  1. You sure do come up with a lot of questions Parts stores can tell you the info. you need. As far as reconnecting, make sure it's positive first, then negative of course. You will loose your trip mileage info. and all presets in the radio (unless you have an after market deck...that may save them) No need to worry about the ECU. Also, if you have auto. climate control it will revert back to 75 degrees (I think) blowing on your face.
  2. Yikes. Bet that takes a toll on the wallet from time to time!
  3. Check the oil over a few different times, taking into account all factors, (like engine temperature) and see if you find a consistent pattern of the oil level being low. Checking it once and saying it's low leaves a lot of variables un-accounted for.
  4. Good looking rig I remember when mine looked as clean as that.
  5. When I do mine, I loosen the drivers side rear-most as much as I can while allowing it to still grab the threads and remove the other 3 (2 fronts and passenger rear) and then support the whole thing with my jack. Then I pivot the whole thing around the one bolt that's still holding the skid on enough to access the filter and allow it to drain while still supporting the skid on the jack. Works great
  6. All Mode=issues (knob) Lever X-fer case=fine. Steer clear of LE's if you don't want this issue.
  7. Agreed. Chris, that's a great looking truck. Wish I were on the market for a new one right now, I'd make the drive up there specifically for that one.
  8. If he's interested in reliability, I would steer clear of any US (gasoline) LR's.
  9. Take care of it and it will take care of you. Every car and truck power train on the road today has it's issues. We're not talking weak rods or anything here either...if the powervalve screws are the worst problem (known so far), then do the afternoon's-worth of work and loc-tite them. Problem solved. The VQ power train, with the proper maintenance (which I know you do Dan) is equally as dependable as the VG. I don't think there's really anything else to be said that you don't already know about it, so I'm not going to try to "sell you". You're enough of a Nissan geek as anyone else who knows the ins and outs of this brands mechanicals. Enough said. If you can score a 5-spd VQ pathy, pencil me in for a joy ride would you please? DEFINATELY a good move there. To FUELER: 01+ LE's came standard with All Mode (switch), SE's took the lever until 2003 IIRC, the All-Mode became an option on SE's. BTW, 98K on mine, another month till I hit the big 100 on mine
  10. I have them as well and they were a B-!-T-C-H to install. No drilling required, just a lot of elbow grease.
  11. Not necessarily, but seeing as you'll be removing the caliper and bungee cording so it doesn't hang by the brake line, you'll already be in there...might as well go at it all at once.. Just make sure you have a real strut compressor before starting the job.
  12. Heh, rotors and pads if you've got some time! No there isn't, well, not that I did anyways.
  13. Yes...especially when braking hard, there's half as much nose-diving.
  14. Yep, that's what I meant, the bearings only. I too have KYB struts and really like them, they're an excellent value.
  15. I know three other people off the of my head (not including myself) who used them. They're crap and wear extremely quickly. I've had them for about 10K miles and they creak like a rocking chair already. As a matter of fact, I've yet to see anyone use them and not have issues with them. Pony up and order Nissan ones from your local parts bin. There's a good number names tossed around this board that people order from.
  16. I say bad bearing, esp. if you didn't change them out when you did the mount. If you get new ones now, just make sure they're OEM and not the KYB's.
  17. The springs themselves don't make your ride that much rougher...cheapie shocks in the rear do that! (says me with my RS5000's! )
  18. They don't work. As stated, they've been tested (plastic covers "invisible" spray, etc.) on mainstream TV. Those gimmicks are about as useful as the rest of the last 4 pages of sh!t you find in Motor Trend and Car and Driver, MAXIM and FHM. Don't believe me? Pick up any one of them and take a look...you'll find disappearing license plate spray right next to the pills that grow your manhood 28 inches I'm puzzled; do you really think messing with a plate to make it invisible to Johnny-Law's lazy-day cameras is a good idea? Irregardless of whether or not you're ever caught??
