    Got a Fuso. It was sweet. Then it broke.

    I've got a spare complete rear axle that you're welcome to have. I don't know how many (if any) of the parts interchange with the front. It's from a 1992 I believe, in really nice shape. In Bellingham, WA

    Brake issues

    Ooh! Rain sounds good. We're like 57 days without a drop here in the other WA. At least the smoke from forest fires in B.C. is starting to clear. We had air quality worse than Beijing for a couple of weeks. August 4th at 10:40 am -

    Brake issues

    When I got my FG half of the wheel cylinders were frozen and contributing nothing to the braking. After replacing the cylinders, shoes, and drums the brakes are wonderful. You should confirm that your brakes are actually working properly before trying to upgrade them.

    leaking heater core

    They must use a different heater in Australia. The heater core is clearly visible after taking off the front of the dash and it just slides out the side of the heater box. But the aluminum tubes are held by a plastic bracket that is fastened to the bottom of the heater box so the whole box has...

    leaking heater core

    Has anyone replaced the heater core on an '06 Fuso? Mines leaking all over the cab floor, pulled the dash panels and it looks like a nightmare. Does any one have a copy of that section of the repair manual?

    2006 Mitsubishi Fuso with Flatbed Camper (sold)

    Yes. I've had a lot of calls and questions but no lookers. I'll probably have to return the camper to it's original pickup truck slide in state in order to sell it.

    2006 Mitsubishi Fuso with Flatbed Camper (sold)

    I never cruise any faster than 65-70 mph indicated speed. Mitsubishi claims the top speed is 75 mph which would be closer to 80 on the speedo. The truck has huge sway bars and feels very steady in high winds. We were in a brutal wind storm in the painted desert and although we slowed down quite...

    2006 Mitsubishi Fuso with Flatbed Camper (sold)

    They make a crew cab version,you could buy one and put the camper on it. It would be a big undertaking to stretch the single cab.

    2006 Mitsubishi Fuso with Flatbed Camper (sold)

    The GCWR is 19,503 and it weighs about 12,000 loaded up so I guess that means it can tow 7,503 . The last time I kept track of the fuel mileage it ranged from 11 mpg to 14 mpg depending on wind, grade, etc. This load didn't slow it down any :
