Good morning All,

Does anyone have a picture of 132's new rig?

Thanks, in advance,

Jim (aka 1261truckie)
 
I wonder how long it's going to take until they get the "Eye Of The Storm" back on the aerial and the sides btween the Officer and back and Chauffer and back ?
 
Scott - Thanks for the pictures....good shots

Jack - Will they put the logo on the space between the front door/middle window, or will they put the 9/11/2001 riding list as they did on the 2001 Seagrave. I'm sure the "In the Eye of the Storm" will be on the aerial soon

Jim

Sadly, they'll probably be more concerned with getting fresh coffee for the Ferrara mechanic.  The way things are going with the other rigs, Ferrara will have to move a mechanic into their quarters too...

Are there certain problems that are common or are they having many different problems with the new rigs?

To name some that Im familiar with from surrounding companies:

-Cab lock sensor failure
-Outrigger sensor failure (aerial won't raise, or won't pitot)
-Brake calipers seizing
-Air leaks
-MDT and radio failure
-Battery chargers failing
-a/c Condensor failing and catching fire

I'm sure I'm forgetting a few.....as if those aren't enough.

Just to be fair, the layout is nice, the rear is big and the body seems sturdy.....but man are there a lot of gremlins.....

Some of those are very scary... In fact the only one that doesn't seem too bad is the cab lock sensor failure unless I just don't have a grasp as to what it does.
