I want some advice. I get about 18 city and 20 highway. My to-do list is as follows: Swap to manual hubs (currently fixed) Check alignment Check wheel bearings aren't overtightened Anything else? Check IP timing, etc.? Of these, which would make the most difference?

Upon purchase, I suffered from what I thought were loose alternator belts. After tightening, the squeal went away only to return in the last few weeks. The squeal only happens on startup and when accelerating. After a few minutes of idling, the squeal is gone. Is this indicative of the...

Had a diesel tech recommend John Deere coolant conditioner (annually) to prevent corrosion, which seems to be a pretty common problem. If I remember correctly, this was one of the things to be wary of before purchase (avoiding rusty coolant color). Is this a good or bad idea? It was news to me.

I’m not one for excessive preventative maintenance but seeing as overheating is the 4D56’s main enemy, I wanted to make sure we are in good shape. First, I am not sure how accurate my temperature gauge is. Others claim they see it as high as half, but I don’t think I’ve seen ever climb higher...

I decided to flush all the old grease out of the suspension and driveshaft. After perusing the workshop manual I discovered the following diagram. Which suggests the following points: Suspension: 1 steering joint per side 1 lower ball joint per side 1 upper ball joint per side Drivetrain: 2...

Hey guys, Just posting a couple of parts that I would love to find: Double or triple gauge pod Functioning overdrive solenoid Lower transmission bushings (complete mounts would be fine too)

Can anyone tell me which sensor this is? I can't seem to track it down on the schematic. And how is it removed? I would prefer to address the seeping.

After referencing this handy thread, I was left wondering if my leak (or "sweat" as I like to call it) just needed a nice new alloy half-moon and gasket. Is this indicative of such a case? Just want some outside advice before I start tearing things apart! Any chance the oil on the filter is...

My deli came with some dry-rotted Yokohama geolandars. While I love the look of the ATs, most of my driving is on the pavement with the occasional weekend trip. I am contemplating going with all-seasons this time around for the following reasons: 1) Quieter 2) Cheaper 3) Last longer(?) 4) May...

I am in the midst of repairing my cheek seams. I have successfully (after hours of toiling) removed all screws with the exception of the one under the windshield seal. I have a jis driver. No luck. They are severely rusted. Am I able to adequately repair the seams without loosening the top screw?

I have a short antenna that (I think?) was sat in its channel. It has started to come off and has now released the antenna. Should I attempt to glue it or is it a bad idea to attempt given it was attached to the paint? Unfortunately, the antenna is too short to utilize the clip...

Looks like guards are attached to the door behind the weatherstripping. Anyone have experience removing them? I’d rather not damage anything in the process.

Replacing the brake pads today. Do the rotors need to be replaced as well or can I get away with waiting until the next brake pad replacement? I’d rather not have to repack the bearings if I can get away with it.

I am trying to address a few cosmetic issues in my van. Two questions have popped up regarding adhesives. First, is there any sort of plastic epoxy I could use in trying to protect my already cracked monsoon guards? Second, what type of adhesive should I use to reattach this door sill piece?

After purchasing my Delica (with an aftermarket head unit), I presumed there were only speakers in the rear. I have recently discovered there are front speakers and would love to have them functioning. Does anyone have any experience tinkering with the OEM fronts? Are they known to go out...

Has anyone used bug netting or put together screens? I am in the process of designing some curtains but thought that adding bug netting would be beneficial in the southern summers. I wanted to see if anyone has beaten me to it!

DOES NOT ACCOMMODATE AC PULLEY. This came on my 1994 L300 at purchase (the last owner wasn't running AC). I have since replaced it with the proper part and got the AC running. Febest MDS-4D56 Crankshaft Pulley $30 plus shipping (shipped from TN)

Changed the fuel filter this weekend. I bled the lines until only fuel came out. The van runs fine, no loss in power or anything, but cold starts are noticeably rougher. Any ideas?

Hey All, I recently became a 94' L300 owner and have started doing some repairs. The previous owner wasn't running the AC pulley, and as summer approaches here in the South, I figured I better get it running. Unfortunately, this requires removing the crank pulley (I have read all the relevant...
