Thought I would update. My van sat for a couple of weeks when gone on vacation. Completely flattened my battery. Got some kind of parasitic draw that I need to run down, later. As to the setbelt idiot light, the dead battery seems to have reset it. So far. So maybe the "fix" is a simple...

Speedy, Thanks for the pics and clarification. Those cubbys are fantastic, and I will be looking at those as a possibility for my van. I have a single wide bed longways along the driver side rear, and a small table/flat box over the rear passenger wheel well, and really need a place for small...

Andy, Thanks, I think that is the picture I have in my file manual, or something similar. It is a bit confusing, but I absolutely have no wiring on the female/stalk, and it had been working perfectly until recently.

Andy, Thanks. The system was working fine until a week ago. There are absolutely no wires going into or out of the female end (manual calls it a stalk) that is bolted to the floor. There is what looks like a grommet in the floor above the bolt holding this stalk to the floor, but it is...

Got a new little problem, '92 L300. My seatbelt warning/dash light no longer turns off after inserting the tab into the buttoned stalk. Not sure whether there is a buzzer to go with it, as my tinnitus precludes hearing anything like that.;) The manual indicates that there may be a switch in...

I acquired mine in NM. The previous owner only had it a short time, and was imported locally. He said no issue with registration here in NM. Zero issues with title transfer. As to insurance, I did not have much success with my Regular, Farmers. But was a snap with State Farm. I gave them a...

Jon, Looks great. I am not sure whether it is handier to be able to woodwork or sew on these van builds, but you really need both skills. A few weeks ago I sewed up a canvas awning for mine, and I had lots of beer handy. Not a wine drinker. Funny thing happened, no snarls on the bobbin...

I ordered and received mine recently from ETrailer here in the US. Maybe check with them to see if they will ship to you, or perhaps have a suggestion for canada? Link below, Craig...

GB, Thanks for the confirmation. I now have it adjusted so the linkage arm of the IP (with the coil spring) is resting on the idle screw, 750 rpm, and I adjusted the cable sheath length with the nut and screw at the point the cable rests in the adjustment nut bracket on the right side of the...

Another piggy back here. My '92 just started exhibiting the exact OP condition. When things warm up, the idle creeps a tad. I just got back from a mountain trip up to about 10000 ft, and when I stopped to let things cool down (engine still running) it would not idle down below 2000 rpm. I...

PA, That is how my rear Monroe's work. Couple of things. The schrader valve is plastic. If you have a compressor fitting that screws on, it is easy to cross thread the plastic. My new inflator came with a brass screw-on fitting, and I added one of the slide-over-press-the-lever-down type of...

Rossta, Will do but may not be any updates for a while, as my first trip with moto may not be until July. I would also make note that I did replace my rear shocks with the Monroe MA708, which I updated in the 7 page shock thread. These are the air shocks that you fill with air at your desired...

Rossta, Mine too had a little bit of sag. I filed the lower rear holes open on both sides, pivoted to position and used some thin metal to shim the area above the bolt, and below the washer to hold the angle. This issue with bumper model was noted in one of the long hitch threads. I'm...

Seems like the correct place to add this info. I replaced my '92 4WD stock suspension model's shocks this last weekend. The fronts are the noted Bilstein 24-013369. These went in without any issues at all. Two large wire tie straps combined allowed me to compress the shock for an easy fit...

Bike rack is getting closer. Here is my Surron E Bike on the new triple hitch. You can see the old style carrier in the background. Very excited about having support at the wheels as opposed to the single middle point carrier which get serious rockin' and rollin' when off road. Craig

Thanks for the help. Definitely nothing there, nor any remnants of anything. I did track down someone in town here who can do muffler stuff, so I may take it by if I cannot figure something out myself. Thanks, Craig

Thank you sir. I should have looked in the "manual". That document tends to overwhelm me, but I better get used to it. Looks like a short C. I'll crawl back under and have a peek, now that I know about where something needs to be kludged from my NAPA. No exhaust shops in my little berg...

Spent the weekend installing SK's very nice EGT/boost plates, along with a Turbosmart manual boost controller. It went exactly per the Nameless Co youtube video. Stock boost around 9 psi, spike to 10. Running now at a solid 12psi at peak, and the improvement is definitely noticeable. The...

While mucking around under my van (92 L300) this weekend installing a triple hitch, I found that there is no rear hanger of any kind on my stock exhaust. It hangs at the muffler, but no hanger between the muffler and the rear exhaust tip. This does not seem normal to me, I did not see any...

Thanks, 13. I am thinking if someone does not offer a suggestion for doing the clips from the outside, I may just drill the rivots for now, and ponder whether they need to go. All of my seals are in great shape, as least as they are sitting unmolested by me. I have plans for a portable diesel...
