On a road trip: denver-Chicago-Rochester-Maine--Nova Scotia-Newfoundland and back. In the middle of Ohio, my foot started slipping off the clutch pedal. Thought I had stepped in some oil in the rest area. But no, clutch master cylinder was leaking. Got on at a Fuso dealer in Syracuse NY. But heads up if you have to replace one. There's a cotter pin holding the end of the plunger to the clutch pedal that is in a very difficult place to reach. I managed to get it out but you really need a very long needle nosed pliers or vice grips to access it. Getting it back in will be dicey. (edit--I decided to replace the cotter pin with a spring hitch clip. Much easier to install and remove. The FG manual shows a spring clip in that location but mine had a cotter pin and it looked original)
Also discovered that Fuso dealers don't carry a lot of parts. Seems their policy is to rely on a national or regional warehouse which then ships to the dealer. So if you're looking for parts in the US, be aware there is typically a few days wait for parts. I drove about 3 hours to the dealer who just happened to have a clutch master cylinder. But for instance, he didn't have a slave cylinder for the FG.
By the way, fuel economy checked over the first 1600 miles has been 12.6 mpg. Driving interstates at about 63-67mph
