Re: NJT Cruiser bus shuffling

Unc was pretty sure they were power - could have just been a better steering gear than the GMCs. The 8V71 probably helped as well, since one could accelerate into a turn faster than with the weak 6V71. Can't ask him, as he's been gone over 20 years.

I only rode one of those Wheelchair Flx suburbans once. (For those not old enough, they were given an "H" suffix to their fleet number to identify them as having a lift - e.g. 7750H.) Even as a passenger, I could detect the extra front end weight from the ride - bumps and potholes were a little harder at the front axle than the other units.
