Quote:The plan is to attempt to liquidate the fleet of KME's as soon as feasible. It won't happen overnight, looking at a few years, but it will happen.
That is surprising as the KME engines are between 3-6 years old and the trucks are about 2-3 years old (excluding the tower). Still that must be quite a loss BFD is taking.
Also how is tower ladder 10 holding up?
Quote:You can't mention the KME issues without mentioning the Maxxforce motors. The majority of problems with these pieces are related to the power plant. It would have been interesting to see how the KME performed with a suitable motor. I hope the metro 100 perform well but only time will tell. The diet they put the metro 100 on to get it back on a single rear axle screams light duty to me.
I've heard the same thing about the Maxxforce engines, they have issues. Another issue is parts availability. Always thought that International diesel engines were very reliable powerplants.
People complaining about spam in the spam mail box... Huh, what'll they think of next?
