Spot on luchaDor,
The really good news is that for many Asian market vehicles 25 years isnt such a big problem. I bought my Delica with about 80k miles on it, compared to a NA market van like a VW that's amazingly low (but high for most from Japan). Parts so far have been easier to come by than...
Yeah, as a driver of a formerly banned Mitsubishi I'd love to see some of these rigs make it to NA before their old as dirt. That said, I don't believe that this is the best way to change either the law or the regulations preventing many of these vehicles from making it here.
Let's start by...
Start by grabbing a magnet and see if you can magnetize the debris. Oxidized metal can accumulate and adhere to carbon build up. I like to put the magnet on the side of the filter before I pull it off, this way anything inside the filter is trapped even after the oil is evacuated.
Morning folks,
I got the ball rolling for an island meet-up this up-coming February 17th. I'd like to invite you to come out to Vashon Island for coffee and then a tour around one of the Pacific Northwest's most scenic spots.
Itinerary:
~10:00 AM - Meet and park at The Vashon Island Coffee...
Okay, the EGR delete is done. It's a time-consuming thing, but not too difficult to make happen.
1) Remove driver's side seat.
2) Remove turbo bay cover
3) Remove air intake channel (including steel middle with 2x 12mm bolts)
4) Unplug all vacuum tubes
5) Detach two 12mm bolts from top of EGR...
It's especially rainy today, but the materials I bought to complete an EGR delete showed up late yesterday afternoon, so I'm going to look for a break in the downpour and hope for the best. Maybe tidy up the garage in the meantime.
Yeah, I do plan on removing the EGR on my 4D56t. I have a...
Spent a bunch of time in guts today. I've made a decision to delete the EGR so some of that was poking around to size that project. Plus, I cleaned the top of the head and the area around the turbo since there's a crap load of oily gunk around there.
Finally, answered a question that's been...
Not me, but yeah I've seen the guy. He likes to climb in Frenchman's Coulee. I believe he's got a 1990 Super Exceed with Crystal Lite roof, but I could be wrong. Mine is a hardtop Chamonix.
This next big question: what to do about the spare?
The Problem: I bumped tire size to a respectable 30.5" diameter, which the van accommodates admirably, however I can no longer mount the spare in the rear cage located behind the rear axle. I can cram the wheel and tire in the cage, but the...
Between 1986 and 1989 MMC sold in the USA a gas powered version of this rig called the Mitsubishi "Van." Mine currently has a 1989 windshield replacement seated in the front seal. It's an earlier generation than the L300s than mine. The bull bar extends about an inch and a half in front of the...
So, yeah, the best thing I could have put on this van turns out to be those BFG A/T KO2s. Quieter ride, no lift needed for that size (and I believe that my forward wheel wells are possibly more cluttered than yours), and about 2" of additional clearance relative to the tires that came on it from...
You're good to go IMO. Just understand the limitations of your vehicle before you find your self hopelessly stuck or floating out of control. That rule applies to everyone.
