Old Seagrave pumper truck with a Detroit Diesel 6V92

[@djo9c1]

My town's FD has two Seagrave pumpers about this age. I can hear them from over a mile away, even when they aren't using their sirens.

[@NC403Firefighter]

A genuine Seagrave with a NICE, LOUD engine!! It doesn't any better!!

[@amtrak101]

nice to hear a Seagrave with a Detroit v6 for a change!

[@8v71buses]

Man this sounds just like WMATA'a Old Flxible New Looks. Awesome!

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

@samgeorgianna As the 6V92TA was electronically controlled (DDEC), the Allison automatic would be an HT741 ATEC model. An electronically-controlled engine needs an electronically-controlled transmission to work properly.

That truck is a twin. Out of 5 front-line pumpers in town, 3 have the older engines. The other front line pumper with an older engine - search "Belgian Way Alarm - Engine 5 - Bristol, Connecticut"

[@schemer1991]

this fire truck looks new

[@Dthorn912]

Our truck sounds exactly like this!

[@CanadianEmergencyBuff]

how many guys inside the truck did it have?

[@SteveCarras]

As for a Allison (the make rof below described HT), unless it has a manual, it wou;d have a HT-70. (Many still have manuals.Around 1994 I was in my daily Pomona L.A> County Fair excursion when I got to sit in an exhibit Mack(tm) fire truck (like the one above, not a hook/ladder) and it had a Roadranger (tm) ten-speed manual transmission (they also have a International Rangers truck elsewhere at Pomona, Caligf. fair with Inter.6-speed manul transmission, but this entry is for fire trucks.)

This Seagrave Fire Truck sounds like that Gillig Phantom City Bus, but this Fire Truck sounds more Powerful than that. So the Fire Truck has a Detroit Diesel 6V92 turbo.

[@gajda1984]

i know, when i was a small kid it seemed like 90 percent of fire trucks and city buses had detroits.

[@brianalexi]

This Seagrave Fire Truck with the Detroit Diesel 6V92 sounds like a Bus.

[@tsskiller08]

It sounds very similar to a Fixable Metro with a VOITH transmission.

[@SMINERD]

You mean Engine 51 right?

[@schemer1991]

yes it does

[@mmZo6]

love that smoke

[@AEMoreira81]

Actually, it sounds like a T-drive vehicle (an Allison HT).

[@juanstor1]

This wagon is a 1991 Seagrave .

[@brianalexi]

That one time when I was at my House a Fire Truck with that type of noise motor was driven' near my house and on the Levee, and when we heard it, My Sister asked me this, Ohhhhh! Is that a Bus?, And I said this, Noooo! That's a Fire Truck!

[@kb8zxe]

now this is what all fire trucks should sound like, but I'm afraid they are slowly going away...

[@F01EY]

Its actually a 1990.

[@tylerweatherman]

We have two sister 1997 trucks (Pierce Lance) that have the older Detroit engines - at least it sounds it to me. Watch my "Child Stuck in Bike" video for the engine I am referring to.

[@gajda1984]

yeah that would sound pretty evil!

[@tsskiller08]

Flxible...I hate typos.

[@SMINERD]

No crap, and it's the COG system not the CAD system and it's gay! There is no Engine 705. Engine 705 is a radio ID only. It does not define a Wagon or a Pumper. The COG system totaly removes all the identity and tradiotion of once pround stations and departments. It's one of the first steps in turning the men of the fire service into robots while the public suffers. Call it what you want but I know that is Kensington Engine 51.
