prolly better to take it to the shop and have them pressure test is, if the are a good shop they will have all the guages and equipment to do it. the compressors inherently leak very little freon, and it might need new O-rings. i suggest you look at the lines for freon oil accumulating anywhere on the AC system.

get some cherry wood and smoke him out, it'll get rid of the pee smell. other than that i second the glue traps. our house was built where a forested/plains used to be so we get plenty of field mice in our garage. catch them suckers all the time.

is it OEM? i went to see if the stealer even had replacement rubber boots and they said they discontinued them

i was talking about having a second powersteering pump and second hydraulic circuit just for the winch. i cant imagine that it would be impossible to do. i dont know all the specifics on hydraulics but couldnt be too hard to find out. would be just a pump bracket and some lines i think,

i fixed mine the same way, cept not washers with an old credit card that i tore up and stuffed under. i really should get around to fix it permanatly.

a torch a vise and a BFH(big f'n hammer) will prolly get that out. and maybe some welding like derogate said.

imma try some pbblaster for a week, and if that doesnt work its getting the hammer dropped and a new set of bolts.

any one have trouble taking the compression/strut rod off? cause im having a hellof time, i already broke a wrench a ratchet and a socket and the sucker is pretty much welded on. i soaked it and lube over night adding lube multiple times, heated the bolt, tried a breaker bar with two feet of cheater tube stuck on the end. and nada. so any idea?

yea i know about the motor thing, but how often are you gonna use that pump and fluid? not enough to get hot i think

couldnt you just fab up a bracket put a anouther pump on and run it off of that

hah idiots

the compression rod looks ok, doesnt look like its had any movement other than the usual. the bushings look alittle cracked on that and the UCA, and the boot for the balljoint is kaput. dont know how that happened its only 3 months old. ill try the lube thing, think WD-40 would be alright?

at 80mph its around 3100rpm and i get about 60 miles per quater tank. but then again i got a auto dunno if there is a big differnce on RPMs with autos and manual boxes. as for power, eh dont need to much but it would be nice. just yesterday i got truck doing what i would guess was 106mph, past the 100 mark crusing next to a IS300. good thing about texas is there are lots of open strait aways. had to try it

alright ive been searching and seaching but cant find out what the problem is or where its comming from. the sound is mostly comming from the right. when i turn but only where there is some body roll involved. some times it sounds off repetativly in the turn with or with out any change in the amount of turn. it leads me to suspect the suspension and mostly suspecting the compression rod. imma have to crawl under and take anouther gander at the set up but this heat is killer at times. so you guys have any ideas?

breaker bars work wonders if you got the musle for it. one time at work we had to use a 12 foot breaker bar to free a 4 inch fitting on a 2o foot long nitrogen tank. had 4 people dangling on the end and wouldnt budge. ended up using the 12ton forklift as musle

not bad, my gramps has a similar truck darn thing wont die. we have used that thing to hual just about anything and every thing imaginable. its a good truck good luck with the project

lol no, I can't say I have. Its hard enough to find a idaho grown product in idaho unless your picking it out of the fields. We ship all of ours out and ship washington stuff in :-) Although I have had to circle the wagons a few times, the native americans like to rile the horses. ahahha, hell we just get the occational arrow in the tire carrier here

Two Visions of the Countryside Clash read on, pisses me off. we loose trails, and get bad reputation for idiots like these :furious:

thing any one has ever said too you? i got a couple, 1. did i ever think that my dad hit an 18wheeler on purpose to get a new truck 2. that i dont have this special power called "hollabillaty" that all domestic autos seem to have, AKA the ability to holla at the ladies (pick up chicks) 3. that people who have dropped out of HS are inable to call a Lambo ugly because of the simple fact that they have no degree and are stupid and whos opion is invalid 4. that 31s on a bronco are bigger than 31s on a Pathfinder the list goes on too, mind you this is one person

no no dude its trick exhaust colored smoke is all the rage

hell, im 19 and i dont act like that either. although when i was younger i did stupid things too but nothing to hurt any one. i hate stupid kids too, especialy the rich prep kids with escalades and tahoes sportin flames and confederate flags. i swear i wish i had a 10pound bag of taters when ever asshole$ like that pass buy doing things they shouldnt to people who dont deserve it. but in a bind im willing to sacrifice the 19mm deep socket in my console or the 1/2 inch breaker bar.

ive heard that hawai has bad wasp/hornet problems. infact they has a nest that is 6feet high and 3 feet wide. one hell of a nest with like 20k cells for them buggers. its become a permanent nest. them suckers are pretty much the absolute worst insects ive come in contact with, i tried pressure washin one last time and didnt even kill the sucker, just walked off to dry some where, till i gave him a hand with lighter fluid.

ive been wanting a new frontier too but they are out of my range. the new tacos are nice but i dont like the interior, too car like. when i see a truck i expect truck interior and durability not a truck exterior and corrolla seats. plus some of their fit n finish isnt as good as i like on some parts.

my dad finaly got a new truck, and this thing is sweet! im pretty sure you Mopar fans will love this one. its a limited edition daytona with a HEMI. Go Mango orange paint with 20s and a black wing. man its nice as hell, and a heck of a lot more power than his last truck (RIP *sniffles*). im not so big on the wing, but still its nice. rides alot smoother than his last one, no more lo-pro tires. we had a hard time deciding on this or the Titan, but this one is a limited edition and it won out. although i kinda wish he got a titan cause then we would have three nissans in the drive way
