Interesting graphics on that rear roll up.

 Thats how the graphics look on all the rear roll ups since about 2004-5.

When will they ever get a normal looking engine.

Lol probably when the DPW starts using custom chassis.

Generally the same pump, same tank, same equipment, same engine and transmission to get you to the fire in a slightly less fancy package.  What do they pay for these commercial cab engines vs a custom cab? Probably significant money.

Also makes for cheaper maintenance since the dpw uses same

chassis easier parts to get and less down time depending on problem, as SECTMB said it works.

I'm sure everything from the pump back is "normal". But I too am surprised they haven't gone with a custom cab due to safety, user-friendliness (not a word I know), and most likely better maneuverability around city streets.
