    Trouble sourcing Fuso FG parts online

    Wanted to give a plug to these folks -> https://importtruckparts.com/ They've been a great source of used parts for my Fuso that I otherwise can't find on facebook marketplace or afford through the dealer. Make sure to call rather than email

    Front End Clunking/Clicking While Turning at Low Speeds

    Never would have thought it'd be the rear diff. That's great to know. Another poster here awhile back suggested adding a friction modifier along with the usual rear diff fluid to help things move along.

    Need some help diagnosing a motor with low power. 2004 Fuso FG649

    I just installed a boost gauge in mine. Will give the truck a spin this weekend and report back.

    Front End Clunking/Clicking While Turning at Low Speeds

    My first thought is perhaps 4x4 is still engaged somehow. Perhaps the drivetrain is fighting against dry asphalt?

    Build Thread: Burni

    Great photos! Good to know about the pyrometer placement. I'll be fitting one of those here soon.

    99 FG Starts, runs rough, won't rev up

    Sorry, stressful day at work. I'm not saying what you're saying is wrong. I'm saying a picture of the actual item in question will show a very slight nuance that may have been overlooked by the customer.

    99 FG Starts, runs rough, won't rev up

    Are you looking for help to troubleshoot the issue? Those pictures are meaningless. Let's look at your injection pump. Snap some photos and upload. Otherwise it's very difficult to help out a fellow Fuso owner.

    Heather and Dana's 2007 Fg140 Camper Build

    I recall they had Allan over at Overlander Global in Colorado to help them out with the build. He would know for sure.

    1998 Fuso FG Camper Build

    Hey I follow you on Insta! I'm @fusoturtle That's a great looking truck, it really shows the time and effort you put into it. I'm jealous of your 98, that year had the much simpler ECU and mechanical governor. I'm planning on downgrading so to speak my 2000 over the summer to that set up. If...

    Anyone repack their own wheel bearings?

    The factory service manual will tell you exactly which parts can be reused and what needs to be replaced. The parts catalog will have the part numbers. Send me a PM if you don't have those. Both of those were immeasurably helpful when I redid my front axle bearings/brakes/everything else...

    FG chip tuning in the USA?

    Wanted to add some definitive info to this thread. Was able to confirm for sure that 1996-2004 Fuso's running on the 4D34 are NOT capable of a chip tune. The only way to adjust fuel on these trucks is be very lucky and have a 1996-1998 where the ECU was bare bones basic and you had the...
