    1990 Fuso FG 4x4

    Sorry, my 93 only has 117,000 miles on it and I'm keeping it until I die so I need the factory manuals. The CD with the 2004 manuals is only about $100 and there's a dealer in Cleveland - wouldn't be perfect, but might be better than nothing. --- Yes. the brake lights, tail lights, license...

    1990 Fuso FG 4x4

    I have a 93 that had a dump body. All that's left is the PTO. I have the 3 set factory manuals that I paid $350 for (there wasn't a cd copy available when I purchased them) so it sounds like someone scanned them and put them on cd. . The price sounds about right but you might want to call and...

    Shachagra- Family of 5 traveles Europe and Turkey, International 7500

    I agree, very impressive undertaking and out come. - Not only that you built it yourselves in such a short time and actually took the trip, but that you made all the decisions, trade offs and compromises that are necessary to accomplish such a complex goal. - The fact that you weren't stopped...

    Where to put a mounted spare wheel on my Merc 1823?

    mounting on the front might be okay if it doesn't exceed the front axle GWAR. - And it's not just the weight of the spare, but the weight on the front axle will be greater depending on the distance you mount it in front of the axle center. - Remember, any weight on the truck that's located in...

    Fuel Consumption

    Our 2004 FG with 5000 lbs of camper, gear and supplies gets 14 - 15 mpg on the highway. More if we slow down a little. We have a second 33 gallon tank for a total range of 900+ miles.

    Espar Airtronic and Webasto Air Top

    I think you're comparing apples and oranges. If don't you want hot water in your camper for a shower and washing dishes get an air heater. But if you want to take a hot shower get a hydronic heater. Plus with a little additional effort you can heat the camper with the engine while...

    Turbo problem - Isuzu NPR

    if it's anything like the mitsu, it might be the turbo waste gate actuator or the over boost relief valve on the intake manifold. That whistles like blowing across a pipe sometimes. You haven't mentioned any performance issues associated with the noise. Are there any? Have the boost...

    Roof rack cargo basket

    John, I found that opening both doors makes it easier to tilt the cab by moving the cg forward. Helps when tilting the cab on a hill also. But the real problem with a roof rack on a Mitsubishi / Isuzu is that, unless there is a lot weight behind the rear axle, any weight added to the front...

    Recommendations for dual battery isolator solenoid?

    I've used this battery / isolator combiner for 6 years: http://www.yandina.com/c160Info.htm It works with both the 110v battery charger and the engine alternator and can be wired with a combine / automatic / isolate switch.

    Lift pump and air in system

    what did you use for the line to the bottom of the tank? where does the return line go? Isn't it just as easy as opening the bleed screen on the fuel filter and manually operating the Fuso lift pump with the built in plunger?

    Insulation values of core construction and interior vs exterior temps

    BTUs required to replace heat loss = (surface area of walls, ceiling, floor, etc. times the difference between the inside and outside temperature) divided by the R value of the insulation. You could make a separate calculation for each surface using a different inside temperature / R value...

    Advantages of Fuso 4X4?

    The cab over FG has a greater payload than the F350 for less money. The cab over FG has a comparable payload to the F450 for less money. The F550, F650, etc has a greater payload than the FG for more money. The shorter wheelbase is very maneuverable, especially the short wheelbase version...

    what exactly is this for?

    I agree you should get a manual as soon as you can. Sounds like there might not any coolant in the radiator. The temperature gauge should rise to normal, about midway, and stay right there, steady as a rock. When the engine is cold, check the radiator and fill with 50/50 water and antifreeze...

    as long as the over hang doesn't cause the rear axle to be overloaded or just as important, the front axle to be too lightly loaded.
