  1. I'm an industrial electrician. I carry the smallest tool pouch out of the 10'in our shop. I have yet to goto a job I can't fix. Of course motor changes are out, but just about anything else. A light tool box is best for everybody, including your wallet. Like, you don't need an entire Allen wrench set, if you only use three sizes. Same with wrenches and sockets. Who uses a 11mm socket?? Leave em home, and just organize a light bag. Just what you need, and never more than that.
  2. Don't know if anybody said it, but 80/20. If that's 80 antifreeze. Not good. Water displaces heat better than antifreeze, less antifreeze more water. Also, an additive like water wetter will go a very long way. Also, I hear of people using cascade for a dishwasher as an additive with great success.
  3. Off reading isn't always about power. I would NOT put a sbc in a Nissan. Just a waste. For off road you need efi. For the amount of power you'd get, not worth it. If anything, I'd keep it simple and from what I'm reading, a vg33 is a great swap. With some work, it'd make the same power as most any sbc. The wheeling I do can be done with a 4 cyl engine. I lose traction enforce I run out of power. This is just my "2 drink opinion". It might change in the morning. Len
  4. Got my pathy working. 4wd, brakes, and steering all good. I have a rocky short path behind my house for testing ground. I can go over it fairly easily. Late tonite my buddy tried it in his fairly stock jeep yj. About 30 min later he knocks on my door, and asks for a tug out. He slid sideways and into a big bush.... Pathy drove around him, and pulled him out near effortlessly... Yippee!! Not registered yet, but already showing up jeeps!!
  5. 1989 geo metro 3cyl 2 door.. 50mpg. Nuff said.
  6. Ok. Just a follow up. Clearances were in the tightest specs from what I got from tech support. Same problem. New crosspin, same problem. Took it out, and put spider gears in. Except for the no locker issue, pathy has 4wd again.
  7. Got my pump out and apart. Very simple design, advance auto sells the rebuild kit for 15$ with my commercial discount. Parts will be in a couple days. It was the shaft seal that was bad. I could have just changed that, but I couldn't find the part online without the entire kit. If anybodies interested, the part number for the seal was NGK AEO816F In case anybody else wants to try and just change the seal. Len.
  8. I'd stop driving it and check front brakes soon. Replacing rotors can get costly, pads are quick and easy...
  9. Sorry. Is that a not really I can't replace it, or a not really there's nothing behind it?? Thanks for the input, I just think I'm 1 drink past fully understanding the answer.... Lol.. Thanks, Len
  10. Hello all, Now I have my 4wd working, and all brand new brakes, washed, cleaned, and light trail tested, I found my power steering pump is leaking. Does anybody know if it's possible to replace the shaft seal, or I'd there is more complicated parts behind that seal? That is definitely my leak, I just need to make sure that I can repair it before I start tearing it apart. Thanks all, Len
  11. That's crazy! How do the 2000-2004 pathfinders fair up compared to an xterra?? They look lower and smaller.
