    Reputable supplier of starters for L400 4m40?

    I need a starter for my 1996 L400 (4M40). Can I trust the ones of Ebay or is there a better dealer? I’m going to have my current starter repaired if possible, leaving me with a spare. Ideas? I just received a radiator from Ebay so im cautiously optimistic.

    L400 fuel filter replacement questions; or, why does Mitsubishi hate us?

My van is a '96 L400 Exceed, and its got a dual battery setup that looks stock. I was able to get the batteries out without removing the intercooler, and I had hoped that the...
