Seems to be working fine. It's only been 500 miles though so it's hard to say, but no immediate issues

If multiple paint colors are listed on the VIN plate that just means top half and bottom half right? So for the van below the official colors based on the VIN plate are H52 Chateau Silver and X94 Sable Black, so top and bottom presumably. Or would I have to mix at all to get the right ratio for...

Does anyone know if there's a gasket for the upper radiator hose housing pictured here: And if so, what's the part number for it? If there was something there it's totally oxidized and chipped off during removal (as you can see).

Alternator works right so far. Just needed to adjust the 10mm down to 8 as mentioned above.

Thanks for the help, I'll update when it comes in case anyone runs into this in the future

Recently I had my alternator go out while driving due to an oil leak. Unfortunately I'm on vacation in a place without a shop familiar in Delicas, but I took to a well-reviewed local diesel mechanic who said that the leak was coming from the alternator seals and had soaked through the...

My delica has having some issues cranking in cold weather. I started it fine, drove for 10 minutes, parked for 15, and when i came back the starter cranked for all of 3 seconds before completely going dead. It now only clicks once and the engine won’t turn over at all when turning the ignition...

In case anyone sees this and is curious the rising sun l300 hitch does seem to fit 1991 and earlier models, even if they specify 1992+ in their shipping info

Based on the wording it seemed like Geico

Does anyone know if the L300 FTS hitch fits 1991 and older versions? The shipping info from Rising Sun mentioned 1992+, which I didn't realize when I bought it. But some people on this forum have mentioned installing the FTS hitch to older models of the L300.

Also made the roof-vent plunge today but with the Maxxair fan. All I can say is that it somehow turned out ok, but based on my lap sealant applying skills I should probably never be a cake decorator

I bought it second-hand from someone in Oregon. He mentioned a bunch of stuff about the engine re-built and had a bunch of documentation for just about everything, but there was nothing about the turbo. They also bought it second-hand from someone before me so maybe it was from them? Hard to say

Newbie Delica owner here (2 weeks), trying to learn more about diesel engines and turbo but not super well-versed yet. Anyway, I was driving on the interstate when all of the sudden it started to make a loud "whooshing" sound and just generally being louder than normal even when running at lower...
