I also just ordered the obdii from amazon. I did find this mut3 on sale $749 and i am contemplating purchasing it, especially since there is no dealer up here in AK. http://www.obdii365.com/wholesale/mitsubishi-mut-3-diagnostic-and-programming-tool-1530.html

2001 Fuso FG Fairbanks, AK
Saw this 2001 FG for sale in Fairbanks, AK over the weekend at an Affordable Used Cars lot. $22,995, odometer was around 10,190, clean interior, automatic. There was some rust on the frame behind fuel tank.
Did you figure this out? I have a 2007 and had the exact issue. I have a Morgan style box on the back. When i put in my ceiling in I must have shorted out the interior ceiling light. I solved the issue by disconnecting the interior light where it connects just outside of the fuse box. i...
DS Truck Center, Hodgkins, IL. Don Schure and his employees were a great help after purchasing my FG and before driving home to AK. I call them for help and parts still.
There are no Mitsubishi dealers in AK. However, there are Isuzu dealer service centers in Anchorage and Fairbanks. I...
jomobco,
In Fairbanks, AK I have a freeze plug, block heater in my 2007, installed at a the service center in the lower 48, and an oil pan heater (external). I do not have a battery trickle charger or heat blanket. I haven't had an issue starting with just those two heaters down to -25f. My...
vonhanson,
Just saw your post from last February. Congrats on getting another dog and the sled. My wife and I run dogs from our kennel in Fairbanks, AK. Watch out, it is a slippery slope from 2 to 20+.
Gait,
Re-read your post on the fire. I have since turned my cab dome light to the off position, as it works only intermittently, as did my box dome light. I will check the wiring for wear ASAP. Also, going to look into a starter battery kill switch.
FG Surfari - The mechanical shop I took the truck into thought it was something like that, but found wear on the wire that runs on a channel up on the box. They wrapped it and set it outside of the channel. That unfortunately wasn't it. I had to cancel my weekend trip. But on the positive...
Mog,
You made me go back and weigh all the food and think about it.
That weight training run cost us the following.
Total for 50 miles:
lbs = 23.2 ( 11.2 lbs of kibble, and 12 lbs of ground beef/fat)
Kcal= 38,480
per mile:
lbs 0.22
Kcal = 769.6
and 5 gallons of water to soak the food...
Our 2007 on the Denali Hwy last weekend. The road is not maintained during the winter months, but you can drive it at your own risk. The eye shine is from 16 of our sled dogs that are camped out. For training they are lined out in front of the truck and pull against 2nd gear at 10 mph. They...
My instrument panel lights, along with rear driving lights went out the other day in my 2007 FG. The dash warning lights all work, as do the headlamps, turn signals, flashers, and brake lights. I replaced the 15 amp fuse in the box located outside behind the cab, driver’s side. This fixed the...
picture of my '07 at Galbraith Lake, AK April 28th. Galbraith Lake for those who have traveled the Dalton Hwy or "Haul Road" is 350 miles north of Fairbanks and a few miles on the north side of the Brooks Range. I was taking 8 of my dogs out on a hunting trip.
new to the forum and was wondering if i could get some opinions on purchasing an older FG. We have started casually looking for trucks online. Are there and caveats we should be worried about in purchasing an out of warranty Fuso (2005 to 2007 models)? We live in Fairbanks, AK and to my...
