Just so you know, all of the 2001-2002's 35ft Gillig low floors have been retired as of late-September 2017. The rest of the 2002 40ft Gilligs will soon leave probably at the end of September or early-October of this year.
I'm sorry I know my engine and a series 40 doesn't sound like this this engine in this Gillig is a cummins, no series 40 take off like that they all have throttle delays and this doesn't
We have this same Gillig LF35D in Akron, OH and you wanna talk about some pickup, these bad boys get up and go. The same with the 40'. Probably the fastest buses in our fleet and they're the oldest as of 2018. We got these after retiring the New Flyer 40' Diesels (which were also a powerhouse and had the sound to back it up, but they got weak towards the end of their life. You may get 5-10nph on a hill vs 25-30 in the beginning.) When we retire these and the 40' Gillig Diesels, we will be diesel (and fast bus) free. It'll be two "generations" of diesels rode that are gone. Scratch that, we will probably still have the MCI diesel greyhound looking buses that go to cleveland. CNG is taking over lol. Does anybody have any Hydrogen Fuel Cell buses?
I agree with these people this is clearly an ISL engine
The engine is a Cummins ISL. They must've repowered these or you have the wrong series. The buses with Series 40 have green headsigns.

Why?
gyros24 7. They’re getting old and they’re replacing them with new BRT styled buses

Was you going to the airport
Yup to catch my flight to Cleveland the next morning
correction its a ISC
Nope, it's indeed an ISL engine. It was repowered in 2010 replacing the Detroit Diesel Series 40E engine.
