When I had mine done, the most expensive part was the windshield itself. Cost 335, with taxes, here in Ontario most of that was the windshield. It cracked on me while I was out west and I was going to have it done in Seattle but couldn't afford it at the time, even though it was much cheaper like you have found. Depending on where your truck is from and how well it was maintained there may be rust under the windshield that they need to repair so the new one doesn't leak. The shop I took mine to included that in the price, they had the truck for 4 hours (they informed me of this beforehand) but it only said "r & r windshield" on the invoice. It actually doesn't take them long to pull the glass, they had mine out in half an hour. The place I took mine to was Apple Auto Glass. If the ones out there are anything like the one I went to I would strongly recommend them.

If they fixed it, it is.

i never had a hole in my gas tank

The one thing I really like about the dealer is that when they say bring it in for 10am the truck goes into the shop at 10am and I'm called as soon as it is done/when they need my authorization to go ahead. Almost all of the private shops I've been to, say to bring it at 9am or w/e and it sits there most of the day then they call me at 4:59 saying it needs something or its done but there is no way in hell I could make it over there before they close at 5.

With my jeep springs I believe I had them cut side up, I think I still have them somewhere. Also, do you think it could just be your gravel driveway? Just throwin that out there.

Go to a JY and pull all the locks and ignition out of a truck there that still has the keys (they usually leave them in the ignition). Make sure one key works for all, swap into yours, problem solved.

I normally do it myself, but when I had the pathy in at nissan for seatbelt repairs I had them do an oil change as well. It was only 39.99, which I think is a great price for the right oil and oem filter. I'm considering making that my winter oil change place since I don't have a garage to work in. They did a very good job (filled to the proper level, filled washer fluid, washed the truck and didn't spill oil all over the place like a quick lube joint). I also checked the prices of the local quick lube places and they were all more expensive for the same service. What I appreciated most is that they didn't treat me like a schmuck just because I drove an older vehicle, they even offered me a loaner car...

I have factory heated cloth seats U jelly.

The actual color is "Charcoal Pearl" code KH2

Like nunya said it is grey. Just like mine lol.

The seats have 2 settings hi and low so it doesn't actually roast your ass.

If it is off one tooth it will still rev up all the way but it will feel like you're towing a trailer all the time.

I got the spectra premium radiator for my dads r50 from rock auto. It looked very well made and installed/functioned just like factory. They used to make all metal rad's for the wd21's (my new wd21 has one) but I haven't seen one in a while.

It might be pricey, but take it to nissan for an alignment, they seem to be the only ones who can get it right.

Yes you can, that's what we did when we replaced my dads struts. But I changed the mounts though.

what about the coolant temp sensor.

You're not supposed to use those while you're on the road.

It should. The amps were all the same.

Meh, the pathy VQ eats sensors for breakfast, you're better off.

My rig had the original cap and rotor and wires at 300,000kms. They looked fine but I changed them anyways. I probably could have left them but there was a small crack near one of the screws in the cap.

I've seen a few around here in Ottawa that were clearly maintained very well. Mostly driven by blue hairs.

It's called the tension rod.

Sounds like you need to check out the front end for any loose/worn parts and have it aligned. For the other issue it sounds like the hubs, when going from drive to reverse be gentle on the accelerator so they won't skip and then slam in.

Take the blower motor out and check in there and make sure the squirrel cage on the motor isn't loose or something.
