Hey Gary, I understand the frustration! The tools will be fixed and It will be taken care of at no cost to your department. I have talked with TNT and one of the factory guys was done there yesterday. the problems is this so I was told, When Pierce mount the fuel pump for the TNT units they didn't use the one that TNT offers which is designed for the units like yours and they hooked the dam thing backwards! The factory guy was there and said that the pump was stalling out your tools due to lack of fuel. He said that he remounted the tanks back on the unit until Pierce fixes the problem with the remote fuel pump for your unit! Any questions give me a shout back.
