Looking through the pulse point app on my phone, I notice a couple units that stick out. What is/are the JT units?

Not positive, but I think that stands for "Joint Terrorism". LAFD personnel assigned to Homeland Security type duties.

Just heard from a friend of mine who works at the shops. LAFD an their next bid for apparatus is going back to Pierce. KME's are C**p.

Really, back to Pierce? Now that is just strange. Seems like the consensus that the KME engines were well received.

 

What is/were the issues with the KME?

Pierce was the lowest bidder, only other bidder was KME.

7 triple combination engines awarded in the first order.

Only issue I heard about was the front suspension was to stiff give it harsh ride. But that was quickly fixed.
