Yes, that's the thing, there's always a compromise to be made. On the older EarthCruiser I had, the AC unit was mounted in the rear, between the frame rails. Nice and low, but hard to maintain, and due to limited space also had limited cooling capabilities. In that case, anything was better...

Well, if you ever do head south into the deserts, that reefer would be a mighty fine thing to have. ;)

Hi Howard, yes, doing well and up in Alaska. I see that EC has our old FX20 on consignment, guess it didn't work out for the new owners? If you folks do manage to make the drive up here, look us up! We're in the Mat-Su valley, above Anchorage. On the way to Denali. I seem to remember that...

Hi Howard, Did you try calling Gene or whatever his name is - the regional FUSO rep? Past that I'd check with your local service guy to see if there's a TSB dealing with this, but I'll bet what happened is someone used that top plug as you suspect.

I'm not terribly surprised. I've got one on my F350, up here in Alaska. When I lived down in the San Diego area I tried to have some work done on the wiring and a few other things on the camper, but I had a heckuva time getting anything sorted. This was some years ago, but even then the son was...

Wait....Callen went out of business?

Cache Campers and Northwoods Campers (specifically the Arctic Fox), both made in Alaska are another two you might come across and should be considered.

It never ceases to amaze me how someone can advertise a $42,000 vehicle, and put up one crappy pic and almost no details, and expect a good response.

What do you mean by "won't drive in fifth gear"? It locks up, or it doesn't transmit torque, or it simply won't go into fifth?

I'd look into connections and grounds first. I didn't have that issue on our FUSO, but I've had it on various other vehicles. If you have the shop manual you'll find the measurements to be able to test the sender and verify whether it's good or bad. But I'll bet connections and grounds. Other...

I remembered hitting their YT channel and seeing some posts elsewhere. Didn't want to bug them, they were buttoned up.

Just got back from a quick two day stay around Denali, spotting this guy south of Cantwell, parked along the Parks Highway. Nice looking rig, didn't want to disturb you, but if you'd been out I'd have swapped some FUSO lies.

Absolutely on the "depends" part, Lance. Much of this will also depend on what state you reside in, if you're in the U.S.A. Since I was a resident of California, there was no way I could get the DPF/DEF recall work done to bring the chassis up to the 2017+ standard. CARB refused to license the...

As the past owner of a 2012, no way would I purchase that vehicle. The earlier models of the FG are far more reliable, but the 2012 is a truck with heavy emissions equipment that can be a huge problem.

Wait....3000kW from solar cells?

Congrats Outback, post up your progress as it goes along. Those are tough trucks to find! I'm still waffling between a 1314 or a Doka 'mog. Keep leaning more towards 'mog just due to utility...anyway, have fun with the build!

LOL, reality tv at it's idiotic finest. THE ULTIMATE SICK SURVIVAL VEHICLE FULLY COATED WITH INDUSTRIAL COATING MAKING IT AIR TIGHT AND WATER TIGHT. THIS BEAST IS THE BEST SURVIVAL VEHICLE EVER BUILT....blah blah blah. That linked show episode is depressing as hell, but oh well. Hollywood.

Tempting...but how well does it ford rivers?

Unless things have really changed, and they might have, the only reader that I found to actually work with the Mitsubishi FUSO system was the OEM Xentry/STAR system. Yep, that's the pricey one. One of the better things about it is that you can do a factory reset with it, and that often helps...

If you are located anywhere near Southern California, there's a very good tech in the Los Angeles area. You should be able to read the codes and see where the issue is, but most of the time the one that I had was shutting down due to carbon in the exhaust, and low fuel flow rates. It did...
