[quote name='R1SmokeEater' post='188255' date='Feb 11 2008, 12:49 ']-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 ![/quote]
just wait until 2009 when the new EPA rules come out. think some rigs are out of service alot now, this is nothing.
