Hello Delica.ca,

The head on the ol' L300 cracked about a year ago and I'm finally ready to tackle the job. My van is parked uncovered in the backyard, no hydraulic lift or air tools. Grungy backyard mechanic! I'll be doing the updates in real-time so it might take awhile. I'll endeavor to be as...

Hi everyone,

I just got finished installing my new T belt and other bits, everything is reinstalled - but the engine won't fire, it simply cranks. I know the obvious answer is the timing is off (tear it down again, bleh), but if none of the sprockets moved during installation how can that be?...

Rear driveshaft (Automatic).

Last post by Growlerbearnz « Thu Oct 19, 2017 12:15 am

by Growlerbearnz » Thu Oct 19, 2017 12:15 am

Automatic L300s have a splined section in the rear driveshaft that lets the driveshaft change length.

Here's a tip: if the back half of the driveshaft falls out, take care when reattaching it that the universal joints are aligned. If you reinstall it one spline out it'll look ok, and you might...

Murdermittien, unfortunately I don't have an answer for you, but I'm quite content not messing with any of that stuff and just using the switch myself. If Coombs doe re-condtitioned ecu's for 150$ my manual relay cost 20$ and about two hours install

Flex head ratchet wrenches are a time saving godsend. Also, a good utility knife and all the other items mentioned. I carry along a small multi-purpose funnel and some brake cleaner as well.

you have a miss as low rpm now? Withe the lights off this evening start the van up and watch your plugs and plug wires. Look for sparks. This indicates a carbon trace in the wires or plugs causing a short. If there is northing spray brake clean over your intake gasket and any lines or fittings on...

How long do think this swap has taken you from start to finish?

So I got my van last night. While delivering another car to a customer the driver drove mine into a tree.

So apparently the first thing I'm going to need is a replacement windshield. Anyone have a line on one?

Check with your local windshield glass supplier- it should be the same as Mitsubishi Van/Wagon. I believe the glass is identical whether the glass was bonded in or used rubber trim. Rubber trim. Thanks that's where I'll start.

Where's a good place to buy new bulbs? Looking to replace a dead one on my 91 L300. Are they easy to replace yourself?

When adjusting the boost compensator is removing the nut above the diaphragm required or is it just rotating that nut and diaphragm in tandem?

No need to remove that nut when rotating the diaphragm, the whole diaphragm/nut/metal plate/control shaft/cone rotate as one unit:
