Looking for feedback on ambu
Our dept. is looking to buy a new Type III ambu.I'm not looking to talk to dealers online.I wanted feedback from any dept. who may have purchased a Chevy Type III.I want to know any problems they might be having with them.I know they are new to the ambu market.We heard that the Ford is having problems with the turbo in the 6L and tranny.I'm not looking for a chevy vs ford battle I just want the best for our dept.
Thanks,

Our dept. uses the Ford chassis and we have experienced problems with the 6.o ford motor. We have experienced injector failure which results in the motor shutting dowm and placing the unit out of service until replaced. The transmissions have held up fairly well. A neighboring dept had a type III remounted on a chevy chassis and so far , they have had no problems with the chassis or drivetrain
