A different set of FF, so is this a detail or how are the members determined? Great video by the way.

Not with the hurting of parts that’s why departments don’t have them anymore cause the parts.

Anyone have or know the run totals for E525 or any of the GI units

American LaFrance went out of business in 2014. I think some dealers were/are still doing warranty work in the last units out the door but that's about it.

Yeah a lot of towns in Jersey struggle for parts and are just trying to get rid of them… Bayonne, Jersey City, Kearny, Newark

Unless ALF did something like Pierce does and use proprietary parts, they should be off the shelf. The books that come with each unit would have all of that info. EOnes directional modules, the one on the steering column come from F550 or 650s for example.

The writing was on the wall for a while before ALF finally closed up shop which surprised me that so many depts still bought from them in the end.

Wasn’t ALF using freightliner parts?
