Hey all, Out of the blue my Delica has some strange things going on. I have a few lights on, power steering seems powerless, I've entirely lost my heater/climate control, and I have really weird squeaking sounds coming from the engine bay that don't sound like a belt. I'll include video at the...

Hey Delica parents of young children, I'm curious where you're putting the carseat in the Delica? The captains seat belts are no good since they don't lock, and the rear bench seat is a bit of a climb and hassle. Thought about welding up a custom mount but geez. I have a 9 month old and I've...

Heyo, looking for a TD04 (oil-cooled) in at-least decent shape.

Year, Model: 1989 Mitsubishi Delica L300 Exceed (P25W) Color: Arctic Blue / White Engine: 4D56T (Turbo-Diesel) Transmission: Automatic Kilometers: 207k Location: Los Angeles, CA Price: $12,000 OBO This is a pretty stock specimen with most of the typical upgrades and some custom goodies. I've...

I removed the EGR solenoids during an EGR delete, and it seems that might’ve screwed me. I no longer hear the click of the glow plug timer. When I crank the engine, I hear clicking like mad from the glow plug relay, but I don’t think there’s any current flowing to the busbar. I didn’t think the...

I naively never thought the day would come but it seems my head gasket has been compromised. I first noticed white smoke and a loss of power, and discovered that I'd run pretty low on oil ( I let a gradual leak go far too long ). Simultaneously, I added hoseclamps to my Mishimoto catch can setup...

My tach has been out of commission since I bought the van, but I assumed it was a 'read-only' value that had no correlation to the A/T shifting. It wasn't until recently that a friend indicated a point in my acceleration where my transmission was hesitating. I'd assumed this was just a dip in...

Just swapped my wheels and tires. I’ve got these white OEMs and BFG KO2s (235/75/R15) up for grabs. Tread wear is pretty mild, they probably have a few years of life. I want em out of my hair so I’ll take any type of offer. Local takers preferred, I don’t know how the hell I’d ship these...

Planning on changing the pan gasket with a liquid RTV tonight. Chasing an oil leak that may be coming from the old gasket. What do I need to unbolt to get the pan free? Looks like perhaps just the two parallel bars that mount to the crossmember and the lower transmission cover? Any issues with...

Has anyone thrown in LEDs to a pre-facelift Deli? Would love testimonials, pics, reviews, options, part numbers, you name it. It looks like a standard 4x6 to me so the options seem plentiful if so.

I legitimately cannot find a single biodiesel station in LA. Does anyone have a favorite spot? Even if it’s a bit out of the way, lemme know!

Has anyone here installed an IAT sensor in their EGR delete plate or intercooler setup? There are a few options out there, but I'd love to hear about a positive experience if possible, as quality is obviously more critical here than with a post-turbo pyrometer. I can only really utilize options...

Hey all, I'm changing soft fuel lines today, and curious about the process of restoring fuel to the lines once swapped. My gut is telling me the manual push pump on the fuel filter is the answer, and I just keep working that thing til I can't any longer. Hoping I don't have to bump the starter...

I'm deleting the A/C system entirely. I'm designing a thermoelectric Peltier A/C that'll feed into an ongoing intercooler design, and utilize a secondary radiator. I'm sure deleting the condenser will make my main radiator a hell of a lot more efficient in the mean time. My question is whether...

I searched a bit but couldn't find the size of the vacuum lines on the 4D56. I'm guessing they're 3-5mm inner diameter, but would love to be certain before I pull the trigger on replacements. Thanks all.

I peeled off my glow plug plate (the sheet metal connecting all 4 plugs electrically) to clean off what I thought was crusted oil, and found that it was actually corrosion (probably aluminum oxide). However I haven't heard the term "rust" applied to aluminum, even though aluminum does in fact...

Okay so long story short, I'm a knucklehead and forgot to drop my jack and let the van start rolling. I stopped within 5 feet, and pulled the jack from where it was positioned under the main engine crossmember. Luckily it looked like the jack hadn't shifted or caused any damage, but now my...

So I went to swap my ATF and found what seemed to be the obvious drain plug, but when I started turning the bolt just spun with resistance in place. Not sure if I have this wrong but from pictures this looks to be the right bolt. My immediate thought was that it was some sort of manual spin for...

Hi all, I'm new to the Delica Forum and Delica ownership altogether, but I recently swapped out the stereo with a Pioneer MVH1400NEX and lost illumination in my gauge cluster. From what I saw on L300 wiring diagrams, the green//white wire is listed as a mystery wire, which I ended up connecting...
