I hope someone corrects me if I'm wrong...it's my understanding that the turbo flange used on our Mitsubishi trucks with 4D34 (at least on my 2000 FG639) is a DSM T25 flange, which apparently is slightly different than the standard T25 flange. Furthermore the Holset HX30 series use a T3 flange...

^^ That's going to be your best option if you want a truck with a modern chassis and engine that's turn key.

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

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.

Mine tops out at 10psi as well

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

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

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...
