      For an ambulance? One service I run at the truck has 95 thousand, it is 3 years old. Rotates between the backup, so is only in service 6 months a year.
      The other service our two new trucks both have 75k. Bought Same time, and are 2 years old. Next truck has about 120k, and the spare is well over 300k. Hell, even the paramedic squad has about 98k. Ambulances are not fire engines, they go on calls, and often put 50 to 150 miles or more on the odometer for most of them.

    Our town used to have a spare Ambulance it rarely ever got used. Town has about 8 ambulances. was 9. the Ambulance was a 1990 Ford Econoline 350. The Others are just newer upgraded ones over the years. but the Spare 1990 Ford Econoline 350 one had a total of 8,000 miles on it roughly. They sold it at a Private Auction a couple years ago. Sold for $85,500 plus what ever Fees were attached to auction. but It brought in alot of extra Money in for the EMT dept to Hire 1 extra EMT worker, and 2 maintenance workers for a year. Which our town did approve extra budget for EMT the following year that allowed to keep the extra EMT worker and 2 maintenance workers on for future.

    beautiful unit. some people get so bent out of shape about how many lights it has which is hilarious. if they're serving their community right, who cares what the ambulance looks like?

    this is the most awesome thing ive ever seen. I totally agree with the mindset, too. I daily drive a 1984 dodge ram, and has only broke down on me three times. the first time, the ground screw for the distributor got loose. the second time the transfer case housing shattered, i was only half a mile away from home, so i was able to get home, and then the coolant hose burst in the middle of winter, It still got me home. the one time i didnt realize it was something so simple because it was late, so i just had it towed (by AAA, who respond pretty quickly in my local area). I did upgrade all of my lighting to LED, except my reverse lights. and it will always start when i need it to. these old trucks have a soul and feelings. They will get angry if theyre not used and may not do what you need it to do out of spite, but if you show them love, it will do what you need to do

    We can use more ambulances around. Because of being covered with all them light. Even fire truck and police cars can be covered light to. Especially older light can be with the new lights so they can flash together to give more warning.

    Awesome rig! It reminds me of when my father used to be a member of a small volunteer fire department in Northern New York. Back in 1981, they put a new pumper/tanker into service (pretty sure it was a Saulsbury). It was mounted on a GMC chassis. If I have my facts straight; I'm thinking that it probably would have been the same model, and manufactured in 1980. I believe that this truck was gas-powered, and had a manual transmission.

    Thank you very much for this content.
    I never knew how much planning goes into the tools that keep those who rescue lives armed with the tools to save lives.
    I am always amazed by the dedication and intelligence of those who sacrifice their own emotional consequences of bearing witness to tragedy and staying focused on goal of saving lives.
    Thank you to all who save lives.
    Rescue responders are truly selfless non judgmental amazing and rare people.

    Any chance of putting a second alternator on there as a backup?
    Single engine planes have dual magnetos lots of load other than the lights,have a good one :)
    I suppose welder plugs/booster cables and a designated fuel carrier would be nice.
    I.always remember the picture of the abandoned ambulance during 9-11.
    I remember round headlights thanks 🇨🇦
