  1. Also the tires can be out of round even though the wheel balances.
  2. Keyless ride remotes on eBay. Have used mine for 3+ years with no issue.
  3. If you bounce the truck by hand, is there any downward movement? Try jumping up and down on the bumper
  4. My door sticker list 235/75/15 although tire websites list 215s. There's a 1 inch difference between the two with equals 100rpms. Sounds like speedo is off
  5. Sounds like the torsion bars are cranked causing the camber issues and its hitting the bump stops causing a harsh ride
  6. The beep beep beep noise is probably the seat belt chime with the key to on. There should be a set of wires that go to the back of the switch that can be disconnected from the lock cylinder. You can insert a screwdriver where the rod from the switch went in. While turning like you're starting the truck, wiggle the harness and see if anything changes. I had a nissan sentra do the same to me once
  7. X2 on the keyless ride remote. Bought a factory remote and it lasted maybe 6 months tops. Been using the keyless ride remote for years with no issue. The only drawback is finding batteries. Mine takes a cr1616. Amazon has them cheap so I ordered extras
  8. I put a hose clamp behind the connector on the steering column to keep it from moving away from the contacts
  9. When my cruise was acting up, if you pushed against the bottom of the steering wheel away from you while driving, it would engage. The contacts were just a hair away from contacting the ring
  10. On my 95 I used a 90 amp alternator from a 1990 maxima. Gates called for a 9361 belt but it was too short so I moved up to a 9370 and it put the alternator in the middle of the lower bracket
  11. My 95 with 235/75/15 (28.8inch) and 5 speed with 4.30 gears is turning 3k rpm at 65mph
  12. Replaced the alternator today so far no issues. Voltage back up to 14 volts when running. Thanks for the input

  14. Are you using the maxima alternator too?
  15. The charging issue just started yesterday. First 6 months everything was good. Luckily the alt has a lifetime warranty
  16. I'll have to wait until the weekend to get it checked. I'll be in the company truck all week. I checked all the wiring and grounds but still doing same thing
  17. Hey everyone, on my 95 XE the alternator is only producing 12 volts until I rev the motor to 3k RPMS and then it produces 13.8-14 volts after that. With the engine off, battery has 12.3 volts. When first start up its showing 12 volts at the battery. Once you rev it, it makes good voltage even at idle and voltage stays good with a load on the system. Battery is 2 months old and alternator is 6-7 months old. It's a reman 90 amp maxima alternator. Any ideas to fix low voltage at startup?
  18. If you're driving it on the street, get used to the road noise being overwhelming. Also you'll need to relocate ECM for spraying out inside with a waterhose
  19. I gutted my converter 2 yrs ago cause it was stopped up. No power loss and mileage actually came up a little. It has a thrush muffler but really no change in sound after gutting the converter.
  20. Idle when warm should be 750-800 in neutral and 600-700 in gear so you're good
  21. It could. After checking, clear the codes and drive it and see if they return.
  22. A mass air flow sensor can mess up the drive ability big time. The computer needs its reading to control everything else. Do a search and find how to clean MAF sensor and see if it helps. Also check the wiring especially the plug for breaks or chaffed wires. Hope its something simple
  23. Do a load test on charging system. A battery loses voltage the colder it is. Plugs might not have full juice going to them and causing it to run rich. Had this problem in my cadillac once before
  24. Coils need more room in the front end with the independent suspension. Plus with torsion bars, just crank them for a lift
