[quote name='KFDI3' post='188086' date='Feb 10 2008, 18:09 ']Sounds like ALF bid too low to get the job and then threw them together. I read where ALF is in serious financial health. Shows that you sometimes get what you pay for.[/quote]
-I also truly believe that no matter who's the manufacturer, all these new electronics, and bells & whistles contribute to many of the problems on todays new rigs !! Fire apparatus is better off being straight foward and simple, due to the beatings they take. You can NOT afford malfunctions and downtime for repairs. ALF's current situation does not help either. We have 10-ALF's, with 4 more on order. So far they have had their problems (nothing major-mostly electronics) but so have our Smeals, Seagraves and by far our Sutphens !
