Chile apparently imported the Isuzu 4x4. Maybe find a crewcab there. Drive it home. Alternatively buy a single cab FG in the US, a used crewcab off an FE fro Busbees and swap cabs. Probably cheaper to swap cabs than to convert a 2wd to 4x4.

There is a photo taken from the side and I don't see a transfer case hanging low. You can see the front driveshaft in the photo.

Mitsubishi Fuso has stopped selling trucks in North America. Parts availability will surely diminish over time.

Fuso has stopped selling trucks in the USA I believe. Parts availability in the US may become a problem after a while.

Got the Ridgid high torque impact. It rattles off the lugs promptly. Bought generic batteries for it on Amazon. It’s 1/2” so I had to use 2 adapters to get it up to my 1” Budd impact socket.

Just ordered one of these. Ridgid High Torque impact wrench On sale: $120 without the battery or charger. https://www.directtoolsoutlet.com/product/R86211B

I had an occasional slow starter for a few years. I finally figured out that when I had the transmission rebuilt they had failed to connect the heavy ground wire from the frame to the bell housing. Once I reconnected that wire the problem was solved.

Yes. I kept pushing after the beep and I did torque it harder than the set amount, but the device did indicate and record the higher torque amount. So you do end up knowing exactly what the device thought the torque was.

Bought the 3/4" Harbor Freight digital torque wrench today. Seems to work quite well but I did not have a separate torque wrench to which to compare it to. It did confirm that my previous non-torque wrench method was not far off when it comes to torquing the lug nuts.

Very interesting. It relates to my question in the other thread about why Isuzu never imported the NPS to North America. Apparently not because they didn't have a left hand drive version.

Is it difficult to produce left hand drive 4x4's when they're already building left hand drive 2wd trucks? I don't know but in my ignorance my guess is not a whole lot of work. In the USA the FG was popular with landscapers in snow country who plowed in winter. Seems Isuzu could have a share...

Why in the world doesn't Isuzu sell it here? I've never been able to figure that out.

If I'm not mistaken, this group right here is hosted in the USA. So yes. :)

I can't recall any discussion on wheels for a Canter Guts. They don't sound like they are the same wheels as the FG and its hard enough to find alternative wheels for the Fg in North America.

I agree that its almost certainly a fuel delivery problem caused by the tank getting low and sucking up some debris into the system somewhere. Change all the filters, blow back the line into the tank and see what happens. This is a relatively common occurrence on boat diesels after going...

Yes, US models of FE and FG are the same but somewhere between 92 and 99 they must have changed the gear ratio on the FG since I have the same engine and transmission combo as the 92 but higher top end. Anybody know what the gear ratios have been on US models over the years?

Interesting that it tops out at 55mph. Our 99 FG USA model tops out at around 68mph with oe tires and wheels. Happy to cruise at 64 mph.

That digital torque adapter looks intriguing. Have you tried it out and compared it to a regular torque wrench? Certainly less bulky to haul around.

But not the suspension to traverse it.
