    Recommended FG Mechanics

    My Experience We had ok but limited service experience with the Fuso dealer in Las Vegas, NV, and very good service from Ry-Den MF in Fresno. Our experience with our local dealer in Albuquerque, Bruckner's, has been mostly poor. They have three Fuso mechanics (the dealership mostly does Volvo...

    FG Has Problem at High Elevation

    Thanks dlh62c. You've nailed what my main concern is. The 2007 FG uses the Bosch CP3.3 pump which has a fuel feed pump integral to it. It pulls fuel from the tank; there is no separate lift pump. It's hard to get solid information on this issue. Some Chevy diesels have the same pump, with...

    FG Has Problem at High Elevation

    FG Has Problem at High Elevation

    Thanks Raker. That is certainly a possibility. I wish I had a pyrometer; I should install one. I installed one on my Dodge 2500 with the Cummins 6.7l engine and it was certainly eye-opening to see the range of temperatures depending on how much you were on the "gas". It's a little unnerving...

    FG Has Problem at High Elevation

    Thanks for the input Jon. And thanks for showing us Robinson Fuso at Expo this year. Very generous with your time and information. There is a fuel rail pressure sensor that sends an input signal to the ECU. But I'm not sure why the pressure would be low given that we were able to maintain a...

    FG Has Problem at High Elevation

    I need help with a Fuso problem. The problem is erratic operation at high elevations. We recently took our Earthcruiser, built on a 2007 Fuso FG chassis, up Pikes Peak which tops out at 14,115 feet. All was fine until we got somewhere within a mile or so from the top at maybe 13,000 feet...
