    Unpleasant growl at low RPM (turbo)

    This is the 94 2.8 intercooled turbo diesel. I have uploaded a short YouTube video (link below) so you can get an idea what it sounds like, but basically the right side of the engine (my old mechanic was confident it was the turbo compressor) growls consistently between 1000 and 1500 rpm. Above...

    Hey there! I am looking to get a side dump exhaust, either fabbed up at a local muffler shop or from delicaworks. A buddy of mine mentioned that with side dump exhausts, when doing highway driving or anything above 2k rpm for an extended period of time there is a droning sound. Has anyone...

    Hi All, Removed and tossed the EGR valve on the D4BF I installed back in CA. Now I am registering in Nevada and think I need to pass a visual inspection, so looking for an EGR valve to put back on. Anyone got one laying around? Much appreciated.

    Diesel and Gas tanks interchangeable?

    Sorry if this is already posted somewhere, I couldn't find anything in the search. My gas L400 needs a new gas tank and they're pretty expensive, but I've found a pretty reasonable priced used tank out of a diesel L400. Are they different in any way? I've never worked on any diesels and don't...

    Any Diesel Heater Recommendations

    Last night temperatures got to -35°C and this morning when I went out to start the Delica it wouldn't start. Seeing as we are only just in the first half of Winter I'm thinking I definitely need a solution to this. It's been close a few times but this is the first time it's actually failed to...

    I’m dire need of a 4D56

    I ended up throwing a rod on my way back home on a cross country trip. As it stands she’s stuck in a shop in Nebraska. I thought about upgrading with the newer Huyndai engine. However the mechanics are hesitant on installing the same thing but a little different (even though I explained it’s the...
