Quote:Question on the Eldorado-Brookview Pierce Javelin, What exactly is a Pierce Javelin is it a glider kit or was it a lower grade chassis option ?Country Boy,
The Javelin was a rear-engine, front-axle drive pumper that was Pierce's offering in competition with E\-One's Hush pumper back in the early '90's. There were very few of this model made by Pierce (I believe there were only ten to twelve made) and they were not very reliable. Sterling VA had one of them but it didn't stay in service too long because of continual electrical issues and other problems. The booster tank is located between the cab and pump to allow room for the diesel engine under the hose bed.
