Once the exhaust manifold gasket and head gasket are replaced, Matilda should run much smoother. She’s a little shaken right now with leaks from both. Can anyone tell me if the measurement of pressures etc should be on a cold engine or a warm one? I speak a little Japanese, but don’t read any at...

Snorkel and new wheels. Exhaust is next.

I have been using Rotella T5 15w40 since I bought Matilda. Thus far it seems to have been a good choice for the 4D56. I was shocked by the price increase when I went to look for oil today however. I usually buy several gallons so it lasts a few changes this I haven’t bought any oil in a while...

Delibros, A friend in my neighborhood bought a 92 L300 that is in Puyallup, WA. He’s flying out from VA to bring it back but it needs work. Anybody know a shop in that area that can go through it, replace a blown tire, etc? Any steer would be appreciated. Noogie

Deli-bros, I put new shoes on Matilda today. The place was unable to do an alignment or alignment check because they didn’t have the “settings or specs. Matilda is a 1991 L300. Any info would be appreciated. I’d hate to tear up brand new tires. Thanks, Noogie

Last night kids with BB guns hit out neighborhood. My left front window is shattered. Where is the best/fastest place to get a replacement? Any help is appreciated.

All of a sudden my '91 L300 2.5L turboD started running consistently hot. Normally, the water temp needle is hanging out in the lower 1/3 of the gauge. Now it is staying in the upper 1/3, closing in on the "ahh crap" line. There is coolant in the radiator and reservoir. What, if anything...

I continue to make incremental upgrades to Matilda. Soon new shocks all around will be required, but first I need some tunes. I have a reasonable head unit, but the speakers are lacking. By lacking I mean 27 year old OEM speakers with sound that you would expect from them... Has anyone done...

Does anyone else have a tachometer that will show a steady rpm and then suddenly hang out at zero, followed by bouncing around randomly? This seems to occur when I put the hammer down (as far as our speed demon can do anyway). I have replaced the sensor. It seems that jiggling the connection...

So it's been raining a bit here in Virginia. Yesterday I noticed that the carpet on the floor near the pedals was wet. Today I noticed that it was much worse. I can't see where it's coming in. Based on another thread, I assume the seam sealer is needed. Can anyone tell me how long of a job that is?

Has anyone added and engine block heater to their diesel? Winter is coming... I’m looking to add one but would appreciate a steer in the right direction if anyone out there has done it already.

Has anyone out there had their horn start and continue beeping all on it's own? I took the rubber cover off and it finally stopped blaring. I would, however, like to put the cover back on at some point. Any ideas out there?

Hello, all. I fell in love with Delicas when I was in Japan. I am now the proud new owner of a 1991 Exceed. A fun short road trip from DelicaUSA in Philly to Norfolk yesterday. We got a lot of waves/thumbs up along the way. The guys at Mendel's were great.
