  1. Probably are NGK wires. the prevoius owners said they did a "tune up" a few months ago and the 3 plugs that were actually changed and were halfway decent were NGK brand. But thats not saying much. With the other 3 plugs being 2 autolites and 1 boosch im not sure what exactly their tuneup consisted of. Basically they changed what plugs they could do easy, changed wires, and cranked the idle up to compensate for the miss. No tach but when we changed all the plugs she sounds to be idling in park at around 2500 rmp.
  2. Havnt came close to looking at the timing. Ive owned the truck about a month and a half and have been driving it a lil over 2 weeks is all.
  3. Gap was checked and corrected to .032-.035 as specified in the owners manual when i put the plugs in. not sure on brand of wires. il check tomorrow. i do know they are blue. As to the vacuum leak i found one dry rotted hose and replaced it when i did the plugs. it was the one that runs from below to over top of plug 6 in the very back. Thanks to all. it isnt anything that affect the dd ability of the truck just wanna tune it in perfect or as close as possible.
  4. ok. sorry i just dont see why autolites would make it do that. Didnt do it on my xe. just my own experience. but i could be wrong
  5. May i ask what the problem is with autolites? i ran them in my 1994 xe for about a year till i got in the wreck. never had a problem. we run them in almost all of our vehicles. never had much of a problem with them.
  6. They are autolites and advance auto had them listed for the pathfinder so im guessing they are the right heat range. Havnt checked the distrubtor yet or the codes.
  7. Ive got a slight miss/stumble when acclerating from a dead stop in my 94 se. I just changed the spark plugs which took away a major miss i had. 3 different types and only 3 plugs looked even half way decent. I just bought this truck and owner before me changed the wires so they are new. Any ideas on this slight miss i got? Any thoughts are welcome. Thank you.
  8. I did it just to see what she would do. one time on the mud tires. when i first got her and didnt have a gps, i buried the needle goin down a really steap hill on almost bald 31" a/t's. messin around with a friends yota. which couldnt keep up. and im not braver. just dumber. but only 2 times ive ever did that with the pathy
  9. i can personally say a wd21 will reach 101 according to my old gps on a very slight hill. with 31" mud tires. and i had stock exhaust and manifold leak when i did it. no death wobble either. 4k rpms. not too bad id say for a 17 year old truck with a lil 3.0 v6 in her.
  10. is that one or 2 coats on the wheels? thinking mabey little darker for brush guard and light guards
  11. quick questions caddy. how many cans did it take to do all 4 wheels? thinking of doing mine along with my brushguard and taillight guards with it.
  12. I'm not completely sure but i would guess it is your seatbelt alarm. Like i said not completely sure so maybe some gurus will chime in and tell what it is
  13. Im looking for ways to gain HP on the Pathy. Not looking to be the baddest or anyhting just a little more power. Im going to get the CAI kit from ebay and exhuast ran. For the exhuast I plan to run 2" duals with nothing but mabey cats. Would that be good or would it not give anough back pressure? Are there any other add-ons for the wd21 that would give HP gain? Thank You
  14. Guess il be findin a used receiver to mount up front then and get a winch mount for it. Thanks for the help.
  15. Scince im going to start 4x4ing more by my self thought it might be a good idea to have a winch. Ive got a brush guard on my pathy and i was wondering if there was any to modify it to mount a winch to that would be secure for pulling from? If not i guess il get a hitch and put up on the front for it. Thanks
  16. Yea its all comming slowly. Just tell me when ya be there and when will be a good time to hook up and go out on the beach.
  17. If you come down highway 64 you will have plent of opprotunitys to get alchol and I'm pretty sure you can get it in Nags Head. I just wanna lift it for ground clearnancem, only wanna run 32x13 tires anyways.
  18. I'm pretty sure the permit should cover you. Gonaa have to pass on comming to the NOAS ride. I get my liecence tomarrow and dad prob wont let me go that far plus i think if your under 18 you have to have a parent and my dad is working and mom thinks offroading is stupid. She dead againist me lifting my pathy but dad said sure so its happening.
  19. Hey tell me when and if you go and we can meet up and go down to orgen inlet to go out on the beach and fish. My favorite place to go and thing to do when there. If you are around nags head go to mako mike's one night for dinner.
  20. Slaash where did you get get your spacers and how much? Where can i get adapters? Thanks.
  21. Hey I wanna get my tires to stick out around a extra inch. Is wheel spacers the best way to go? Dont wanna get new rims as I like the chromies I got. Any ideas and where to get? Kinda of hoping to put these on once i paint the pathy in the next 2-3 weeks. Thanks.
  22. Lol I hate Duke worse the UNC but I'l prob go to ECU or NCSU. I've found it cheaper on Summit so once I get a check I'm expecting in the next week I'm going to buy the paint and hopefully have it done before July 2. Thanks
  23. I found the grabber blue on ebay for $100 + $20 shipping. That's 1 gallon of paint and 1 quart of reducer. Think that will be anough to cover it? I'm going to grab primer from a local store and have the stuff to sand it. Havn't decided if I'l put a clear coat over top of it. Not sure if it would be worth the extra $75-$100 for it. Thanks.
  24. Wow that looks real good. Whats the name of that shade or its code? Thanks
  25. Leaning towards the light if I can find it somewhere. Any Ideas? Desert runner- I've painted trucks before but not that good yet. Flat black is to common round here for my taste. Almost every '85-'95 lifted truck round here is flat black. Im up for any other colors if yall have any suggestions except white of any form or black. Thanks
