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

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.

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.

Can you take a picture of your injection pump?

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

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...

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...

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...

Does anyone happen to have a copy of the Fuso Body Builder Part 2 PDF that used to live here? http://www.mitfuso.com/Content/Documents/pdf/Archive/FE_FG Part 2.pdf Dated June 2004 for the earlier models. Appreciate it, thank you! Alfredo

Ok that makes sense, sorry I missed that.

So I did the same thing, bought a rusted 2000 FG639 to rebuild just about a year ago. There are a ton of parts interchangeable between 1996 - 2004, encompassing the FE/FG 639/649 and some other variants like the FE640. I know this because this has been the source of parts for my project. I’m...

I'm going to lean for "correct" springs to get us safely on the road, thank you. Appreciate your input

Completely agree that it's best to get them last once the weight is finalized. I'm in the unique situation where the current suspension of the truck is gone, like front suspension sagging inverted gone. I've spent the last year fixing up an old FG639 (including front frame swap, I really...

@yabanja What were the front and rear weight numbers you used to spec out those Alcan springs? Your build is very similar to what I hope to accomplish. Cheers! Alfredo
