    New Member Intro/ Registration question/ Colorado

    Don't do the EGR delete yet, as there's a small chance they will want to see the EGR in place during an inspection. As I recall, I had to go to the CDPHE Technical Center in southwest Denver, so they could generate a test standard. I needed this when I went to a diesel testing center, as they...

    Where did you go for VIN verification? I know I started at a CSP station, and I'm pretty sure that I got it done there.

    New Member Intro/ Registration question/ Colorado

    Welcome! I had to navigate the emissions process since I lived on the front range. It was not 100% smooth but I got it done.

    L300 Owner-to-be from Colorado

    Congrats on the purchase! I had my 5-speed in Denver for a couple of winters, so I'm pretty familiar with that climb. DEFINITELY get the injection pump tuned and an EGT gauge installed... ideally one that includes a programmable audio alert of some sort. Also I recommend a boost controller of...

    Wet Footwells after re-sealed..

    Mine looked like that, too, but because this thing needs all the sound deadening it has, I sprayed mine with a little bleach to knock down any mold that might be in there, and sealed it back up.

    Wet Footwells after re-sealed..

    Same story here. Turns out there was a rusted spot hiding under the upper edge of rubber windshield seal. I cleaned out the loose rust as best I could, then squirted a ton of silicone sealant under the seal. Probably not an approved body shop repair, but it stopped the leak.

    Too good to be true; the seller cancelled the order. :/ The search resumes.

    I suspect they just used a stock photo. I pulled the trigger, and apparently I got the last one, as that same link says it's no longer available! Unless that's just some Amazon inventory shenanigans happening.

    I might have found Bilstein rears in-stock on Amazon.de. Any reason I shouldn't pull the trigger on these? (Besides the €50 shipping!) https://www.amazon.de/-/en/24-014670-Bilstein-Shock-Absorber/dp/B0068O3GVM

    What makes cold-weather diesel starting easier, warm oil or warm fuel?

    Good info, guys, I think my glow plugs are in good shape, and I have a timer bypass installed as well. Perhaps I'm just too impatient and expecting it to fire right up like a modern gasoline engine. How long is too long to crank the starter, before I risk burning it out? Both batteries are new, btw.

    What makes cold-weather diesel starting easier, warm oil or warm fuel?

    My '91's 4D56 fires right up when it's above freezing, but when it's well below that (such as we get in the Colorado high country), it takes quite a lot of cranking, and a few failed tries before it runs. I know oil pan heaters are popular, but something in my gut tells me it's more of a fuel...

    Sweet! I live mostly in Denver but rent a place up in Summit. It's a slow climb up the hill, but so fun once I get there!

    I've got my grey carpet from my 91 Exceed, since I put in hard surface flooring. Still need it?
