We believe our bus has the same motor as the Mitsi Fuso truck FK & FM series (6D14-2 motor ) had a look on the google thingy but the info there is double double dutch to us, assistance pleaseT1 Terry wrote:I would just use the ratios advertised for a similar weight capacity truck of the same brand and turbo charged engine size. It's an engineer you are dealing with, they just need numbers to write in the boxes. If the ratios are deemed not satisfactory, then you can point to the same ratio gearbox in a registered truck that was deemed suitable for Aust roads and that will end the argument
