@@oohhhhh your very welcome :) I will say my 6.0L was not very nice to me and had to get rid of her about 3 years ago. I think every trip we took there was some sort of breakdown :( Mark

I did not torque to a specific spec, I just went tight then a little more, they are very good quality clamps that can take a lot of force :)

Thank you!

Thank you so much, I now don’t have this truck anymore :( The 6.0L finally got to me

Wait till you have to change an injector, lol Look at diesel tech Ron, he has done a ton of videos for this engine :)

Thank you very much :) I have been down some crazy trails with it, 400 has got me thru it. The factory plastic skid plate lasted 1 year, I got the factory aluminum one and it lasted one trip. I am in the process of fighting with CFMoto to get my $ back for the "up graded" skid plate :(

Thats awsome!! I wish he would have done the stand pipes and dummy plugs on both sides, but not a big deal, I think the parts were like $80 for everything. the money is in the labour and knowlage, You should be good to go for a long time, always use ford parts on this thing, really good oil, change regularly, and a rad flush and refill with the proper fluid from ford is best because the engine does get hot normally, crappy oil and coolant will fail. you will be fine this winter. and yes I used the tourque app all the time just to monitor things on the go and to have the err code reader on hand :)

This one is a 6.0L Diesel, but it was about 18L per 100Km or 13MPG Thanks for watching :)

@@markgraves7972 Didn't you have a Class C with a 7.3L?

@@jimbertrand2499 I wish, no this was a 2006 6.0L I should have held out for a 7.3 then I would still have it :(

​@@markgraves7972 Mr Graves.. thank you fur your airbag install... I myself have a 97 E350 Class B+.. Chinook type RV Your install was under adverse conditions and you did it ... Motivated me because my clearances are wider.. Your tool breakdown was invaluable.. I was about to embark on the installation and realized that I need to pick up a couple of more tools Thank you

@@camposvazquez I'm so happy I could help :) thank you for the kind words Mark

I am happy to help out :)

I am very happy you found a trust worthy mechanic :) as long as you don't need injectors you should be good. I am very curious to see what he finds, it is a great engine once the little things are taken care of

that is very cool you found someone with knowledge!!! so happy for you. Im sure you have a sticky injector or two with the rough starts, Im not sure about the stalling issue... maybe the FICM needs to be re soldered (A couple components inside have know bad solder joints and can cause a low voltage issues controlling the injectors) Best is to let this guy hook it up to the scan tool and see whats going on. these engines actually have lots of sensors that tell you tons, but non of that info goes to the gauge cluster, go figure. Also look up getting a ODB2 conector and a tablet that way you can have real time engine data in the cab as you are driving. I did it and it was awsome to have the info, you can also get err codes from the computer as you are driving too. Diesel tech Ron did a great video on it and lets you know what things you want to look at :) Happy 6.0L'ing lol Mark

@@markgraves7972 I do use Torque Pro on an Android tablet and actually even record some of the data to my onboard data system running on a Raspberry Pi - generally useless of course but... I too like to watch the data while I'm driving along! I will look up the that video from Ron and check it out. I have never had any error codes so maybe that it a good sign. FICM voltage is good. Water/oil temperature differential is good. I just need to be confident that it will not be a problem in the middle of Mexico! Last winter I was a mess for the first month always wondering if the thing would start - not an ideal way to spend your vacation. Anyway, appreciate the support and ideas. I will let you know how it works out..... Mike

ford should be able to do the top fuel filter no problem, lol I can do in like 2 hours taking my time. The dummy plugs and stand pipesare a different beast, the drivers side valve cover will come off no problem from the back once you take the dog house off. I also took out the seats just to give more working room :) the passenger side valve cover is another story, the motor mount on the drivers side must be removed so the engine can tilt that way to give the extra few millimeters of clearance to get the passenger valve cover off. As for shops, you need to be on the look out for 6.0L trucks and then chat with the owners to see where they get work done and interview the mechanic to see if they know what they are talking about. In my town I talked with a couple shops and decided that they would do more harm then good and had to do the work myself :( sorry bud, keep me posted on your progress :)

@@markgraves7972 Thanks for the input. I think I can manage the fuel filter - your video helps no doubt - but the dummy plugs are too much for me. It seems OK for now and we will be heading back to Mexico so I sure hope so. The crank time when cold hasn't really increased in 20k which seems like a good sign and driveability is good. And I agree that it is not easy to find knowledgeable mechanics. I have not found any that I would trust in our little town. I'll let you know how it goes.....Mike

Very cool trip!!! thank you for watching :) I did the standpipe and dummy plug job on mine, only like $100 for the parts, but lots of work to replace :( Diesel tech Ron, on youtube has tons of great infor for you to check out. I would do the upgrade on the standpipe and dummy plugs, as mine got worse and worse to the point where I had to wait an hour for the oil to cool down enough to be thick enough to build enough pressure to open the injectors. once I changed them and inspected the oring was almost split in half and ready to clog something or take out the IPR valve. Once I started to learn more about the fail points of this engine I had to sell :( we did 25000km in 3 years and countless repairs, sadly I had enough

@@markgraves7972 I was aware of the long list of issues with the 6.0 but the unit was such a good fit that I decided to take a chance. It really hasn't changed in 20k so I'll probably just hold off - and it sure isn't something I would attempt on my own. Keeping the batteries fully charged keeps cranking speed up which helps some. But I suspect that it really is only a matter of time... Diesel tech Ron was a great asset and left some great stuff no doubt. Good luck on your latest project.

