Insanely Throaty GMC FedEx Ground Truck with a CAT Engine
I found this clip on my phone that I took and forgot about some time ago, but it's definitely worth sharing.
I have no idea what specific engine is in this truck, but it's a CAT engine for sure. It sounds absolutely incredible.
Enjoy!

Valley Metro Bus Compilation (June-August 2023) (OVER 30 MINUTES OF BUSES!)
Переглядів 2,1 тис.3 місяці тому
Here's my longest Valley Metro compilation to date. My main focus with this one was once again on the 2014 New Flyer C40LFRs, this time trying to get good footage of as many of them as I can before they were sent off into the sunset. Many of the Transdev Phoenix North buses (the 5061-5120 series) featured in this compilation are now retired or auctioned off. They are listed below. I also made s...

Not a fan of these.. if someone gets on this bus that hasn't showered in a month or someone sneaks a hit of fentanyl, theres no option to crack a window.. you either deal with it or get off the bus..
Hey, will you ever record Valley Metros New Hybrid Buses?
Not yet, but I do plan to
You now have 600 subscribers thanks to me!
Appreciate it man!
I love your guy’s bus 169 2007 HDX, it feels nostalgic to me, even though it’s retired
12:25 my favorite bus (I’ve ridden this exact same bus, 8099, on the 70!)
Can you make a video solely on Valley Metro RPTA buses any time soon?
I have some footage that will probably be edited down the road at some point
@@phoenixbuschannel okay 👍
Only city I;ve ever seen with a route 0
7:12 7:23-7:26 (7:27, 7:29-7:30) Valley Metro’s XN60 articulated clown buses… 🤡🤡🤡 yahoooo! These articulated clown buses make funny and silly clown noises from the Voith transmission when decelerating. In other words they start clowning around when decelerating. 🤡🤡🤡
Is this the same transit for pheonix?
Same agency, different buses
@@phoenixbuschannel Thank you, I needed that cleared up because my uncle worked at the one in Phoenix, he always said it was a different agency.
It's a little complicated, having three different companies employ the drivers, two for Phoenix, and Keolis for the east valley
5:19-5:20 BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
Just deleted the cat and DPF out of my TDI. It’s like a new car!!!! Highly recommend everyone do it to the other TDIs. I went with Malone and Rawtek. Mo’ powa!
damn that thing sounds awesome lol
Right? To think I just stumbled upon it randomly
I hate catalytic converters
dang that thing sounds straight piped
I’ve been on the exact same bus on the 27 on my way to the Metro Pkwy light rail station!
I’ve ridden this exact same bus on the 29 and it made some creepy but good sounds as it was moving.
1:40 6:32-6:33 A/C is on 2:56 7:23-7:24 A/C turns off
Liquified Natural Gas? What is that? Differences between that and CNG? Advantages and disadvantages?
We have the dlf40 versions at the laquardia airport in NYC, and it seems the cng versions went to la airport. We have a Utah gillig bus in the Utah paint scheme at the laquardia NYC airport to.
Makes me sad knowing that almost half of the 2014 C40LFR roster is retired
Yes they are getting Gilligs
@@thetransitspotterWill they ever get a different type of gillig? The LF-40s look so outdated
Ride on👍👍
Thank You!
Hey guess what?? Salt river tubing in Arizona has ine of these buses and is owned by jet limousines
I saw it on TV. Do you know which one?
Only 4 of these for Phoenix that's local

I rode one on the 72 to film some elevators, and it was the EXACT same one which is number 8066.
Not sure if you know this, but that’s definitely an Allison B500R.
Ah yes 6688. I remember this bus. I was very impressed on how it took off on the 77 back in 2021. I even have a short audio of it.
9:50-9:51 my favorite bus
I miss driving that bus suck I don’t work there anymore
0:08 “Route 41 West, to 59th Ave and Indian School.”
Relax and take a ride
Relax and take a ride
Nice!!!!
I’ve never got to ride on one of those 2007 New Flyer D40LFRs. 😢
*6669 is the ONLY L40LFR unit in the history of Valley Metro to use the green color scheme.
NEVER seen this bus like this before!
8530?! Wow! That IS a high number!
I work for FedEx but I’m not a contractor driver I’m a package handler but I unload these at work I would love to buy one of these used as a unique daily driver and it would haul the atv I want to get really well and I’d want to tow a small camper with it I would have to have the ac charged so it has air conditioning what do one of these tow if you know I know they don’t tow trailers with them at FedEx so I’m curious if people know what they tow I know it would be unusual to want one as a daily driver used after they get de commissioned and go up for sale these fascinate me I think it would be cool to own one

Cool buses. I remember being in highschool these rolling out around 2016. Had a very distinct 2nd gear grind on most of those gilligs
This XN60 articulated clown bus makes a funny and silly circus whistle/clown whistle type sound when it decelerates because of the Voith transmission. The transmissions on the RPTA’s XN60’s are funnier and sillier than the ones on their XN40’s 🤡🤡🤡 (the transmissions on the RPTA’s articulated clown buses are funnier and sillier than the ones on their standard-length clown buses 🤡🤡🤡) That clown bus caught being funny and clowning around on camera with clown noises 1:16 (1:21) 2:15 (2:17, 2:20) 2:46 4:04 5:19 6:56 (6:59) 7:45 10:17 yahoooo! These clown artics are the funniest buses in the entire Valley Metro fleet and the funniest buses in Arizona because they’re always in silly mode. It’s like my favorite bus (a 2016 New Flyer XD60 with ISL9 and Allison B500R), but in silly mode and a different fuel type which is CNG.
The Flash is going away
The FLASH is still alive.
According to TranSee, bus number 5692 exist? Is it also an XD40?
Not sure, maybe?
@@phoenixbuschannel or maybe a diesel gillig?
I think that would be more likely seeing the buses Phoenix has bought lately
@@phoenixbuschannel5692 is at transdev north, it’s a new flyer, saw it on facebook. It looks like those XD40’s for the west valley express buses, but the roof looks different? Maybe it’s an XD40 or XDE40
Got a link?
12:11 “Route 72 South, to Chandler Fashion Center.”
It’s good to see your uploading again! This unit went to LA Charter with the same unit numbers fyi
