Current FG's in USA have 2 choices: 5.2 and 5.7 (ish) gearing. Not sure about the older ones.

No. I was picking up a part for the truck and saw it sitting there. I've seen it on the truck trader for a few months now IIRC.

Is that the one I saw down at Bruckner a few weeks ago?

I had to go online to get a set of six. Denver was out. Even then they came from two different warehouses. I was $419 per delivered IIRC.

I've got 6 new ones sitting in my shop waiting for the rims to get done. Yikes.

I recon 1.5" lift from springs, 2" lift from 35" tires, 1" from 33" tires. Cab heights should be listed on website of mfg (pg 162 on fuso bbd). http://www.mitfuso.com/en-US/Resources/Literature

Sorry to hear the news about your father.

I've seen Howard post about the tranny flash (starts the tranny in 1st gear). I got a notice on my cold weather kit EGR heater, the fuel line, and something else I cant recall. I haven't been in yet. I'm going to have them flash the ECM for my new tire size at the same time to save money...

Ski, I appreciate the input. I made this decision based on a few things. First is that I will likely put 20-40k miles a year on this truck on highway. Second, I've done a lot of backcountry driving in Jeeps. Being right above the wheels is much more pronounced than being in between the axles...

I've measured out the Knoedlers for my 2013 and I think with only the inside arm rest they will fit with 4" of travel. I've got them on order so I hope so :)

8" for the deflated Knoedler extreme low rider, 9" for stock FG4x4 seat measured from front top of bottom cushion to floor.

I had a long talk with a Knoedler dealer and at least on a 2012+ they in fact do not have any brackets to fit a Fuso. However their extreme lowrider base and seat would appear to fit within the floor footprint needed in the fuso cabin. Maybe not with 2 arm rests though.

Dan, out of curiosity how much lift?

Have you checked your grounds? I had a diagnosis one time that suggested to replace the ECM due to the wiring testing fine and ECM not giving the proper readings back - it was an 02 sensor code. I took it somewhere else who checked ALL the grounds and found one which sat under the ECM to be...

I often wondered these things before I purchased my 2013 Fuso FG4x4 ( FG140) so I thought I would add and update this thread for posterity. The truck is a 2013 and has a 6 speed Duonic transmission. It has the 5.714 axle ratios. Cab and Chasis only (no house), factory tires Fuel data...

I second the 1UP rack. Tough as nails. I would go off the front bumper.

Sure rub it in :)

What's your time worth? How efficient and skilled are you? Those are two important questions each must consider. I find that often I am better off working extra hours and earning money than say dropping my fuel tank to change a fuel pump for example. Everyone has to make a living including...

I like Donaldson's products. I use the oil, fuel and air filters in my 6.7 dodge. I didn't realize they had gotten into intake assemblies. Interesting. Thanks for the link.

I was thinking the same thing.
