Great write-up! Maybe I should do this, I fixed the problem with a wire hanger...
-
This might be kind of late but I did get rear ended by a Ford Explorer doing 40 mph off a ramp driven by some college student texting on a cellphone... WTF lol
Good thing it was when I just took my foot of the brake, I got launched 100 feet forward, quite a speed boost that was! lol
Anyway basically my tire carrier got bent into something other than a tire carrier and there was very light damage to the tailgate. I got another tire carrier for $10 down at the yard, no problem.
These trucks are very strong! Still drove like it did before too.

Before you guys ask for photos, there is something wrong with the attachment system here...
It always says 147.82k of 150k used before you can even upload anything leaving only room for a 2.18k picture. Is anyone else getting this problem or is it just me?
-
Good to know everything worked out
Any idea why the half moon retaining key broke off?
I have a 1994 engine in my 1991 as well and no problems with it so far
Maybe you don't even need #6 lol
-
could it be a bad alignment caused by steering wheel slop?
-
Check the switch again, maybe it was a little off on install
-
Its the switch, replace it or pull it apart and clean it
-
Yes that seems like a very good possibility
Can it also be a bad steering gear?
-
I know, it cost me about $180 total...lol
I probably spent more money on the truck this week than I did in 2 years lol
Still cheaper than buying a whole transmission though
35 lbs of shipping is typical for me, lol...I remember the time I ordered brake parts...
UPS must not like me very much these days
Also,
Get a big one like me
What the hell is this and where do I install it?
-
checked that, the same pressure all around and its still doing this crazy thing
-
I'm going to order 16 bottles of Nissanmatic J from that site and go to a shop that has the flush machine
-
have you looked in your OM?
Yes I looked in the manual and it only says to use DEXRON type but I remember there was a TSB somewhere that the Nissanmatic C should be used to prevent rough shifting when cold.
I read somewhere else that Nissanmatic J should work too and here is where to get it: http://www.mynismo.com/products/?id=3912
EDIT: Buy Nissanmatic D instead, J which is now S is for new models, 01 and up.
-
I'm about to change the ATF but I remember Nissan recommended something to use to fix the rough shifting before warmed up. It was a Nissanmatic or something I can't recall. Anyone remember or know what Nissan recommends for the transmission?
-
i have fairly new tires, less than 1500 miles on them
-
normal
-
the balljoints are good there is no play
also the linkage is very good too
i'm thinking it might be the steering wheel itself or the worm gear as there is a little play in the steering wheel and another weird thing is the power assist varies, on some days it turns easier and on some days harder
-
no my a/c doesn't work as there is a leak somewhere so i lost all the refrigerant lol
anyway could just be some air left in the system as the cooling is quite consistent now
it does not go over 1/2 now
-
go to the junkyard
get another engine
swap heads
bonus parts win
-
Ok here is the deal
When going straight at low speeds I can keep the wheel centered but once I start going faster than 55 then I have to keep the wheel slightly turned to the right and the faster I go the more I have to turn it. My alignment is good so I have no idea what is causing this. Any ideas?
-
2wd models and 4x4s use slightly different parts overall
I don't think this is possible unless you do some hardcore custom fab
-
if it starts to go to half then the fan kicks in and lowers it so its pretty much consistent at that spot but idk if its best for the vg30e
chances are it will be better once i get a trans cooler in there
-
A link for the reducer fittings would help
I need a little more info since I never installed a transmission cooler before
I would also like to bypass the radiator completely so should I get 2 coolers?
Thanks

Here it is

Here is where my needle hovers about
Also whenever it gets to half now, the fan clutch kicks on and takes it down to about there
Is this normal (for a 180 degree)? I don't have a trans cooler yet and I also run with OD off
EDIT: The attachment system is broken, see next post, it works lol

That gauge must have some variation! I tested the temperature with a multimeter where the coolant temp sensor is and its reading around 160 F at that point on the gauge. I guess its running perfect now.
