Pacific Northwest - FireMedic049 - 03-20-2013
Quote:At an open house over the weekend it was mentioned that Pierce would most likely never let a one of their engines leave the factoryWhat's wrong with the bumper on that engine?
with the kind of bumper as is pictured in post #1274. This was one of several individual opinions, liking the fact that SFD was
"stepping up" by probably having to pay a higher price per unit for quality and a better look. Just opinions, not looking to start an argument.
SFD has been very impressed with both the quality and service they have received from Pierce after purchasing
replacements for the Rescue, Hazmat, several TDA's and their Multi Casualty Incident Unit.
Other providers have served SFD well over the years, including ALF, E-One, Spartan, and Kenworth.

I always enjoy the PNW stuff....do you happen to have any rear hosebed shots or compartment shots of the Seattle E-Ones? Keep 'em comin'!

Quote:What's wrong with the bumper on that engine?I'm curious about that too. What's wrong with the bumper - although it's nearly flush with the cab face (something that's part of the specs), I don't see any flaws with it.

Oh no, there are no flaws on the bumper Taylor. It's all about the curb appeal. There was a discussion about the looks of the
Seattle engines over on the "seattle new rigs" thread a few years ago of how the look of the front end seemed
odd because of the short bumper style. Something more appealing would look like the 1991-1993 E\-One rigs Seattle
once owned. I'm looking forward to a different look.....JMO

Thanks for the explanation. I suppose I was just surprised that if no one within the SFD liked the look of the short bumper E-Ones, they wouldn't simply change the specs the for the next batch of pumpers purchased.
Nevertheless, I love this thread, thanks for continuing to keep it updated.

I just found the comment that "Pierce would most likely never let a one of their engines leave the factory with the kind of bumper as is pictured in post #1274" kind of odd since the new Pierce Tiller pictured in this thread had pretty much the exact same bumper on it.

You're right, as it looks from a distance. But post #1147 shows a side view of the same
rig with what I consider a huge improvement compared to the thin bumpers on the SFD
Quest engines and even the flimsy bumpers on the mighty Kenworth engines in
their day. JMO. Thanks for looking.

There was a question asked earlier in this threat about how the compartments were arranged on the new TDA's.

It looks like just one portable fan and a few cylinders are missing.
