We are rounding third and heading for home on the production of the new Engine 98! Since our last update the engine has been cleared for pump testing to ensure it performs as designed. The final touches will be completed in the next week or so with the engine being available for inspection and then acceptance by the department. Unfortunately this will be the last update from the Pierce factory and the next time we will see this engine will be for final inspection at the factory and then delivery when it comes down Main Street!
