    Can't Beat an L400 High Roof spoiler!

    I still have I still have it. It needs some fiberglass repair on the one or maybe both ends. I do not have any hardware. I'm inclined to keep it, but PM me with an offer if you want. The part is in Austin, TX.

    turbo controller overboosting

    I installed a boost gauge a few weeks ago. It is tee'd into the hose going to the IP. It works as expected. Boost has registered 9-10 psi max. I recently installed a Turbosmart manual boost controller. I put it inline with the hose going to the wastegate, with the arrow pointing toward the...

    Can't Beat an L400 High Roof spoiler!

    Did they make them for the L300? My L300 came with a spoiler in rough shape, but I couldn't tell if it had been installed or was a part from a different van. Edit: Added pics held up to my 93 l300 Any idea on how it attaches? I either drill holes in the hatch or have some sort of clip. Ideas?

    Front Runner Outfitters Roof Rack

    Such kind words! I’ve put a lot of work into fixing rust and terrible old body repair. The trim work was all removed, cleaned and painted; that made a big difference. I think I’ve used 4 different brands/shades of white on it. The picture kind of blurs it all together. I want to repaint it...

    Runaway idle 4D56 diesel

    I haven’t made any adjustments yet. I have not been driving the van much and have not had the problem present itself again. I want to take a look at the IP while it’s happening. There is a safety wire around the adjuster so I don’t think anyone messed with it while in the van. When I got it the...

    Runaway idle 4D56 diesel

    Bump. Anyone have insight on this? The idle is usually very stable, but this has happened a couple of times driving around town in hot weather (90s). Probably unrelated, but my horn has started honking erratically. I pulled the number 3 fuse to stop it. I don’t know if this effected the idle...

    Runaway idle 4D56 diesel

    Saga begins with cooling system, timing belts, and oil seals in TX. See previous Post. I drove up to MN on easy highways and farm roads. Hit 70 a few times. My coolant temp gauge never went above half. Keeping EGT below 600C. On my way back to TX I headed west to SD and after a few days of...

    Front Runner Outfitters Roof Rack

    I have the above front runner rack with the awning. It’s very nice. I have had high quality powder coated steel roof racks on other vehicles and am very happy with this aluminum rack. I don’t expect much maintenance with it. Even the supplied hardware is nice.

    overheated L300 diesel - what to replace?, ran fine after...

    Update: All the work paid off; the Delica made it from Austin, TX to Minnesota without issue. I didn't push hard; I tried to keep it between 60-65. This is right at 3k rpm in 5th. Most of the drive is pretty flat, nothing like what a lot of you are driving over in the West. It was 100F...

    Wet Footwells after re-sealed..

    My drivers side floor had a quarter size rubber grommet that was dry and leaking when I drove on wet roads. Replacing it took care of my wet floor after the cheeks were sealed.

    4D56 balance shaft end play

    I pulled the balance shaft seals and bushings to replace them. The upper shaft has about 0.2" (5mm) of end play (without seal, bushing,pulley,bolt). The lower balance shaft has no endplay. What is normal? Are here other specs I could check at this level of disassembly? I did the crank...

    Upper Control Arm Upgrade

    I bought complete upper control arms from Rock Auto for $100 each. They looked to be exactly the same as the originals and they have been working fine. I read about people pain replacing the bushings and this was the easy way. These are meant for a 1990 Mitsu Van 2.4L L4. The link for the...

    overheated L300 diesel - what to replace?, ran fine after...

    It's definitely a problem that I had to add coolant, but did I overheat because of a leak or did it leak out because it overheated... After the overheat event I had to replace 3 liters + half the overflow tank. I did not loose any discernable amount of coolant on the 50 mile (55mph highway and...
