  1. Good point. I was thinking more mechanical, ABS didn't cross my mind.
  2. Male, 34, no Control 1: .336 2: .388 3: .241 4: .369 5: .281 AVG: .323 Distracted 1: .473 2: .409 3: .402 4: .501 5: .389 AVG: .435 That was a boring article. You could have picked an article about the history of Nissan or something. Good luck with the paper.
  3. You should get a mechanics stethoscope. Listen to the noise outside with the hood up. Either throttle it up yourself with the throttle body, or have someone inside rev it up. It will be much easier to narrow down where the noise is coming from, things can sound odd inside the cab. Once you narrow down the area, use the stethoscope to pinpoint the exact spot. I am leaning towards a pulley as well.
  4. You already have the bigger tires mounted on the rear? If this is a 4wd, that is a bad idea. Do not engage 4wd with different size tires on. If I misread your post, then ignore this.
  5. Oh duh. For some reason I was thinking you were saying 1 N-m = 8.85 IN-lbs 10 IN-lbs = 1 N-m Hence my comment.
  6. Lol! That was funny. He miss quoted Red Green though.
  7. Nice looking ride. Welcome to the forums.
  8. I bought mine from JC Whitney. They have a decent selection. AKA bulb seal.
  9. My rear hatch window was leaking too. I bought a generic bulb gasket and installed it around the hatch window, and no more puddle in the back. It was dripping down on each side by both rear window defroster connections. I will let you know if the windshield gasket fixes the leak. It may take awhile to get it to town. It is a 40 minute drive to get to town, and the pathy is off road only, I have a different daily driver. Plus I live onsite in company housing, so I drive very little. I may not get to it for awhile.
  10. While I was out driving, I noticed some dripping from trim across the top of the windshield and drips from the dash right below the left vent and above the dash dimmer. When I got back, I pulled the door panel anyway and checked the door drains, they are open and flowing. It looks like it is the windshield that is leaking. I pulled the trim off around the front left corner of the headliner and the trim off of the driver A pillar. I could trace the moisture down the trim across the top of the windshield and down the windshield gasket along the A pillar. I think what was happening was some of the water was running down the a pillar and getting in the dash. Then it was dripping out of the dash below the vent and falling into the door pocket. Then running out of the door pocket and onto the floor. There was also water running directly behind the dash, and some dripping straight down from the trim at the top of the windshield. Looks like I will need to get insurance on the pathy so I can drive to town and get the windshield resealed.
  11. I think they were about 1/8th inch. They are fibrous with some sort of metallic silvery coating. If I remember, the OEM gasket was a stack of thin metal pieces, right? If so, the felpro is thicker.
  12. I went out today to warm up the pathy to go for a spin. There was about an inch of water under the driver's feet. Luckily I have no carpet on the floor, all bedliner. The carpet on the bottom of the door panel was wet, and that seemed to be how the water got onto the floor. Judging by appearance, I believe that the seals around the driver window are shot. They are shrunk and no longer staying in place. We got 5" of rain the other day, so I imagine my door is full of water until it overflowed onto the floor. Is there a good source of new seals?
  13. Mmm donuts. I have never heard of anyone using sealent on exhaust. The worst that would happen is it would burn off and you would need to take it apart and put a new gasket in. Mine was leaking in the same spot. My flanges were not as bad as yours, but close. I used a felpro gasket from either Amazon or Napa, and it sealed the leak. Try the gasket, if it doesn't work, then try adding sealent. If that doesn't work then it may be time for new exhaust. Question, my exhaust lays on the crossmembers all the way back. All of the hangers are there and the rubber isolaters are all installed. Parts of the exhaust look somewhat new. Is this how Nissan designed the exhaust, to lay on the crossmembers, or did someone do a crappy job of replacing the pipes? It seems very weird and wrong to me to see the exhaust routed like that. Is yours the same way?
  14. You clean it for the same reason you clean any sealing surface, to ensure a good seal. There should be no reason a head gasket surface is dirty, but I still clean it. I also spray off anywhere the oil dripped, like cross members, with brake cleaner, and starters with contact cleaner. It's a habit I got in to prevent cars from coming back. Otherwise people complain that it leaks after you worked on it, when it's really the fluid dripping off of things. I do the same with all the fluids.
  15. Having metal particles on the magnet isn't unusual. It doesn't look excessive to me. The only concerning part is that large wire looking piece. Usually, it is just fine particles like all of the rest. Personally, I wouldn't worry too much about it though.
  16. I was just catching up on this thread and was going to add the bit about timing when the engine is warm and idles down. If the six plug boot was leaking spark, that cylinder would miss. I think you would notice the miss.
  17. Could we get some pics with the tire swung out and the hilift and Jerry can off?
  18. There is a sticky in the photos and videos section that tells you how to attach pics. You need Photobucket, imgur, something like that.
  19. No stupid questions. Everyone has to learn somehow, and what better way then asking questions.
  20. Just for clarification, on the picture of the bearing, the inner smooth part is called the inner race, the picture of the race is the outer race. The rollers are the bearing, and the part that holds the bearings is the bearing cage. The outer race is the one that you drive in. Do not hammer on the inner race! The races are tapered, so pay attention to the orientation of the outer race when you remove it and put the new outer race in the same orientation.
