    For the mechanical capability of the van, all of the maintenance completed and it's extensive list of useful items included, you bet someone will see the value here. Maybe you cant see it but someone who's looked at all the overlanding market options that are comparable will know what its really worth. ;)

  • @NomadicVanSunValley
    @NomadicVanSunValley4 ай бұрын

    Always keep an eye on engine temps with the l300, but if you boosted it to that level it'll make it run leaner, which with a diesel means LOWER temperatures not higher. So you can do what you did but it won't lead to the power or performance increase you're looking for. Bring it by our shop and we'd be happy to tune it for you. Cheers!

    I love this van. We used to have one, a 2.5L turbo diesel 5 speed manual over 20 years ago when I was a child. Classic memories! I hope to get one of these one day and keep it for a long time. I never even knew that upgrades to their fuel economy and engine reliability existed. Beautiful, just beautiful.

    Thanks for the video! Did mine yesterday. For some reason the previous alternator replacement person used a smaller pivot bolt that was super loose and I think caused a lot of tension and alignment issues. Glad to have that finally solved with the proper bolt size. Good time to do your valve cover gasket while you have the seat and everything out.

  • @NomadicVanSunValley
    @NomadicVanSunValley Жыл бұрын

    The pivot point changes from an 6mm diameter bolt to an 8mm diameter bolt sometime between '92 and 93'. The mounting point on the lower front case is known to wallow-out if the nut isn't secure on the pivot point. Make sure you have a lock-washer or some locktite to ensure a solid hold.
