    When Osage Beach operated this engine, it was assigned to a rural portion of their district, rather than near the Lake of the Ozarks. This engine was designed to run through fields to farm ponds, and then draft from the pond to supply water for suppression. That is why it had 4 wheel drive and multiple front suctions. Originally, it was set up for highway driving with conventional duals in the rear and highway super singles up front. It was part of a large, multiple truck purchase from E-One for Osage Beach in the mid-80's.

      Probably couldn’t. Since it’s a retired/bought out fire truck for non fire department or police station ownership, I believe it’s illegal to use a fire siren or use unauthorized fire truck lights on a truck that is residentially owned and not under business ownership.

    It would be great as is for a offroad pumper truck for here in California for the next seasons wild fires. Might get a little better mpg if change the 4spd Allison to a 6spd, better ratios/ overdrive.

    • @knighthauler4792
      @knighthauler4792 3 года назад

      @jonniessink1 Would it need the whole trans replaced or just gearing. Also with going to taller tires would that not mess up the power curve, speedometer and shift points?
      We could use one of these where I live as well but North of California. This year could be a bad year.
      Seems like a waste to use this truck for something other than off-road firefighting.

I'm super interested in hearing how it shifts through all the gears at different RPM's, cruising, and jake braking (if it has a jake, that is). And remember, no talking, just that pure Detroit 8V92 sound! Please let me know ASAP.

    Get rid of that old 4 speed non overdrive trans. You can find a 8 speed or 10 speed eaton ultra shift for a reasonable price. Will give you way better mpg and a cruise speed of roughly 65 @ 2000 rpms. If your plans are camper? The 13 speed ultra shift will give you some insane crawl capabilities that the 8 speed won't.
