AutomaticMack Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Not to change the topic, but michigan highway patrol says the placement of that fire extinguisher is against there law. Last month while going thru the peoples republic of michigan a copper pulled over my fellow driver in a 2000 RD and could not find anything wrong with the truck but said that Macks placement of the fire ext. is not allowed, and issued us a ticket and fine. However upon writing a letter to the judge took care of all the issues. Kinda silly if ya ask me. Its a perfect place to put one I think, but what do I know...Im just a simple trucker.

chris88 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 How is that comfortable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidniteMechanic Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I believe that according to DOT regs the fire extinguisher is not considered 'readily accessible'. It's difficult to reach all the way around the shifter and across the cab in an emergency. Prefered location is left side of drivers seat it's easy to get to and view the gauge during inspection. I know they don't like them in the luggage compartment either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 Yea the seat is comfortable, if u ride with the stock seat all the way down with no air u gona get a bad back soner or later,with this new seat i could raise it all the way up and its about the same height as the stock seat when it was all the way down but it got air now.My last truck was bought new from kw and the fire extinguisher was already bolted down on the left side of the drivers seat, so i guess that i where there suppost to go, but im not moving mine in the mack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACKTRUCKS4 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 YOU MUST BE ABLE TO REACH THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER AS IF YOU WERE TRAPPED IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND COULD NOT GET OUT.
