-540 or AT-545, IIRC. The transmission is known for its particular whine, sirens, and screeches in the first 3 gears. The basic Allison transmission whine was there in all 3 but each of the companies V8 engines had a distinctive sound. It's how you're able to tell a Ford, GM, and International gas V8 from each other.

Blue Bird lets you set the max rpm. Your district probably has it set low. My district has it their visions (propane powered) set as high as they go because it is hilly where I live. When their on a straight away like an interstate, our drivers fly in them. Also, for some reason, Blue Bird sends them from the factory set really low.

How many of them do you have in total?
