joes mack Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 I know there all your favorites don but you kind of have a special bond with engine 2 after driving it almost 800 miles for 2 days from conn to ky at 55-60 mph.

bulldogboy Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Nice, that's what I remember a fire department looking like. Unusual headlights on Engine 1. bulldogboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joes mack Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 the head lights on engine 1 was put in when the truck was refurbed at pierce they have strobe tubes in them which all the lights on it are strobes. I personally don't care for them I think it would be better if they would of put the strobes in a set of round ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cstaples Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Interesting comment about the computer shutting down! We have 2 newer engines a 2013 ME and a 2015 Pierce. The KME goes into limp whatever you want to call it ALL the time. thing is a total hunk of shit. We did our training with the Pierce rep his exact quote "there is no limp mode, it's full power to the grave". That's what I like to hear!!!! Oh BTW very nice pack of dogs there!!

I don't like seeing "CF"s, "R"s, and "MC"s rehabbed with four rectangular headlights in place of the original round ones. The trucks are still nice but the wrong headlights detract from their appearance. Sometime, how about photos of your tankers and stations.

That's what I like to hear!!!! Before you believe everything the rep says I'd ask him to prove it. The limp mode is part of the ECU and I seriously doubt the engine builder would allow it to be defeated. 1 Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

cstaples Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I'm leaning toward believing him. It's Detroit's power point presentation that contains the info. I assume DD wouldn't present it that way if it wasn't true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said most emergency vehicles have computer set to NOT go into limp mode. No matter the situation. May have 28 lites and codes but will continue operating at normal Quote Success is only a stones throw away.................................................................for a Palestinian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl, it's now in 1901 that all computers must be programmed not to go into limp mode or regen while in pump gear. Whether that made it into older ECU controlled rigs I don't know Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote I'm leaning toward believing him. It's Detroit's power point presentation that contains the info. I assume DD wouldn't present it that way if it wasn't true. I stand corrected. Thanks. But I'm always very skeptical of what a sales person presents to the troops. They tend to be experts at telling them want they want to hear and then denying it when the actual rig turns out quite different. "Oh, yeah, a 30 hp VW engine will make this thing go from zero to 60 in five seconds." "What do you mean it won't go above 5 mph? I never promised you it would do better." It definitely was not that way on the first and second generation of ECU rigs. We had several that went into limp mode while responding.
