    Rear Heater L300 help

    The fan quit working in the rear. Dash light and rear fan light still come on. I can hear a relay under the dash when the fan switch is toggled on and off. I'm wondering if there is a fuse at the blower motor accessed from the underside of the van. Any expertise with the rear heater would be...

    Where do these wires go?

    I'm still trying to find the source of my power drain. Disconnecting the fusible link for the light circuit at the battery stops the power drain. In the process of chasing wires and cleaning connectors, I found these mystery wires. Can anyone tell me where these used to go? They run up above...

    What's going on here? (Possible alternator issue)

    I'm not sure if this is relevant, but two nights ago I left the ignition key on all night. The next morning, the engine started fine and no issues detected. Yesterday, taking a drive, the dash light/headlight circuit quit working. I had this problem before caused by poorly wired marker lights...

    New D4BF install

    Just got my Deli back from an engine swap done at Dean's Car Care in Portland. What a great little engine! Everything is working perfectly. Drove it home from PDX to Bandon, yesterday (300mi). Dean gave me a PDF, in answer to my question I had about breaking in a new diesel, that I think is a...

    Looking for used Turbo

    Hi all, I'm looking for a good operating used Turbo. I need one to get me by until I can purchase a new D4BF. If anyone has one for sale or knows of a source of inexpensive new/used, please PM me. I know Coombs has used turbos for $350. Thanks

    Ash tray delete...home for new EGT gauge.

    I finally got rid of the ash tray to use the space for my new EGT gauge. Did a bit of fabricating with some printed circuit board material. The PCB is double sided with copper foil, so soldered mounting tabs to the back. Cut the opening to mount the gauge. Measure three or four...

    What Did You Do for Your Van Today?

    Had a beautiful day here and no distractions, so I decided to tackle the EGR delete. I had drilled and tapped the exhaust blanking plate last week, so was waiting for the weather to clear up. I haven't done much wrenching in a long time, but it all went pretty smooth. The exhaust studs had to...

    Side Canopy Design

    I'm designing a canopy to cover the slider out from the gutter and down to the ground on three sides. I've seen some commercially produced tent structures, but none that really fit the van. I have the material sourced and now need some ideas for the support structure. Any suggestions?

    What did you do with your van today?

    Took Mitsi with my ham radio setup to a hilltop on Saturday. I named the spot Rooster Lookout. The area was logged last year and there was a big white rooster living there. No idea how he got there...the nearest house is several miles away. Great antenna trajectory to the East. Worked 13 states...

    I'm looking for some wisdom on how to troubleshoot the #3 circuit on the fuse block. 15A fuse blows within one second of turning on headlights. The circuit runs tail lights - dash lights - marker lights - parking lights and horn. I've spent the afternoon looking for any suspicious wiring. The...

    Hello from Bandon, OR

    We found a 1992 Starwagon, one week ago. It needs some work, but generally it's in good shape. I have some body rust to take care of, but there's nothing too severe. The rig is pretty dirty inside and will take a while to clean out years of smoking. I also have some wiring issues to address, but...
