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...
Does anyone happen to have a copy of the Fuso Body Builder Part 2 PDF that used to live here?

Great topic! I too try to avoid the overland tax whenever possible. Facebook Marketplace and junkyards have been a gold mine of savings for my project.

Fuso parts are still easily attainable here in the US. https://s1partscenter.com/ and my local dealership so far have all the parts I...
