New RS715

The following are open items on the new squad that we're already aware of: 

• Speakers are not yet installed for the mobile radios. The headsets do work though. 
• Compartment R2 needs a replacement cable for opening and the right slide out end trimmed. 
• The cribbing compartment tray needs to be reinforced as its bowing slights. 
• The wiring in the rear winch compartment near the hook and eyelet needs to be protected. 
• There are some edges in the extrication compartments that need protection. 
• The lifting cylinder mounts need to be more substantial or a strap added. 
• The aggressive downshift on the transmission needs to be programmed off, it fights with the telma and jake brake at higher speeds and wasn't supposed to be enabled. 
• The harrison system flow needs to be calibrated. This will likely make the tools run slightly faster.
