  2. I have a new MAF unit on the way $89.97 from my Infiniti dealer. itl be here on Wednesday. going to install new one. clean IAC and TPS while I am at it. new bumper installed required removal of air intake box removal. so I got find a snorkel that will fit so I don't suck and water up. extremely exposed. thank You
  3. No check light. yes it is coming to red light slowing down or when finally stopped at the light. it does it when it is cold.but yesterday when I was backing into my parking space at work it would keep dying everytime I shifted from d to r
  4. Hello everyone, my 99.5 qx4 has been randomly dying when I come to a stop or switch gears drom driver/reverse etc. anyone have any idea what this could be? I just put 2k into a ton of repairs into it and it seems to never end with this car. please help. no codes/ check light, just driving to a stop light she will just die start right up and die at random.wth.
  5. I AM WAITING ON THE SENSOR TO ARRIVE ITS ON ORDER FROM ROCKAUTO.I WILL FOR SURE POST IT UP ON HO DIFFICULT AND HOW MUCH TIME IT TOOK. I JUST DONT LIKE CUTTING INTO THE WIRING HARNESS.
  6. WHY NOT JUST CRAWL UNDER THE TRUCK AND REMOVE THE TRANS MOUNT AND PUT HAND UP ON LEFT SIDE BANK AND UNPLUG THE OLD SENSOR FROMT THE BOTTOM AND RE-RUN IT TO THE TOP THAT WAY NO CUSTTING IS INVOLVED? THERES A YOUTUBE VIDEO ON IT I WILL BE TRYING THIS METHOD TODAY. I DONT LIKE CUTTING INTO WIRING.
  7. I have 2 inch lift, and run 265/75r16 goodyear duraCRAPS. which will be getting replaced in the next month or so. not enough mud traction for where I go, I do a lot of lose sand dirt snow up in bend in the winter. its my daily driver so im not to sure on this mod, also I hav a lsd rear end off my in laws wrecked 97 r50 4x4 will it bolt on no mods needed if the h33 and numbers all match up? I want to go as cost effective as possible on lockers ,I got the stock center locking dif I figure a front lokka and rear lsd and itll be a good set up.i will be swapping out my spring for heavy dutyh ones as I am making a winch bumper for the truck
  8. SOUNDS GREAT THATS FOR THE INFO GUYS I WILL ORDER THEM FRIDAY
  9. Hello everyone.so I am reading up on the manual hub conversion. could this be done on my 99.9 qx4? safely? I have the knob buttong 4wd not the shifter. I am wondering if I could get mbetter mpg and longer cv life. thank you.
  10. I currently personally run the goodyear duratracs in p265/70r16 no need for and lt as my qx4 cannot even tow what and lt tire is designed for. P metric tires will also have a thicker sidewall than an LT. the goodyears are an ok tire for being a hybrid of an MT/AT mix.not really a MT tire. They have really good on road manners and comfort, but they do extremely horrible in thick clay,Snow is where they out perform the most,
  11. Hey there. so you have got to figure out what the main purpose of the tire will be. Pavement driving vs dirt mwhat percentages of each. being in the tire industry for 16 yrs knowing a lot about them. bfg is good what I do not like about them is on the new models no flange protection also they removed a nylon belt cap that helps with tread strength to save weight. but it is designed with what we call a segmented mold so the tire is true or more "round" if you will. The generals use and older style clam sheel mold older technology but combat that in a higher silica concentration to make up for comfort. Also my BEST advice is do NOT compare the UTQG ratings as they are manufacture specific they are not meant for a cross reference from manufacture to manufacture. You could try the hankook dynapro AT, 50k warranty. And All Terrain Tire of the year since 2006. good strong rep. and very affordable in most sizes,
  12. Have the alignment shop not only do a front end aligntment,but have them do a thrust angle alignment check. Most shops can check it if the alignment rack and dsp system is up to date, A thrust check will let you know if any part of the vehicle is not square of aligned due to an accident or damage ont the unibody/frames. Most body shops do not do a thrust alignment check due to time it takes. hope this helps.
  13. YAY TIRES MY LINE OF KNOW HOW. IT COULD BE THAT THE REAR MAY HAVE TO MUCH OF WHAT IS CALLED "DOG TRACKING" OR THRUST ANGLE TO EXCESSIVE.SOMETIME A WORN BUSHING WILL BE THE CAUSE. ALSO WHAT LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT IS THAT 99.9% OF SUV'S/ TRUCKS THAT HAVE A SOLID REAR.WILL ALWAYS HAVE A DOG TRACKING ON THE LR CORNER OF THE TRUCK.IT SITS INWARD COMPARED TO THE RR. AXLE SHIFTING IS PISSIBLE UNDERLOAD WITH WORN SUSPENSION COMPONENTS.
  14. Question. would the lokka make sense in my 99.5 qx4 with the auto 4wd? Or would it cause issues since I cannot disengage , its a turn knob style 4wd system also would I have to change to manual hubs before? Thank you.

  16. awesome im in milpitas work and live here
  17. hello everyone . so my brother in law has a 96 pathfinder 4x4 5 speed with a lsd rear end. how hard and is it possible to swap into my 99.5 qx4 4x4 automatic? he is selling the car due to a bad cat convertor and has told me i can take what i want off of it before he sells. thank you
