Awesome Weedmobile!
Enjoyed the pictures also.
Sometimes you've got to crash into your van just to remind it who's boss

So, it turns out diesels stop running right when the inlet to the injection pump looks like this:

So I called upon Japan (and Latvia) to deliver me the replacement parts:

I also took the opportunity to change the gear oil in the trans and rear end, which was the OG stuff from 1994. Gross.
Fuel mileage is way up with the fuel delivery system sorted, which is nice.
And I had a home for it built, along with a concrete driveway pour:

It's been fun driving around this summer, but a two-ton van with 83 horsepower and a 4.64 rear end is absolutely garbage at freeway travel. I think next summer it'll be time to find another car to fill the garage with, one that has the legs for Interstate travel. Then I can keep the van for around-town trips.
