Exactly like this! Although I can't make it this time... or the next 3 months, hahaha. I guess the second weekend of every month is popular! Represent!!

Anyone have ideas for another meetup? Or coordinating meeting at another existing event like Cars n Coffee er sumthin? I'm still free Father's Day... In other news, picked up a boost controller today. We'll see if I get around to a proper tune like's documented here, Tutorial: tuning the...

Hello! I was considering hitting dragon days this September in Lake Geneva; 50 years of Dungeons and Dragons! https://www.dragondays.org/ But maybe you can suggest a better time or area around there. Cheers

Hello from Minnesota! Always ready to hang with more van peeps. What time you coming through MN? I usually camp up north when it starts to get hot around here, or just camp on water anywhere to help cut the heat. Double points for the driftless area in southern MN where the mosquitoes and other...

Made it! Van did great towing back n forth the 600 miles each way. We did all 600 in one day on the day back; about 12 hours on the road with limited stops. A few notes: I drove essentially by EGTs at highway speeds; it would cruise at 55mph around 3250rpm and 900-1000F EGT on flat, and EGT...

I've been posting up some info in a towing thread here; check it out! Towing Capacity But based on my very short trip, it tows great! Its still a tall van and I won't go over 55ish mph in 4th gear, but the actual handling characteristics and power appear to be more than adequate. I have a 1200...

Thanks everyone for coming out, and thanks @I_Are_Brown_Bear for the pics! I'm booked up most of next month already, but maybe another meetup in June. June 2? Or June 16, Father's Day? I'm down to coordinate meeting up a larger event like cars n coffee or whatever as well. Cheers

Its a 5 speed manual. Stock tune; haven't touched the boost or fuel or anything. The fuel injector was replaced by previous owner and setup by Northeast auto imports. Seems to function just fine. 7 pin has added pins for constant power and to control trailer brakes. So I can charge my trailer's...

Alright, I've been following my plan so far. 91-95 L300 Chamonix and Jasper models: Picked up a 1992 Chamonix (wagon model). Installed Xplormor receiver, and wired everything up on 7 pin connector (still need to find a good place for the plug). Its already fitted with a large capacity...

Time flies when you're having fun! I'll still plan on brining the van out this Sunday, 4/14, although I'm pulling a last minute audible and changing the location to Schaper Park. More shade, still plenty of parking, and the playground should give my kids something more to do, haha. Its very...

We're back on the road! The pedal feels like it has less pressure than I recall, but maybe its the new butter smooth clutch, haha. I was hoping to tow the teardrop on my camping trip this weekend, but now I'm thinking maybe let the clutch break in a few more miles before I start towing. Thanks...

Thanks for confirming what I found!! Never been closer. Should be driving in no time...

I still can't find it, but I found this similar manual for a 4D56 which suggests 98ft lbs. So that's what I'm doing, but post here if I'll need to do this over again!! @Growlerbearnz Cheers

So I thought I was ready to go, but I can't find the flywheel bolt spec anywhere. I promise I looked through all pertinent manuals. Help!

The transmission has been removed! And there appears to be a few chunks of metal in the bellhousing from the clutch bearing. Clutch kit came in from Rising Sun the other day, picked up the flywheel from being resurfaced this morning, and my car buddy is scheduled tomorrow so I can have a pair...

I got the hitch from Xplormor Offroad; I simply messaged them through FB, but you can message them on this forum as well. https://www.facebook.com/xplormoroffroad I know there's a few other options out there, and Steven Lee at Rising Sun has a hitch option too. The Xplormor one seems of good...

Plenty of tools over here, including 2 impact drivers and a floor jack. Although I've never done a clutch, I've done almost everything else on my other cars, hahaha. I got some parts from Rising Sun the other week, so I'm having them quote me this job as well. Super responsive and helpful, so...

This potential clutch failure appears to be a slippery slope of what should be replaced regardless of what actually failed; I'm not made of time and money after all, hahaha. Here's where I'm at assuming the bearing is the culprit. Definitely replace: Clutch disc and release bearing Probably...

Probe camera inbound so I can get a better look, but sure seems like clutch is to blame and not the hydraulics. Thanks for all the replies! I'll take a pic of the slave with and without the pedal pushed in, but it sure seemed to move a lot while I was down there bleeding the clutch. Question...

I'm gonna see if I can borrow a probe/inspection camera to get a better look, but after some further clutch issue digging it unfortunately sounds like the release bearing is a likely culprit (crying face). I started to look for clutches and clutch kits. Parts finder says the clutch is MD742366...
