The chap from New Zealand whose Fuso was parked in the exhibits area of the Expo this year (2013) said that he had driven his thousands of miles from Queensland to Vladivostok, to here, there, and everywhere, said his chip increased the hp (torque?) at his rear wheel from 75 to 100 and that...

You'll see a fairly large roundish sheet metal housing or part (what is this?), and it's tucked up under it. You have to get down low with a good light, push the clutch pedal up and down, and you'll see the black actuator plate coming toward you. Everything is painted black, but my switch's...

I just had the same problem with my 1990. I ordered the switch, which was not the same--smaller and with different connections. I ended up putting the old "defective" switch back in and adjusting it, and viola'! it's working fine now. The switch is located in a rough spot to get at to the left...

What kind of kilometers? Was it a work truck or RV?

Why was the smaller FG unsatisfactory and converted to a stakebed? Does the larger FG have a bigger engine? Would that larger engine fit into the smaller FG?

Chip, what do you see as the pros and cons of the dual and SRW on the FG?

I had heard that conversion to SRW was "impossible." Does anyone in the USA do this conversion? I'm in San Diego CA.

How devilishly CLEVER--THANKS!

Do you mean that you had brake lights some of the time, but not all of the time? Mine seem to just completely gone, leading me to suspect the switch, but I'll check both. Got any photos of your rig anywhere?

Thanks! Did you splice the wire?

Yeah, I just stumbled into it by searching the web. I wish this site had a way to get notification of posts to selected threads. Maybe it does, but I haven't seen any way to sign up.

Power, Loading, and Towing I understand that there are ways to get more power out of this engine, but that can introduce problems? Comments? What about the automatic transmission? Comments? Will a bigger engine fit? Cost? The Fuso FG will do just about anything off-road, but it is no...

I have been in love with my 1990 Fuso FG 4x4 diesel ever since I saw it on Craig's list a few months ago. Here's my first problem: All four (two mounted on top of the RV body) of the brake lights are out, but the fuse is ok and the horn still honks. I'm thinking it's the switch but can't find...

Outfitter Apex 9.5 "problems" and solutions I have a 2006 Outfitter Apex 9.5 that I've driven all over the western US, and it has held up well. The only significant problem I've had with it was a busted roll pin; I replaced it with a hard solid bolt turned down to fit into the rack...

I can't figure out how to load them.

I'm considering a coolant heater that keeps my engine warm but has a heater core installed in place of the gas heater. I have seen one that runs on diesel (mounted at a safe place outside the living unit), but it costs about $1,500. That might be cheap if rigging up some Rube Goldberg system...

Outfitter Camper I have been all over the western US with the 9.5 Apex with lots of options since 2007 mounted on my 2005 Ford F250 HD 4X4 XLT with custom Bilstein shocks and air bags and haven't had any major trouble with either, and certainly no load problems. I had a leak in the toilet which...

New to forum Brain picker I'm trying this out to get my sea legs on this forum. If this is wrong, send me packing, but I'm so impressed with the skills here . . . well, here goes: I recently bought a 1990 Fuso FG. I'm in San Diego USA, and I travel mostly in NA, mostly in the USA Southwest...

Bilstein shocks This from a Bilstein design engineer: "Interesting stuff. I hope they are only using the shocks they mentioned on lifted trucks, they would bottom out on a stock Fuso." I took the liberty of sending him a link to this discussion.
