Thanks Gait. I just saw your messages, I haven't logged in for a while. I am now in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. the route through Russia was Baikal, Novosibirsk, Barnaul, Astana, (Kazakhstan). Still had problems with the truck. The rear stabiliser broke in 2 places, (I have aftermarket suspension). We...

Thanks Gait. I finally got the starter motor today. We installed it, the vehicle had been completely serviced, (new filters, oil, contacts cleaned, etc) over the past week while we were waiting for it. The engine worked well surprisingly. The orange check engine light was off, so no limit to...

I have 2 aftermarket fuel tanks. The mechanics don't think it is a fuel leak otherwise air would've been coming through the lines. I haven't had any problems with tank changeover until now. The engine does behave the same way with both tanks and biodiesel was in both. A complete, (and very...

The Thermostat has been put back in again and is operating as it should be. All the oils and filters were changed today. We haven't started it up again, though I'm not expecting the misfiring to go away. The CRPS error still comes up even after the other codes are clear. I am very concerned and...

I think the problem is too little fuel. The temperature has varied a lot, from 30deg in the south of China to 0 deg here. I was having overheating problems in the SE Asian countries, so I took the thermostat out, (though it does seem to work OK) and a bigger radiator was put in. I do think the...

Thanks for the clarification on the CRPS. I will check all the things you mentioned. The exhaust smoke is black when it backfires. The amount of smoke seemed to be getting worse over the past few months. Since the truck was limited to 2000RPM, ther hasn't been any exhaust smoke at all. I put...

Thanks Gait. The engine is a 4M50-3AT7. The water separater is Ok, I will change the fuel filter again on Monday. Just to confirm, are you saying there is no way to clean the common rail pressure sensor?

The misfiring is what I'm worried about. I'm no good with electronics and the mechanic here seems to have no idea either, so I am hoping things will be relatively straightforward. Thanks for your help.

Again sorry for the late response. I made it to Mongolia. I got 120kms short of Ulaanbaatar and my 'new' radiator I got in Laos developed another crack, (for the 3rd time). me and a couple of locals took it out and put the old one in, (which no longer fitted). We tied it in with wire in true...

Hello, My truck is sitting next to 2 Earthcruisers at MSM in Ulaanbaatar. Is that where you were going to suggest? So far I've found MSM very average to deal with and have very little knowledge of the FG84.

Thanks for all the advice, manuals, etc. I don't have much time, so just a quick reply. The filter was changed just 2 weeks ago, but will have a look again. I don't have an obd2 reader. I will look into where to get one. The injectors have just been replaced, (I had some spare ones). They...

Hi All, I have a 2008 FUSO FG84 and I'm in China heading to Mongolia. I had an issue last week where I climbed to the top of a hill and the truck died. With some investigation, we found the starter motor was shot, so I got one in from Thailand. There were still problems with the engine making...