When i changed mine for the first time it was black and needed changing big time!! then I was doing it every other oil change and what a difference :) I so glad this helped you

Great video! I read that fuel filter bowl drain valve "O" rings and/or drain valve can sometimes leak. Or maybe the cap isn't snug/tight enough. My 1999 E450 leaks about 1/2 cup after I turn off engine. Maybe dirty filter increases pressure so fuel finds a way to leak from weak point. I think filters need to be changed every 5000 or 10,000 miles (someone said after 2 oil change), depending on situation. Did you ever fix your leak?

@@acemoto2319 Hey! Yep, replaced the filter and put a new ring on and hasn't happened since. I'm only at about 1,500, maybe 2,000 miles since the change, but will keep an eye on it around 5k or so. But we're good :)

@@ScarmackProductions Ok great thanks for info ScarMack! Good to know whole fuel bowl was not needed to change. Continued blessings!

You would have to mask off the letters because of over spray, I have seen people put masking on the project fist then cnc, trouble is its never perfect and I find you have to do more work to fix :( So happy you are getting into the hobby :)

@@markgraves7972 Thank you for the reply. I wish I had gotten into this hobby sooner but had other interesting things going on in my life so no complaints.

worked great, I think this is the max load for this product. Not sure if there is a bigger set, I got an extra 2-3 inch, I think it actually put it back to factory height. Looked more level in the back and not squatted down, I still had to install roller wheels on the rear frame so when the frame was about to scrape, it just slid on the wheels

Thanks for watching!! :) cant wait to see what you come up with

Thank you very much :)

whatever stock is, 24-8-12 front, 24-10-12 rear once these are done I would like to get something with a more aggressive tread :)

Thank you soo much for watching :) Ride did not change much because of this mod, helped with getting out of drive way and got rid of rear suspension sag, I guess a new set of springs could have done the same. For ride quality I found tire pressure was the best, once I dropped from 85psi to like just below 80psi and was night and day :)

On your Class A, are you inflating tires to the pressure molded on the tire sidewall or the pressure printed on the tire pressure label on the RV? Max inflation pressure on tires can make them ride like a empty gravel truck!

Thank you very much for the advice!!! I just did a tail gate in a more traditional style stripe, and I have a guitar coming up that I'm not sure yet what to do on it till I have it in my shop :)

what year is yours? I did not have to remove the oil filler neck, only time I had to do that was to change an injector and also when I did stand pipes and dummy plugs :)

Wow, thanks Steve!! I will se what I can do :)

very cool story, thank you for watching. I think mine had just been neglected :( Once I fix a few problems, should be good to go :)

@@markgraves7972 In case you are interested, here are a couple of links. This company has the replacement wheels and replacement front springs for those building an Earth Cruiser. Good folks. I almost got new front springs from them, as I mentioned the camber had gone out of mine. Instead, I did the 2 pairs of over the leaf helpers. I had to grind a little angle on a couple of them to get them to fit perfect. One spring in front of the axle and one behind the axle. Ride is much much better. But obviously the replacement springs are superior but 70 bucks vs. 1300 bucks is a big difference. As I am now retired, I only use the truck for hauling firewood, hay and occasional lumber for a home building project. www.fusooffroad.com/fuso-leaf-spring-suspension-systems/ www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/rideeffex/accessories/truck--towing---jeep/trailer---towing/trailer-accessories/spring-helpers---shock-extenders/b3ec48504439/superior-rideeffex-leaf-spring-helper/spr4/111035 On a side note, when I was down in Australia, they have the Fuso's with a 6 cylinder. I would like to have had one of those when I was pulling the machinery around! Have fun!

Hi @vernonpeterson4021 I have recently purchased a 95 FUSO Canter FG. It’s a JDM vehicle brought into the states in 2022. You mention a Mitchell overdrive you had installed on your truck. Looking them up, the company I found manufactures overdrives for antique ford vehicles. Is this the outfit you used for the OD in your truck? It sounds like you have gotten very good usage out of your FG. It gives me hope that mine with 7k (800 hours) will serve me well. Thanks

Thanks for watching, sorry not sure. Diesel teck ron may have a video about that or powerstroke help . com

Thanks J, not much else to do on HWY 11, lol

Many thanks

Why thank you very much Mark :)

Thanks Phillip :) I do it all for you 😜

@@markgraves7972 Yeah I know it. Lol

I would not import, there is north American models from the factory, they are rare but are here. You just have to wait for one to go up for sale. Insurance company is saying mine is imported and charging me a small fortune for insurance. I am in the middle of contacting Mitsubishi to prove its not an import :(

@@markgraves7972 thank you!!

@@markgraves7972 No US narrow cabs though, and almost all the North American ones are Auto.

Thank you for watching :) There is lots of crap wrong with this one so if you wait long enough I will probably touch everything on this, lol

@@markgraves7972 I hear ya. I’m looking at a 2013 Fuso 4x4. New factory engine and new trans. Waiting for the story about both of those. They still want $45k for it. It looks like it’s in good shape. I really don’t know where the pricing should be at on one of these. It’s in Stouffville on kijiji. Not sure if you’re a GTA guy or not. Anyways, I’m hoping to learn a little watching. Keep it up. 👍🏻

I'm in London, I know that black one, been for sale for a bit, looks really nice, but pricy, I think there is one in Ottawa for much cheaper at the moment. Keep me informed on what you get :)

@@markgraves7972 Absolutely!

@@markgraves7972 I ended up getting that black Fuso. Looking forward to future videos, man! Fuso on!

Thank you very much for watching!! LOL he loves to wench, I think we are actually using his socket set he got for Christmas on this job :)

lol, thank you, ya this was a quick vid I did for the customer with my old phone, very crapy indeed! I have a new video coming up in a couple weeks about striping my laptop in the style of your name sake. Please subscribe and keep an eye out. I promise that video is only slightly better :) Mark
