    Fuso FE question

    $1500 sounds like a steal. The 4d34 has no pcv system, just a breather tube coming out of the valve cover on back left corner of engine. You should be able to see this easily near the starter by crawling underneath. If there's any blowby it will be coming out of that tube with your eye, not a...

    New Here, have a couple questions about my Fuso.

    Is the 4d33 turbocharged? From what I see on Wikipedia it wasn't. You may have breathing issues at high elevation.

    Ventilating a cassette toilet

    Seems like a decent system. Boaters know about ventilating holding tanks to keep more aerobic bacteria than anaerobic bacteria so that odor is minimized.

    Soft spot near roof vent

    What exactly was soft? What kind of camper? Seal all your roof seams with Eternabond tape. Expensive but well worth it.

    Composting Toilet — Report on 8 months full time usage

    Lots of reviews saying the design does not actually separate urine from solids and also urine ends up outside the bottle. Plus no lid for the bottle. Consensus seems to be it was designed by a man without thinking of women. I would need to see one in person before putting down that much money.

    72 IH + ‘85 Alaskan = Questionable Judgment...

    I have that style of tank in my Northstar. They can be refilled but some bulk fillers are unaware of that and might refuse you. New Horizontal tanks with the updated threads cost about $115 last I checked.

    Rosa 6 speed box in fg639 ?

    Ooooooh. That something I would appreciate. What are the gear ratios compared to the OE 5 speed. I find the big gap between 3rd and 4th to be the main issue.

    FGB71 transfer case actuator light not lit

    Alternatively you could grasp the front driveshaft and see if it turns freely. If so, 4wd is not engaged.

    FGB71 transfer case actuator light not lit

    You can usually feel the front wheels driving if you make a tight turn with 4wd engaged on a hard surface. If it feels no different than 2wd it’s not engaged.
