Have an old April 90 Mitsubishi Canter Pantek , lived in it for seven years. 6 Ton. Have had it now for more than 15 years , can't part with it. Most reliable vehicle i've ever owned and very comfortable to drive. Trucks are good Ken , even better when they are fire engines.

Hey Ken, Great video, They say the bigger the vehicle the higher the running costs. Just a shame you did not have the manual when the ladder got stuck, could have saved so time, but who reads manuals anyway.

You know that when they referred a truck a lot of times they add air conditioning to the camp over and the cab forward... List shovel trucks that have been referred over the years that they've added it in .. Walmart department had a truck referred they asked if we wanted AC unit in in the township said no They were paying...

Bought me a 2000 Spartan 100ft SkyArm with 22k miles on GovDeals for $9k! Sucker is nearly 50ft long and weighs 77,900lbs. I drove it from New Jersey to Pennsylvania. What a slow and painful ride that was.

Ken - Have you wired up the electronic siren in the ladder truck? Most Federal Signal & Whelen units have an input for “Radio”, meant to be connected to the speaker audio output of a 2-way radio in the cab of the apparatus. It’s easily connected to any SPEAKER level output of an audio device and amplifies the signal and routes it to the external speaker(s). (generally 100w or 200w output) EXCELLENT way to provide background music for Drone Adventures. 😉 You guys also need to setup a shore line for utility power. Combined with a battery charger / maintainer for the primary vehicle batteries, you’ll rarely end up with dead batteries as you go out for time on the town. LOL. (add portable radio chargers / flashlight chargers / etc.. to keep everything fully topped off and ready to run. There are a few brands that will actually eject (with some force!) the connector from the recessed male inlet on the body of the apparatus. They are solenoid “powered”. Simply apply +DC momentarily and the connector gets ejected. Most Fire Service vehicles are 24vdc) The best way to wire it up…. Connect in parallel to ignition “ON” -or- to glow plug power source to ensure it automatically ejects. DEFINITELY get this type to avoid DRIVING AWAY while still “plugged in” to AC Utility Power. 😳 👍🏼😀

Oh my goodness. We actually had to get rid of the truck because it was too expensive to maintain. We had to replace one tire and it cost $600. Be aware of the maintenance cost before you buy one. Totally fun vehicle though.

There are a LOT of things to consider when you're going to buy a used fire engine or truck, and I mean l LOT!! From tire condition to engine. The repair cost of some components will out strip how much you paid for the truck, and most of the time cost more than the truck is worth. Engine needs a new supercharger or turbo? Get ready to pay thousands! All new tires will run an easy $3,000. Head gasket needs to be replaced (specially those Detroit Diesels) that will set you back about 2-3K as well. I've walked away from many a "great deal" because the repair cost was more than the value of the truck.
