    Well I got it! Thanks for all the advice ! I am sure I will need more. Benttofly I am looking into adding a second alternator but we will see how this one works. Will be posting out remodel. Currently we are stripping the camper down and redoing everything. Also thinking of order the super...

    Small diesel Generator

    Yeah all of what you guys say makes a ton of sense. Just seems weird that no one makes a small portable one. Plenty of small Diesel engines to be had. I would do the alternator but I don’t want to leave the vehicle running while I am away from it. I want to be able to leave my pets when it’s...

    Small diesel Generator

    Anybody have any recommendations? Would prefer just to run one fuel source. Do they make small diesel generators? Only found one that seemed portable enough.

    front wheel wobble, videos included, need halp

    That’s what I was thinking after I wrote that lol. It could be play in the steering box though? I found that if there is play it’s impossible to get it to track straight.

    front wheel wobble, videos included, need halp

    Is there a lot of play in your steering wheel it could be your rack and pinion.

    2005 Fuso FG Slow Start?

    Try pumping the primer before a cold start. You could have a little air leak. If it starts fine priming you have a leak.

    37's vs 40's for Fuso FG Build

    Yeah 35s would be ideal but I can get the humvee 37s takeoffs for dirt cheap. Probably start there and just switch to a interco 35 if it’s way to slow. I don’t mind shifting down to 4th. Or is that just a bad idea in these trucks? I kinda look at 5th as an overdrive gear for the flat?

    Any idea of resources out there about these. He has all the service manuels thankfully, so I won’t be completely in the dark. Is there quite a bit of part interchangeability between the non 4x4 ones and the FGs. Pretty easy to find the 2wd versions here.

    yeah that makes sense so it’s what we call a granny gear. Are parts for these older ones still available in Oz? It’s pretty hard to find them in the US, although the Mitsubishi rep said he could get most basic parts. If I knew I could get them down there I could have my cousins ship them to me...

    37's vs 40's for Fuso FG Build

    The reason I want to go with 37s is because I can get Humvee wheels re-centered for my 5 lug. I want to go this way so that I can always get another wheel made as not many are supplying the five lugs anymore. They are also going to cost less than 3000 for 5 tires 90% worn and 5 re- centered...

    Hey guys a few questions for ya. I apparently posted this in the wrong section. Anyway I have a chance to buy a pretty clean looking 90 Fuso FG with 45k miles on it for 18k. 1 owner. It’s a left hand drive, has no rust and already has a box set up for a camper build. It has a 3.5 4 cylinder...

    37's vs 40's for Fuso FG Build

    Yeah I guess that is not gonna hurt the ride much more than it already does. Do these need a diff drop? Really would prefer to just slap on the 37s but if I have to lift it 3 inches it’s not the end of the world. Does this look lifted already at all?

    37's vs 40's for Fuso FG Build

    Hey guys I am in the process of purchasing a 1990s fuso fg. It needs all new tires and I don’t want to buy a set that I will just replace right away. Really want the higher gearing for long distance travel so the 37s sound great. My problem is my budget I can’t afford the lift and the tires. Can...

    1990 fuso fg should I buy?

    There is some surface rust but not much it’s very dry out here. I didn’t check the blow by but I will it’s going to my diesel mech before I purchase it. How would I check the turbo just? I guess I am more concerned if something like the injector pump fails where do I get a new one or rebuilt?

    1990 fuso fg should I buy?

    Any thoughts on this? Went to look at it runs like new. No leaks besides a few weeping seals here and there. Perfectly maintained but it is 32 years old. Glow plug light took forever to turn off? needs new tires up front. No AC :(. 4x4 was flawless, first gear a little touchy when moving...
