Why put a cargo bed on it then some tank in the bed? If you were ordering a fire equip mfg to build you a tanker you wouldn't start with - buy chassis, install flatbed body, install tank.
Order a baffled tank or a fire body new or used. Just make sure it's a baffled tank. You...
Ones I looked over at Ft McCoy were early models. Low mil out of the Guard/Reserves. So as built 6.2l.
I don't know what practice has been in the last 10yrs if brokem 6.2l are replaced with 6.5l?
It appears that SF2112 (as amended) was passed by the Senate Apr 9 last week, and it addresses the issues regarding title of DOD surplus vehicles.
So assuming Gov Branstad signs, problem solved.
See your State Forester. Thru Fed Forestry. Title program is Fire Fighter Program (FFP. Fairly new and quite a few states don't participate yet. Old loan program is Fed Excess Property Program (FEPP). No charge to the FD.
All HMMWV are loan have to go back the to the DRMO they are issue...
If your're in Iowa contact your House Rep and Senator. Apparently HF 2313 is being re-drafted as an amendment to HF 2229 (veterans driver’s license bill) in the House. The DOT is fully supportive of doing this. Has to make it thru the House within the next couple weeks (session should end in mid...
There are several threads on M915 series for FD. Use search
Many M915A2 and A4 available. DOD is getting rid of all. Don't even think about the M915A0 or A1 you don't need to get into CAT transmission when later trucks with Alliison are easy to get.
The A2 (NSN 2320-01-272-5029) were new...
HF2313 is somewhere in the capital to fix the problem but apparently is stalled. The Leg is winding up the session so QUICK action is required to move this bill this year (means a wait until Jan 2013).
I'll post more as I get it.
Iowa DOT apparently is no longer is going to allow conversion of SF97 to Iowa title unless has a VIN and an FMVSS label (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards).
This can to me from our state forester's office. For my FD I work the DOD system for equipment from...
I didn't know the commmies used air start on their diesels. Makes sense I suppose arctic temps/batteries.
Most liikely easy source for high pressure air is going to be your local fire dept. They will have either 2216psi or 4500psi SCBA cylinders on hand. May will have adapter fittings/hoses...
35000mi - 280mi since Apr09 rebuild. Everything shiny new. Very nice truck.
For my small town. Installing a snowplow.
Original data plates removed and new tag says rebuild at... Looks like that might be a title problem as no longer says AM General anywhere. I think AM General was the only...
Nearly 400 rated F7 listed DRMO Red River. Have to be some good take outs. Hopefully SAM (EPA nuts) won't scrap them.

Anyone have details on the Allison HD4560P used in the M915A4? Apparently a 6sp trans but the TM states 4sp. Did SAM program to only shift thru 4 sp or did they order minus shafts/gears. Start point is possible to mount a PTO to the transmission or not. No problem with a Chelsea on a...
Rollover cab protection? What does that look like? Picked up an M925 yesterday that was rebuilt at Red River Apr09. Has a hardtop I didn't notice a ROPS.
Interesting. Picked up a beautiful (330mi since rebuild) M935 at McCoy DRMO yesterday for my small town. We have a Henke snowplow will be mounting for next winter. replacing a 3/4t Dodge picup that just is not up to the job. Only 15blocks to plow but global warming of the last couple years...
