    Airing down weight question

    I understand the weight limits and pressures are coming from Toyo's Load & Inflation Table Application Guide. What formula is being used to calculate the maximum speed for a tire running less pressure?

    Recommended FG Mechanics

    Rush Truck Center in Salt Lake has been doing the work on our 2015 FG4x4. There are only two Fuso mechanics at the dealership and I've meet them both. The first time I took it in, I was able to go over some of the items, bullbar, etc. and I've been happy with the work they have done. A few small...

    Convoluted tire size question

    Rush Truck Center in Salt Lake City. They did not have a code for our tire size. He tried a few settings, but over some speed it would go wonky. So they opened a ticket with Fuso and the next day it was working great. I didn't get the setting they used, but there are only two Fuso guys at the...

    Convoluted tire size question

    I've experienced similar results with our 2015, but have also noticed a few things: The amount of times that it throws a T/Oil Temp Warning has significantly dropped once we had the software update done (I actually can't remember the last one I've gotten). Some of this might be related to the...

    Anza Borrego Christmas w/ Video

    Hoping to find some warmer weather for the holiday break, we loaded up our EarthCrusier FX in a snow storm and set off for more sun and warmth. We stopped for the night outside of Blythe, CA to check out the Blythe Intaglios. Hiking along the Impossible Railway: A short video from the...

    FG's in Action

    We had good luck about 1/2 way up the Peralta Road out of Gold Canyon for camping. Great trailhead with lots of exploring to be had. 1st Water Trailhead was also good, but no camping along that road.

    Resetting ECU after changing the oil?

    Yes. The icon showed the gas pump and was displaying current fuel economy. It may have reset the ECU when it flashed orange, but I did not see any change to the maintenance settings.

    Resetting ECU after changing the oil?

    I just gave this a try on my 2015 with no luck. My results: The display was set to the fuel screen and after holding the accelerator for 20+ seconds and then 4 pumps of the brake pedal, the fuel icon turned to an orange sys icon. I continued to 6 pumps and the orange sys went back to the green...

    OBD monitors

    Looks like for 2010 model year and later ODB-II must be supported for heavy-duty diesels (over 14,000 lbs). Emissions might have been required from 2007. http://www3.epa.gov/obd/regtech/420f08032.pdf

    OBD monitors

    I've had good luck with this scan tool and their android software on my US 2015 FG4x4: [ScanTool 427201 OBDLink LX Bluetooth](http://www.amazon.com/ScanTool-427201-OBDLink-Bluetooth-Diagnostic/dp/B00H9S71LW/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1444341856&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=odblink+odbII) - Bluetooth...

    Egt temps?

    I'm using OBD II to pull some numbers from my US 2015 FG. I see post-turbo temps of ~455c on long climbs. ~550c during regen. I've been letting it cool to 205c or below before I shutdown.

    Utah! We just got back from a week in Colorado and are loving it. The use of space inside is amazing and is very well thought out. Plenty of room for us and our two big dogs. With the weather in Colorado, we made extensive use of the mud room entry way. Now we just need to figure out how to take...
