Big bouquet for rising sun

Thru the whole purchasing process of my new 97 L400 (which went on for several months), Steven was informative, and very prompt about returning calls or emails. And when I got into an accident within 45 fing minutes of leaving the shop, Steven went above and beyond helping me understand what would b...

Re: Rant

I wish we could "like" posts like the above, like we can on facebook. 8-) Friendly warning: I mentioned that idea to Falco a while back and he pulled out a huge bowie knife and said I should 'shut up with that thar fancy talking' if I wanted to remain a Sears catalogue model. Don't take t...

Back for more.

Well, I've finally bit the bullet and decided to purchase my 2nd Deli. First one was a L300 super exceed that my wife refused to drive, so we sold. Now that she's stuck with a domestic minivan (sucker), daddy gets his mid life crisis van. http://www.delica.ca/trader/index.php?l400_spacegear/1059_199...

Re: EGR delete a bad idea?

My cylinderhead had cracked with EGR open... Nothing blanked off... When I finally blanked it after getting a new head installed, it went better, faster and appeared to not go anywhere near the temps prior (but I also put a bigger diameter, shorter and less restrictive exhaust on and put a new rad,...

Re: L 400 towing

Thanks all. I will look into getting a pyro, altho as I'm a flatlander, it won't be as much of a concern.
I just need a vehicle that can tow the kids and the tent trailer. Using my xterra now, but sure do want the L400 for my mid life crisis vehicle (as I can't afford anything else).

Cheers.

L 400 towing

Hey all, I know it has been discussed to death, but is it common concencus that the 2.8 td on the L400 should be able to tow a 3500 lbs tent trailer? I have a deposit on a L400 super exceed coming in thru rising sun, and the towing issue will be a deal breaker. And not to sound like a complete idiot...

Re: 92 L300 Super Exceed for sale in Edson AB $8500.00

I know. I've never posted pix before. I knew something was up when my computer almost froze for a couple min after i hit submit. does anyone know if I just have to resize, or is it a format issue?
On the plus side, potential buyers can see the van in amazing detail.
Cheers.

Re: Squealing from Rad/vent fan?

Hey, thanks for the replies. Sorry I'm so late getting back, fire season is going a little long this year. I did try the fresh/recirc. with no luck, and I don't think it would be a belt if it only happens above 80km, or in strong wind. I'm going to try tapeing my lights this week end to see if that'...

Squealing from Rad/vent fan?

Hey. I get a squraling sound coming from either my radiator or vent fan whenever I'm at hiway speed, and recently even if there is a strong wind. Adjusting the vent fan speed has no effect, and it dosen't seem to have any affect on the amount of air coming thru the vents. Does anyone have any ideas?...

Re: The next meet?

Fire season offically stars April 1st, but I probably won't be flying until end of April, or beginnig of May (although fires tend to dictate when they'll burn, not me). The biggist limiting factor will probably be my wife telling me if I'm allowed to go or not. Diapers apparently won't change themse...

Re: How's the Delica so far in this Calgary weather?

Nope, I'ts not just Calgary. It seems that every municipalty in alberta thinks that If you don't own a jacked up 4X4, then you deserve what you get on the roads. I spent 1/2 hr yesterday helping my neighbours push their cars onto the street, and try and get enough momentum going to actually be able ...

Re: How's the Delica so far in this Calgary weather?

Hey. I just bought a Deli and drove from Vic to Edson AB. It was a learning experiance. For instance, I didn't know that the standard antifreeze in vehicles in Victoria is only rated to 0 degrees. Not so good when parking your van overnight in Kamloops (-25 with windchill). I also didn't know that t...
