Yeah, that's true that the Seagrave and American LaFrance firetrucks have the familiar 6V92's. 10 years ago, Denver had them with 8 cylinders (and they sounded like some old 8-cylinder bus) But like everything else, the newest ones have crossed over to the 4 cylinder engine. The Mack fire trucks have always had the standard truck engine that didn't sound like the buses. Why do these engines, and those of school buses, cars, motorcycles, etc. sound different? Are they another company than Detroit Diesel or Cummins?
