🚒🔧 DO YOUR VALVES PULL OPEN LIKE THIS? 👀

Check out this video! Sometimes something as simple as pulling a valve open can tell you a lot about its condition!

Fire truck valves should operate smoothly without having to fight them. If you’re struggling to pull one open or push it closed, it might be time for a little maintenance!

Don’t wait until you’re on the fireground to find out you’ve got a problem!

Kingwood Fire Department – Attack 5 Radio Installation

Attack 5 received a communications upgrade with the installation of a new Motorola APX 8500 tri-band mobile radio system.

The old VHF radio was removed from the center console, the new radio body was mounted in the rear console area, and a new wiring chase was created to properly route and protect the power and data cables. The radio head and associated wiring were installed and secured, and a new all-band antenna was installed using the existing antenna location.

The system powered up properly after installation. Final radio testing will be completed once programming is finished.

Another clean communications upgrade from Marion Upfitter & Detail LLC.

Kingwood Fire Department – Tower 5

Tower 5 received several upgrades from Marion Upfitter & Detail LLC, including installation of a dual-head Motorola mobile radio, AVL system, Firecom components, and electrical upgrades throughout the apparatus.

We also completed a Roto-Ray LED replacement, installed a new rear warning light, routed and protected new wiring, secured equipment, and cleaned up existing wiring to keep everything serviceable and dependable.

A lot goes into making these systems work together correctly on a fire apparatus, from communications and crew intercoms to warning lighting and vehicle tracking.

Thank you to Kingwood Fire Department for continuing to trust Marion Upfitter with Tower 5.

Sometimes the scan tool points you in the right direction — but the diagnosis doesn’t stop there.

We were troubleshooting a turbo issue after the scan tool showed the VGT was not operating correctly. From there, we tested the VGT actuator and turbo vane movement to determine whether the issue was electrical, actuator-related, or caused by the vanes binding inside the turbo.

Unfortunately, the testing confirmed that the turbo itself was bad.

On the Cummins L9, the engine management system can limit operation when it sees a serious VGT/turbo problem, helping protect the engine from further damage. In this case, the scan tool and hands-on testing helped us narrow the problem down before replacing parts unnecessarily.

That is why proper diagnostics matter. A fault code is only the starting point — the actuator, wiring, vane movement, and turbo all need to be checked before making the final call.

At Marion Upfitter & Detail LLC, we combine scan-tool diagnostics with hands-on mechanical testing to find the actual problem.

If your fire apparatus or emergency vehicle is losing power, throwing turbo or regen codes, or not running like it should, give us a call. We can help diagnose the issue before unnecessary parts get replaced.
