Oh, yeh that blows

I know when my power mode kicks in automatically and unwanted I just tap the brake and it goes off. Maybe if you just apply a small amount of break it would keep it from coming on?

So a locked single rear axle H3 would outperform a 4 wheel indy susp with way more ground clearance H1 (many of which came with snorkels)?

Thats the best thing I've seen in a long time, Fantastic! Congrats to Jim and to NPORA for making it happen

For $525, I'd be all over that. You could make that back in just selling some parts. But like B said if your just buying it for those said parts, no

what year PF suzonka?

try this? "If you have a voltmeter you can disconnect the negative battery cable and put a lead on the negative batt terminal and the other on the unconnected negative batt cable and check and remember the voltage. Go back and do the same thing 30 minutes to an hour later and see if you get the same draw." easiest thing I did, was told by a friend of my wife who is ASE certified to try it, and it makes complete sense after I thought about it

Only issue I had was having to take the bar to a machine shop to have them drill the the holes out larger because I couldn't do it with a hand drill, but I have since just takin it completely off, didn't notice any difference in handling

same ones that were pictured just above if they say nissan or maxima will work too, IIRC

where is that?

yep

yep, mine did the same thing about 3 weeks ago, check your alt before you get stuck somewhere

Sweet deal!

goes on top of the jack for lifting the front, leave it off for lifting the back on the axle - hence the curvature in the top of the jack to fit on the axle without that on

So true, thats the only reason I kept going back, cuz I really didn't want to pay for another alt, but all the time and energy I spent trying to diagose the prob I might have been better off buying a new one from Napa. oh well, I still have my money in my pocket it was just a big headache

The first new one was a Nissan reman but it was from autozone - I've heard this same story from 2 other people with alts from autozone

Ok so the whole story - abbreviated some: 7.4.09 - Pulled up to the gas station, went inside got smokes and beer, came back out - pathy wouldn't start. Walked home. Next day took battery to Walmart they checked it and said it was bad - got a new one. Put the new one in and drive home. Drives fine until Wednesday - 3 days later - won't start when I went to leave work. Got a jump and it started right up and ran great for about 5 blocks - died. Got it towed home cuz I "knew" it was a bad alt. Put a new (reman) alt in that night. Next morning got in to go to work battery light comes on about quarter mile from home, I turn around and go home - didn't want to pay another $76 tow fee. Take the new alt out and take both the old alt and the new alt back to autozone. They test them both - both passed. So I leave the new one with them and take my old one back, since it passed and was good. I'm thinking it must be a bad connection or a short suckin the life outta my pathy - maybe just maybe the new battery wasn't good. Clean connections, test everything with volt meter, check to see if there is a draw on the battery over time -nothing. Check all my grounds. Take the new battery back - they test it - no good, offer a new one - thats ok, I got my money back and went to O Rielly and got a new battery (2nd new battery). In the mean time I've installed a in cabin voltmeter to watch while I'm driving. I start testing the volts at the back of the alt while running and compare them to the battery - this alt is just not putting out enough volts. So take the old alt off go to auto zone and get the same new alt they gave me a few days before. Put it on and start driving again. Luckily I have my new in cabin volt meter. About 4 days later when I start u p I'm good at 13.5-14 volt, drive for about 10 minutes and drops to 12 - meaning I'm running on battery basically (or the alt not putting out any more than 12V). Take the "new" alt off and take it back to a different autozone and get another new alt and have been fine since Synopsis: Old alt died and killed my 6 month old battery Put on new battery and it was killed by old alt as well Got new reman alt that was no good - replaced and got another new battery and all is well

yes they do, that would be a good first start and the easiest, that was the first thing I did. I would get a volt meter and start checking if the battery is good here's my unresolved post: http://npora.ipbhost.com//index.php?showto...mp;#entry413981 guess I need to go back and add what actually resolved the issue - Another new alt! OK its been updated

another thing to check is your connections at the alt and at the battery, make sure your cables between the two haven't been compromised. And check your grounds

Could be a short somewhere? If you have a voltmeter you can disconnect the negative battery cable and put a lead on the negative batt terminal and the other on the unconnected negative batt cable and check and remember the voltage. Go back and do the same thing 30 minutes to an hour later and see if you get the same draw. I had the same prob about 2 weeks ago, it REALLY helps to get an aftermarket volt meter so you can see whats going on while your driving. My problem ended up being the NEW (reman) craptastic autozone alt was crap straight outta the box, and don't trust those screwy bench test alt testers. Mine would work great for about 10 minutes of driving then it would crap out, so when they did the 1 minute bench test it always passed. Bad diodes me thinks. Hope that helps

^ Whats up with that^? If nothing else works it could be your door lock timer, mine did the same thing recently and that was the problem, but I would check that last after all other checks in aforementioned link are done Here's the link I used to fix mine http://www.q45.org/timers.html

^ yep I agree

woulda never even recognized that as a pathy honestly

you could try Napa and see if they have a fitting that would work

So does this mod fix the weak stock CL issues too?
