  1. Hello everyone. Just finished a 1100 mile trip from Birmingham to Savannah Ga/ Hilton Head Island SC. With 800 miles interstate at 65mph @ 3k rpms and 300 miles in town, we averaged 19.2 mpg. The truck has stock 235 tires and 4.30 gears. Only mods are K&N drop in filter and thrush muffler with no cat. Not bad with 163k miles and a/c on non-stop.

  2. Trying airing down a couple of psi. Heavy tires and high pressure, the tires bounce like basketballs. The factory air pressure is 26psi. Nissan figures that air pressure when calculating spring rates and shock compression and rebound.

  3. 10w-40 is way too thick on fresh lifters. It ran fine at first cause the lifters had oil in them from soaking. After that, very little oil is getting to the top end. 10w is cold weight, 40 is the weight when warm. Clearances are too narrow for good oil flow.

  4. Just installed a curt mfg hitch on my 95. I ordered it through rockauto.com. For the hitch and shipping minus the 5.99 discount, it came to 128 bucks. Just a heads up in case anyone was looking to buy. Part number is 13095

  5. I can take some pics for ya tomorrow. I just cleaned the wheels and used a tack cloth before spraying. No sanding of the chrome. Imagine black chrome if that makes any sense. Also the more coats, the darker the finish.
