O Mitsubishi FusoCanter has been a legendary workhorse since 1963, known for its durability and efficiency. However, fleet managers often face engine overheating issues with Euro 5 models (2014+). This guide explains why theAPCF-72278 Heavy-Duty Radiatoris the vital upgrade needed for your fleet.

Common Causes of Overheating
Structural Failures: OEM plastic header tanks can become brittle due to thermal cycling, leading to hairline fractures and coolant loss.
Clogged Fins: Road debris in industrial or urban environments often clogs or bends cooling fins, which lowers heat exchange efficiency.
Transmission Heat: Automatic transmission (AT) models share cooling paths; if the radiator is compromised, thermal energy can transfer back to the engine, causing simultaneous spikes in temperature.

Pro Maintenance Tip: Inspect header tanks for crusty residue, as this indicates dried coolant leaking from fractures and signals a need for replacement.
