    Steering shaft too short and looks sketchy. Trying to find solution.

    Correct, sorry if I wasn't clear. I was on my phone running out the door. BJ spacers, allow for a little bit of added travel. To further expand on that, I know you know SK, but for the others… If we were to crank the torsion bars to get the lift, we would very quickly make contact between the...

    What is Delica's model?

    The Chassis number is not going to give you the trim in EPC Data. Unless someone has a way to reference the data provided EPC-Data. On the plate in the van, you will see "Model" and "Chassis number". You want "Model". What you provided is "chassis number" P35W-ABCDEF You want to reference the...

    Steering shaft too short and looks sketchy. Trying to find solution.

    A spacer kit is a legit kit, in fact if you want a lift it’s a much better way to go. The ride quality is much better as your suspension travel while on the road has equal travel up and down. A ball joint spacer lift maxes out or close to maxes out your front travel while at ride height...

    Steering shaft too short and looks sketchy. Trying to find solution.

    This is the length of the steering shaft used on my 2” lift from dreamworks/t3. The subframe spacers are 50cm tall. They along with Delicaworks sell their kits with extended shafts. Mine was double jointed and shred in two. In a pinch we had to cut a stock one up and use the lower half to...

    The Fail Thread

    As a backyard mechanic, admittedly a mediocre one, I was thinking about all the wrenching that I've done over the years, all the extra nuts and bolts I've been left with, and all the things I've had to do at least twice before getting it correct. In the moment this can feel like time wasted...

    What is Delica's model?

    https://delicaforum.com/index.php?threads/l300-chassis-number-decoder.1224/ Pay attention to #4 Based on my observations of the interiors this is how I would generally classify what you get with each model. This isn't 100% just sort of anecdotal. Chamonix/Jasper - Logo Embroidered into seats...

    What is Delica's model?

    I knew from the response who this was without even looking at the screen name. Does that mean we spend too much time here or just the right amount of time here?

    Transmission cooler

    @The Tick off topic...your steering shaft doesn't look stock, pretty beefy looking. I shred the one that came with my lift and had to rebuild it. Interested in what you have going on with yours.

    Another AC Thread

    Per the Manual MAGNETIC CLUTCH (1) Disconnect the wiring to the magnetic clutch. (2) Connect battery (- ) to compressor body. (3) Connect battery (+) voltage directly to the wiring for the magnetic clutch. (4) If the magnetic clutch is normal, there will be a "click". If the pulley and...

    L300 Shocks Options

    There's a bit of messing around with Fox to make them work. For stock, there might be a fitment. For a lift, you cannot just be using a ball joint spacer kit. Compressed, the shocks are too long to fit between the shock mount and the lower control arm. You need to do the full body lift to open...

    leaf spring swap

    Hey Cody, I’m sure you can remove a leaf from the pack. However, my experience in doing that with the Iron Man I kind of wouldn’t say that’s the best idea. it will change the load rating differently depending on which leaf you pull and if you’re goofing around off road and getting a little...

    Cold start issues?

    sorry for the short answer on this but you’re going to want to look into your glow plugs and make sure those are functioning correctly. A really quick test is tocycle them once and see how quickly they click over. if they click on and off almost immediately then you have a problem. Otherwise...

    Tie rods and front wheel bearings

    I got in a van recently with new OEM shocks and was very surprised how good they felt. For street use, I think you'll be happy with the KYB. Head to eBay search and search Koyo LM102949/10 Koyo was the stock bearing I pulled out of the hub. Regardless of manufacturer this is the part#/bearing...

    Flying to Japan. Looking for parts

    Noooo....so you had it shipped and missed it or there just wasn't going to be enough time?

    Apparently Delica's are a challenge to insure - who do you insure with in the USA?!?

    What damage did you incur offroad that they agreed to cover?
