    L400 long range fuel tank.

    Wish I could give input on the engineer nerd banter above, BUT I too am very interested in a long range fuel tank for my L400 gasser once all the specs are figured out! If there are other OR/WA folks who want one as well I'd be happy to use my Portland address for a group order to reduce...

    Wheel Alignment in Portland area?

    I tried making 3 alignment appointments with different Les Schwabs in Portland and none of them said they would do it, even if I provided the specs. I got my alignment done @ Industrial Tire Service off of NE Killingsworth, which is Dean's recommended alignment spot in town. Also had them...

    Inclinometer blah blah blah

    Sadly it starting leaking about 2 weeks into it... it barely smelled though. I've owned this Deli for over a year now, and well... I understand why people eventually swap them out for USB ports. I knew it was useless before, but I wanted to preserve it for novelty's sake. I won't try fixing it...

    In search of L400 v6 Alt Belt Tensioner

    Dean's in Portland discovered that my alt belt tensioner was bent - It's been replaced by a generic bolt, but it's been squeaking a lot since the switch, so I'm looking to replace the original part. Any leads?

    JAOS Mudflaps?

    Hiya - They're 14in, not sure how wide the M versions are, but there's definitely an excess of space on mine. The original mudflaps that came with my van were the same width as the large though. I traced the holes from the old flaps on to the new ones and they overlapped each other perfectly..

    L400 Aircon Fan Issue - Buzzing sound

    While waiting at a red light last night, a very loud buzzing sound started coming from what sounded like the engine and it lasted 5-10 seconds. It stopped, and then started again without prompt. I went to turn the air on, and the buzzing started again, so I quickly disengaged the air until...

    JAOS Mudflaps?

    The new ones came with fresh bolts, nuts, washers, screws, and the loop bits which hold the cord that pulls the flaps back.. but it didn't come with the metal brackets that help to brace and stabilize the back ends. The new ones also came with a nylon strap that is meant to pull them back like...

    L400 V6 Oil Change

    Any L400 V6 owners have success with getting an oil change from a standard Jiffy lube or Valvoline? I've had mine serviced at a shop in Portland the last few times, but they're not responsive and I have a trip coming up shortly: looking for other options! Also, I've seen detailed, step-by-step...

    Did you paint over any decals? I have a few decals that I’m reluctant to paint over, and haven’t seen any examples of folks that painted around the decals..
