Interesting. My truck was originally a plow truck too. If you do find out anything, I'd be interested in the update.

They're not that light either.....

Believe it or not gait, according to the customer service/very professional drone at Toyo - no such information exists for their tires. I'd like to see that Michelin table, if you have it as a pdf or can direct me to it somewhere in the wilderness of the 'net....

Correct W, tire temp is what I worry about, truck itself has never overheated. The tires are at max load all the time, and the customer service drone/tech help knucklehead at Toyo was absolutely useless when I asked about safety margins, max temps and pressures, etc. So I probably obsess about...

Yes, still available. I'll update the ad once they're sold, but I'll leave the thread for archive purposes.

Max cruising, if it's under 75 degrees or so, has been 75mph, up to 80mph or a bit more in spurts. Much depends on the tire temps, if it's a hot day I'll run slower. Preferred cruising speed is 65mph, truck is pretty happy there. Forget about crawling with the Duonic, not going to happen...

I've got the tall gears in a 2012, problem is that without having the same rig, on the same trail, with the different gears - no real way to tell. What I can say is that there's a good chance I get better fuel mileage. As to the trail behavior, well, everything has idiosyncrasies. To make it...

Thanks Unka, I'll find them eventually...just takes some digging.

Still looking, haven't heard back from FUSO on it either. Thanks for the link to mhhauto.com, Jon, if all else fails I'll pony up the $25 and join that forum to see what is there. Alternately, I might just go through a buddy of mine that's a BMW/M-B/etc shop owner, I'm sure he can get the...

Thanks Charlie, I'll give them a holler.

Congrats, sounds like a great time. When's the book out? :clapping:

I like my Rigid and Baja Designs lights, they work well. I have a combination of long distance pencil beams, mid-range beams, floods, and angle floods off the bumper. Pencil beams are the Baja Designs light bar up top, mid-range is the middle light bar, and the floods and angle floods are low...

I'll say that for those of us with these trucks, the "fix" is what'll make them work correctly. End story. As with anything government mandated, it'll be screwed up six different ways. Alas, that's the law of the land. I bought into FUSO due to their history, and the connection with...

Steinbauer here too, as delivered all sorts of issues with DPF loading. I've turned it down to the minimum, still testing. I'd love to get the ECU remapped, but not happening in the good old USA. ETA: did 160 miles or so yesterday, off road and on road, no issues. Might be fixed for now.

Well, it could be done, but it would be considerably higher than a stock FG. Another option to look at is to go with something like a dry sump, or redesign the engine pan to accommodate the third member. Alternately, move the engine aft. Lots of redesign work to get it done right, easiest is...

Thanks Jon, that might be the old version - according to the Xentry system I need the EPC version. If you do check into it once you're home from your trip, could you verify your version is for all years up to 2017?

Price is, of course, negotiable!

Or at the least access to it. I need to start running down some parts numbers......

Looks like he might be gone, website link is dead too. Lots of work into it, I'd really like to see it completed, could be a great truck.

Kind of tough to say what tire is best, it's going to be different for everyone. With that kind of on/off road balance, you might best be served by an AT tire, or even something with a highway tread. I would think there should be some kind of stamping on the wheel that shows manufacturer...
