Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

AC's right. The balance shafts simply make the engine run smoother. Plenty of people run their Astron engines without the balance shafts (there's even a balance shaft delete kit) without issues.

Some people can feel the difference, others can't. I haven't done a back-to-back test, but I swear my...

That V6 was fitted to a huge number of vehicles, including thousands of Chryslers. It's pretty reliable. The common faults I can think of are hydraulic tappets seizing (regular tapping noise from under the valve covers, replacement hydraulic adjusters are cheap and easy to fit) and throttle bodies...

I can find no fault in your analysis- any of those things might have happened, but I'll keep my fingers crossed for the delaminated pulley scenario. A damaged crank is nasty.

You're going to have to pull it apart and see. Take photos of the horror for us!

I bought from Oregon Diesel Imports. I wasn't looking for a company that did the work on them, too. I had a good experience with them.

I am, however, going to try to find a diesel mechanic that'll work on the 4D56.

I had similar issue with my van... the passenger side was working but would be slower than the rest of the doors and eventually it just stopped. The downside is the lock actuator for the driver and passenger doors looks to be a whole unit with the latch mechanism itself. I had the door panels open,...

Just bought a 99 Delica from them a couple weeks ago. Overall I'm happy with the service, they were upfront about all their prices and were able to produce any documents I asked for so nothing too shady going on there. We spent a few days driving around BC then made the drive back to Calgary...

We just bought our Delica from them a couple weeks ago. Can't complain about the service we received, I actually did most of the shopping around from Calgary then flew out to Vancouver to make the final decision. The real seller for me was the fact that they provided a warranty, granted it only...

I religiously keep my rpms below 3000 and have had my delica for over 10 years. Also I add stanadyne lubricity at every fill up because a fuel pump is expensive and low sulfur diesel will ruin it. Sorry got off track on the thread.
Awesome advice!

Very nice. I like the graphics on the side. Enjoy!

Much much too late but here's a quick clip of our Delica now 7yrs in.

The back cover comes off the tailgate easy. A couple of screws and some clips to get to the latch mechanism. It might be just the latch need to be pride up but it sounds like it could be more than that.

That's what I do. Take it off overdrive and the let your rpm's dictate your speed.
Slow and steady.

Coming up pretty quick, anybody else going to join???? It's a very fun relaxed event.

The other thing that can cause a whistle is the 3bolt gasket between the manifold and the turbo, or the manifold gasket itself. Have a look for carbon tracing around the manifold gaskets, when they blow out the gasket acts like the reed in a clarinet making a lovely "WEEEEEEEEEEE" sound...

Looking for the front plastic quarter panels.

The dual-pulley, vacuum-pump 4D56 alternators come in a range of sizes, from the stock 75A up to 120A. The problem I've found is that you can't trust the cheap aftermarket alternators- the ones I've found were advertised as 100 or 120A, when really it's 75A.

In the end I found an actual 90A...

I've moved this thread to the "Radio Communications" forum in Delica Canada Technical.
