  1. This stay at home ruling by MT governor Steve Bullock can be truly boring AND a bit too crazy for me. Therefore, going out to my shop. Turning on the radio. Going to remove the factory running boards, mud flaps and fender flares. Then commence to sanding all plus the lower part of each side in preparation to coat with truck bed coating. Does it need this? NO. Do I want this? Yes. Need has nothing to do with want. I want it this way to defend against rock chips, cow crap, mud and various other little gremlins that are throw around when off-roading. Am I nuts???? Yep! But I like the coverage and the way it looks. Have done this to other rigs and has held up great. Who knows what little problems I may come across during this process? Good time to be working on my 2000 Pathfinder. Stay busy and please be safe. Keep your family safe. MTG

  2. When the engine is under high load and very low RPM, knocking is normal. It isn't good for the engine since it is metal on metal contact but a few times generally won't be a problem. At the low rpms, there is low oil pressure and flow. The oil flowing at operating pressure normally keeps all the moving parts floating so they don't make actual contact. When the pressure drops low enough, the moving parts like the crank, rods, pistons, and cams come into contact and it is violent and unhealthy. That is why most engine wear happens on cold starts.

  3. Takes a surprisingly long time to purge the air out of the fuel rails when injectors get replaced. Takes forever it seems like when on a modern returnless system. Glad it is happy now, good luck with the pump, be gentle with it. The wires are on the delicate side when over 25 years old and the pump module screws are very soft and easily damaged.

  4. Response to the last few posts. I did some driving around after work today, I can confirm that the ProComp ES9000 is a great shock for a WD21. Smooth and compliant, but still keeps the springs controlled. A great value in my opinion. My rears are a pair of Bilsteins that were from a 2018 Titan Pro4x. Had a pile of new ones that were getting thrown away while I was at the dealership. They were removed from new trucks that got lifted. At the price(free), I and a coworker decided why not give them a try? He put a pair on the back of his lifted 03 Pathfinder and I did the same with my 93. We did have to drill out the bushing eyes to 9/16" to fit over the mounting studs on our trucks and had to grind them a bit thinner, but made them fit. Seems to be working good on the rears of our trucks. The Firestone Destination MT's are priced in the mid range, my 33x12.50 15's come out to about $250 per tire. They have a 3 ply sidewall, unbelievable grip, very good road manners, long life due to a very thick tread 22/32". They are also lighter than most others out there. Look at tire rack reviews, most people who try them, love them. The ones on the rear of my truck have about 2k miles on them of mostly pavement pounding, put them on last summer. My Pathfinder has a LockRight locker in the rear and at least 300 pounds of "stuff" in the back. Looking at the tires, they still look new with no cuts, chunking, or noticable wear on the tread blocks. I run mine at about 28 psi for the street and light wheeling. Haven't been out doing harder stuff for a long time, but when I was in Moab I kept dropping until I was about 8-10 psi. Never had a flat with any of them either, but only had one flat with my Pathfinder in the 21 years I have owned it, and that one was on my first Moab trip where I managed to snag a sidewall, so I guess I am just lucky concerning punctures with my Pathfinder. Try them, I honestly believe you will be happy with them. 21 years with my Path, still no broken door handles somehow, knock on wood...

  6. I would be interested to hear what results you get with them.

  8. Year: 2000 SE 4x4 Lift: none Wheels: 16x8 with 4in backspacing Tires: 32x10.5-16 Notes: these are not my wheels/tire but we trial fitted them to see if i could clear 32s with NO LIFT. the tires clear the struts just fine, but with any more backspacing and the tires will rub. the tires rub the fenders at full compression, but at full lock there's no rubbing on the frame. they barely rub the inner fender on the front side, but that's easily remedied. do note that i have an ARB front bumper which already gives much more clearance than stock. i don't think 32s will fit stock fenders without major trimming.
