Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

just a mini update after i shimmied the RTT back a few inches to add a thule box infront. it barely fit with enough room in between to open the zipper and get access to open the thule box (which i got for 80 bucks). it's looking like my mileage has returned to normal too! http://i8.photobucket.com/a...

just wanted to share these awning pics now that i found some time to finally get it on. tried it on our delica while i was setting up our thule stuff to carry more stuff and our paddle board. pretty straight forward. the bracket is adjustable along the channel in the back of the awning/frame. just s...

same to you Nick! i was watchin the hobbit when you texted, lol.
cheers.

so i was a little concerned about the copper numbers. i inquired and here's the response i got: "Usually Copper shows up Diesel Engine's oil due to leeching of the oil cooler. Rise of the lead content along with copper content points in that direction. We see this trend in almost all CAT Diesel...

oh yeah, and make SURE they fill that large filter with oil before spinning it on! i think it takes about a litre of oil, if not more..

My stop leak refill cycle seems to be in spring and fall so was never too concerned with the thickness, might be an issue in winter if it gets too cold and molasses like. If its cold I would maybe cut it with more fuel in the tank 1/4 to 1/3 full instead of 1/8 to 1/4. Here is the post that turned ...

...spoke to a tech rep at bardahl and explained my situation and shared the talks on the stop leak in the diesel tank. i asked about the two products i posted and it was mentioned that the stop leak/no smoke (thicker stuff) would have more seal puffing qualities than the stop leak/black bottle is th...

very cool, thanks for the info and link guys. my hdj81 has been leaking for a while now, mild smoke at start up and goes away after warm up....thinkin of givin this a try. guess nobody knows what the ultimate mix ratio is... curious to see what happens to the diesel in say a glass jar with this stuf...

so lemme get this straight, you guys are using the stop leak stuff that's supposed to go in the crankcase with the oil, in the fuel tank? hmm, i have an extra container of bardhal engine stop leak..it's THICK so dump this in my diesel tank? http://www.bardahl.com/products/oil-additives/no-smoke-stop...

i guess you can use whatever the diesel land cruisers, hiluxes, terranos, monteros, and l200 stradas there are using..?

thanks Tony. fun stuff. if/when i do another, i will definitely remember to post the lab results (maybe i'll do one at 163K kms or 13K kms after oil change with before filter change, and another at 175K kms...then at 200K kms, fingers crossed the l400 keeps chuggin away). was a little worried about ...

just another update on oil anaysis after 140K kms (5K kms after bypass filter change midway) and at 150K kms when the oil was dropped and bypass/oem filters replaced (30K km interval). note's from the lab: " Please find enclosed the analysis report for the oil samples from 1995 Mitsubishi Delic...

i got an extra set of gutter mounts and load bars for the l400 (initially for hauling our 12' paddle board). there's an 11" thule guttermount that works i believe. the 400 is quite tall and a bit of a climb, but i understand it's doable for this set up.

so, finally got the chance to spend at least one night in the RTT. took my son to a prov. park this weekend and did a little cold weather camping! got to our spot, not much campers around which was nice and started settin it up for the first time. undo 2 main cover straps, unzip cover http://i8.phot...

thanks fellas! yep, not just tepui, but hannibal, titan, arb, mombasa, gordigear..and a few more :) the main difference is the materials used, some use 200g or 250g fabric, these have 300g fabric. a fellow delica owner here picked onup from andy and was able to compare it to an arb...according to th...
