  1. Thank you for the execellent photo comparisons and advice. Makes me wonder just how much flex I have now with me 31's like when going off road how close do the tires come to the upper wheel wells? There's a guy on cardomain.com called "hillclimber" with an amazing pathfinder, extremely modified! Oh well, I'll keep dreaming of being higher! My truck does fine the way it is.......for my adventures. Bob
  2. appreciate the advice. Going the tire shop and see what they say.
  3. what if i don't get new torsion bars or lift?
  4. After a refilling the fuel tank, I added a bottle of Lucas Fuel Additive. After using up the gas, the trouble suddenly went away! A couple of years ago, I had a rear diff. nose when turning, but after adding some Lucas product to the new diff oil and the nose problem was gone! Believe of not. I am a happy man.

  5. I am ready to try taller tires on my truck and willing to cut stuff out of the way for a proper fit. Are there any alignemnt problems to consider? Bob tucson Az
  6. No, but I'll check around, at the local yards.
  7. Well, my reliable truck has a driveabilty problem. Intermittment (during some driving sessions -no problems) stalling at low rpms, and short random power losses at highway speed. I can keep a cold engine running by riding brake and feathering accelerator for additional fuel. The stalling seems to be less significant as driving time exceeds 20 min. (perhaps coolant/engine temperature related. What i have done so far: Old Fuel filter removed - New one installed. Checked my ecu - revealed code 11 - crank angle sensor- in distribution. I've performed the test mentioned in the repair manual and there is no ground to tab D of the connector with the ignition off (if working it should have gound). -a fix means swapping out old dist. with a new one- expensive - sources requested. thanks Removed just about all electrical conectors for visual inspection for corrosion etc. Observed fuel injectors during operation and noticed a lack of fuel delivery when stalling occurs or tries to stall during idle. It almost seems one injector is a bit drippy, and some gas dropplets get splatter upward. I don't know if this normal. Never had the injectors cleaned in over 65,500- don't fix what is working fine? Performed fuel pressure check - 32lbs - engine cold, engine warm 34 pressurized; Engine running cold 38, 39lbs running normal op temp. Mpg is great >18 <19.5. no noticable difference in exhaust. Well, now i'm wondering if the crank angle sensor in the dist. is really failing/failed or can it work intermittily, as in malfunctioning. Local Nissan expert - want $85 for just diag. But i just might do it soon. You never leave the shop for less than $220. :help:
