[Phaze]

Hey I was just wondering what everyones thoughts were on LACoFD's new Dodge squads were. And does anyone know county's opinions? Are they cutting ford off?

Second that! Wonder if any of the BLS Ambulance's that work w/ LACoFD are considering buying the Dodge Ambulances like City has (MOPAR fan like me would just love to see two Dodges on scene lol)

Are these rigs being built by KME Fire Apparatus ?

I don't believe so. If I recall correctly, they are built by a California company (Phenix Truck Bodies) that builds those types of bodies.

36 Dodge/KME units to be built for LACOFD , this is from the kme web site news!

I guess that would be a new change for them.

Talked to Jack at the County Shops. They have had so many maintenance issues with the 6.0 and 6.4 Liter diesel engines LACOFD switched to the Dodge Diesels. Spoke to Him reference a re-chassis of our Type 6 and Jack said unless I can find a 7.3 platform to stay away from the 6.0, 6.4. Can't speak to the 6.7 as they don't have history with them

The new Dodge looks sharp! Sort of partial though to the early 1970's Dodge that Squad 51 had.
