Porterfield Ap530 Porterfield Ap567 These part numbers can be cross referenced to work with L400. They are 1995 montero LS Rear rotors are from montero and front rotors are delica specific

Hopefully someone here has a parts delica that can provide you with one

Maybe there is one like it from a montero or other import vehicle that can be modified to work? I wouldn’t trust the solder on a worn coil

Appears to be the rear blower motor resistor

Anyone have a way to 3D print or replicate the trim on the rear mirror? Mine has disintegrated and I’m sure yours will too

Loosen the jam nut a couple of threads and the center coupler should adjust

Thank you for updating your findings

Got any pics of the fan rubbing marks? Do any of the pulleys wobble? If belts are good, proper tension when reinstalling most important

Remove the idler pulley and inspect bearing by hand, if you are just checking it while loose, you could be feeling the through bolt wobbling. Inspect the rubber on the crankshaft pulley. Do all of your timing marks line up? Can check the cam position with the old fill cap removed. There is...

Yes, you don’t want to compromise the design, on a different vehicle years ago I ended up with some custom rear tie rod ends that did not have the threads rolled properly and they started to bend. Always best to use the correct part

2wd as opposed to 4wd? I would use the correct ones unless you can make these work. Good news is since the new ones are longer you will have more thread engagement with hopes of achieving the correct toe spec

If a diesel starts with help from starting fluid (be careful as not a good idea to using starter fluid!!!) the starting fluid increases the rpm and can help build the fuel pressures to start the engine. Always use freshly charged batteries when diagnosing an issue with diesel.

Thank you for sharing this, I always wondered how this system worked. I will have to read this several times!

My L400 was Caster 3-3.5* positive with adjustment for road crown Camber we were shooting for .5* negative but settled with .5* positive given lift kit. Toe is set slightly positive (toe in 1/16”) Rear is similar less the caster. Hope this helps!

You just may be correct and my wording was wrong. I know if the engine stalls the van loses vacuum to the actuator and defaults into 4wd. If the lights are flashing then yes, you very well could have a vacuum issue. I was under the Impression on original post that this van in question doesn’t...
