The thread's moved swiftly from importing to diesel mechanics in Portland, so it's fine here. Just keep it updated with your results!

Thanks Growler!

Did you check oregondieselimports.com? Yea, I've gone up there and test drove a Delica. Im not a big fan of what they have in stock, plus they don't really do much work on their Delicas once they get em. For the most part they just get em in and sell em. I'm certainly not saying there's anything wr...

Hi guys. This post may be better suited in the IMPORT section. I trust a mod will move it if that's the case. Well I thought I had an importer here in Portland, OR but I was wrong. I had a very discouraging conversation with the guy yesterday on the phone, basically got the impression he wasn't inte...

If you have an automatic turn overdrive off when you're climbing. I try to keep it around 60km/h uphill and hang with the semi trailers. It keeps my turbo from glowing red hot... Thanks buddy! I will do that next time. See Rusty everyone here wants to help! [emoji41] Thanks NewDelica91! I appreciat...

That's helps. I knew there was a little more to it then just pushing the gas pedal and hope for the b...

Mostly the gearbox will choose the best gear itself. "Automatically", you could say. If it's having trouble deciding (shifting up and down too often) or you just feel more revs would be better, you can push the "overdrive" switch on the selector which disables 4th gear and force...

Understood. Thanks man

I've read a ton about how when going up hills in a five speed it's best to put it in second gear so the revs stay high. But what about with an automatic? How do you make sure the revs stay high? Hope this isn't a silly question :)

No worries Rusty! The Delica is an amazing vehicle! This forum has been so helpful as well. If you have a question feel free to ask everyone here has been where you are currently and they can help you like they have me and all the other newbies and old timers alike lol! NewDelica91, do you own an a...

Hey thanks NewDelica91! This info helps a ton! And really, it's exactly what I wanted to hear ;)

I actually just test drove a Delica over at Oregon Diesel imports up on 82nd last weekend. It was a blast to drive. Like driving a small funky bus :-D FYI, this is where I bought my Delica about a month ago. Had a great experience with them. Yea, Crankshaft. They seem like great people over there. ...

Hello folks. I'm a prospective Delica owner in the States, very close to pulling the trigger on importing an L300 auto. I have a question about driving up hills and keeping the rpm's high, or at the right place. I understand that while driving a Deli up a good size hill with a 5 speed it's best for ...

I think they were introduced in mid 1991. I had a 1991 that was early 91 and installed them myself. I bought them from a delica being parted out. The bottom attachment is easy it's the shoulder roof bolt that's a bit of a pain. Thanks helibrian :) I appreciate the response. It helps. So you just si...

Hello all. I'm working on putting together my list of requirements for a Delica L300 Super Exceed I'll be bringing into the states pretty soon. One requirement I have is a shoulder harness seat belt for the captains chairs. I've read they generally only have lap seat belts, but late 1992 models came...
