1989 US ARMY AMERTEK 2500L ARFF Fire Truck 4x4 Diesel - eBay (item 270686550402 end time Jan-07-11 04:42:16 PST)
Item description from auction page:
"This is a 1989 Amertek 2500L US ARMY ARFF fire truck. These trucks have been utilized all over the world in peace and war time. There are a few in service in Iraq right now. This unit was just removed from service in June of 2010. I have worked on these trucks for a long time and if you do a search on Google for the 2500L you will see the entire history of these even the stuff the uninformed people say which is mostly propaganda because they do not understand these trucks. I will try to list all the details about this truck down the list. Specs first.
Amertek 2500L 5350.8 Miles(subject to test drive changes)
6V92TI Diesel engine 350HP 930.0 Hours(subject to test drive changes)
HT750 Allison Automatic
Lombardini 7HP APU
Godiva 1000GPM live pump
Fecon Around the pump foam system dual station valves
Fecon front turrets Upper 500gpm @250psi & Lower 250gpm @ 250psi both controlled from cab
Air Locking Differentials in front and rear axles
Air Shift on the fly 4WD
Pneumatic Control switches for structure fire and ARFF systems
5KW engine driven generator with dual station controls
Webasto Hot water heating system for structure panel and tank heat exchanger for winter use with the APU(specs say -60 temp rating)
300amp 12v charging system with 4 gp31 batteries(with use of 100amp APU charging system)
72 gallon foam tank
660 gallon water tank
60 gallon fuel tank(Vehicle comes full of fuel)
Rear booster reel(100' 1" hose and Akron nozle included)
2 1/2" hose in the bed currently is untested but looks good and is included(450' I think)
All lights are tested and working as they should including Emergency Lighting(Whelen on rear Code 3 on cab)
This truck has just been serviced and is ready to go to work. I have videos of it pumping water using both turrets. This truck runs great and is driven around town on a regular basis and now that it is cold it has been winterized so if you are interested in seeing it run and pump I will need a commitment before I will put water in the tank or hoses.
There are some minor scratches and a small dent in the right front step and a bend in the bin door where the APU is located but that is it. All functions of this truck work including the 5kw generator
There are still a few minor things needed on this truck but none of them effect operation.
PSI gauge in cab is bad(needs replacing)
Power switch for Webasto Heater has a gremlin(needs replacing)
Main pump gauges are slow(lack of use)
Minor dents & scratches as seen in pictures and stated above.
APU to Alternator coupling needs replacing(missing)
***I will be repairing these things as well as time goes on and the equipment price will reflect this***
Here are a few videos of the truck pumping and a walk around while running.
