Sadly, these workshop manuals are not really a DIY resource; they assume a level of technical knowledge that someone like a mechanic would have. They are more akin to a technical specifications resource. So yes... they can be very confusing. If your truck has been sitting for some time, I would...

That's the sensor that the manual states is the one that produces the P0335 error.

Another option might be to do what I do when driving my truck... leave more space between the truck and the vehicle in front. ;)

If they are in fact heavy duty shoes, they should be better at dealing with heat and brake fade, meaning you can stop harder for longer. It basically comes down to trusting an eBay seller over a brake shop. Just make sure you adjust them properly after fitting them.

Can I suggest that you post the results, one way or the other. :unsure:

In my opinion, the FGs fitted with the 4.9L 4M50 engine were the best overall. When Fuso went to the 3.0L engine it was the start of a downhill slope. The "tractor" engines prior to the 4M50 are virtually bullet proof, but are under powered and slower on the highway. In Australia we have never...

I'm pretty sure that's what I said. :unsure:

Firstly, if you have not done so already, I would suggest that you search this particular forum, as this topic has been covered many times. Basically, there is no "one solution for all situations" answer to your questions. A kinematic subframe mount needs to be considered as one part of an...

For the FG84/FG140 and earlier, the OEM rim size was 16" x 6.00" Models newer than that now have 17.5" x 6.00" rim by default. Given that the newer models still use the same axles as the older models, it is logical to think that a 16" rim will still fit on the current model trucks, but I don't...

The main reason people normally go with super singles on these trucks is to improve drivability in offroad situations, as dual rear wheels are not ideal for that scenario. Super singles do not really change your track width, they just give you an equal track width at the front and rear. If your...

As I said in your other thread, spacers will add quite a bit of additional force on your wheel bearings. I also eluded to the legality of wheel spacers. If they are not legal in your country, then all of this is a moot point and not worth wasting your time thinking about.

Given that you have a FG649, I would think that 35's would be more appropriate. That truck is definitely not a powerhouse, so 37's might make going up hills a bit more painful. Where do you plan on taking the truck? Will it mainly stay on the blacktop or fire trails, or is your intent to go on...

No, it's not really that, more that your assessment of what a super single wheel is obviously differs from mine. To me, a super single is a rim that allows you to have an equal track front and rear and is designed to support the maximum GVM of the truck. The rim can also be mounted from either...
