I believe the last three Pierce TL’s will be replaced as well as TL 63 at O’hare. Trucks are coming shortly and the Engines will go to the rigs who have the oldest or the most OOS time rigs.

Nice Engine Co’s the big question is where are the first 7 going to get assigned? And which TLs still have the older trucks that will get the new ones coming>>?

I would agree Mike. They are even funnier up here in Milwaukee. The pumpers have the electronic sirens that sound like police cars(don’t know the model)while the truck companies have the electronic Q siren. Why they couldn’t be the same on all of them who the heck knows. As for the engine, CUMMINS builds great engines all around but why with a typical standard spec CFD pumper do you need more than 400hp in a urban setting? Not saying it’s wrong but seems to me they got but with far less HP and torque years ago pumping the same volume and acceleration in traffic.
PIERCE offered the FORD POWERSTROKE 6.7 V8 for a short time so that may have been too small but the L9 seems more than ample enough for most urban pumpers.

I’m not a big fan for the EQ2B or the PA300 but when it comes to a city in a horrible financial situation, I’m all for cost savings. Go with the PA300. These engines are very well thought out and planned otherwise. Chicago hasn’t changed their spec much over the years but all in all, these engines are designed for efficiency. Big block engine, stainless body, raised roof, nice hose bed layout, and nice pump panel. These engines will navigate through the narrow congested roads with ease and attack fire very well. I’m personally a fan for the Waterous over the Hale but no point in changing when I believe Chicago strictly used the Hale. These engines don’t have any bells or whistles.

They are equipped with an EQ2B they won’t put Mechanical cue sirens on our rigs and personally I think it’s a waste of money to put the EQ2B I think they should just go back to the PA 300

yes I agree they need a q siren but otherwise they are fine what co are getting them

The rear cabinet door is unfinished because that is where the decal for the company number will go.

This is the batch there is 7 different rigs seen here that’s what’s coming

Any idea why the rear hose bed door is left unfinished? I’m assuming this will be covered with vinyl?

How many are in this batch?

Saw that on TWITTER yesterday but it didn’t include the picture on top. Beautiful shots. Too bad CFD doesn’t like the Q siren. It would be a nice touch.
