First experience with DEF and DPF systems...the truck is at less than 600km and already I am at the dealer with issues. Ended up in limp mode, unable to get out of it even after a manual regeneration, needed to be towed. Dealer replaced the pump unit (which also includes sensors), a 1100$CA part, on warranty. It is not a reassuring start....
On another note, the Fuso is mounted on super single wheels with 37" tires. The dealer wants to reprogram the transmission to take into account the size of the tires. (nothing to do with recalibrating the speedometer, that is done already). The dealer contacted Mitsubishi engineering to get the new programming but they can't seem to actually get it, the Fuso has been sitting in the dealer's lot for over a week now. The dealer told me the transmission would burn up with such tires.
The dealer is also preparing a list of regular issues with Fuso's. On many of those, when they encounter them, they don't just fix it, they upgrade it so it doesn't happen again. They offered me to do some of those upgrades before the issues shows up. One example they gave me was the electric wire linking the battery to the starter, telling me often in cold weather, when cranking the engine a long time to start, the electric wire being too small overheat, get damaged and then shorts. They would replace it with a bigger gauge to prevent the issue.
What do you think?
