I give up on poly bushings! Between the upper control are bushings and sway bar bushings my old truck with all new parts sounds like a squeaky old piece of crap! I guess they would be fine if I never went in water but that's what this truck is for. James

I agree with Kingman. The proper way to test compression is with all the plugs out and the throttle held wide open so you have no restrictions at all. As long as they are all even and it runs good, roll it! James

Yours does sound a little loud but my quest van has been making that sound since I replaced the belt over 50k miles back. Did you put a new tensioner? I would say it's not too tight if you could flex it 90 degrees. James

I've been running the castrol import multi vehicle oil in my wife's 01 nissan quest for years. almost 170K and it still shifts great. James

Would be a lot of work just to move the oil filter unless you were pulling the motor for some reason. Trying to change all that in the truck wouldn't be worth it to me. James

What did this do to your fuel mileage? James

I have a pdf of a 89 hardbody truck I can send you but it's 115 meg. I have sent it to other people with a dropbox acount. All I need is an email to send you an invitation to download it. The code is different in the truck fsm 43 but the procedure to set it is the same. James

The codes for the 87 are different than what they are for the 94. A 42 on the 87 is for the throttle sensor circuit. It's the switch on the back side of the throttle body. Here is a scanned page from my 87 factory service manual. It's a crappy scan because the book is old and I don't want to push it down too hard on the scanner. Mine shorted once and was running so rich it looked like a diesel blowing smoke out the tail pipe. James

Don't get a titan fan they are crap! In 80k miles I've had mine replaced twice. They were also known to catch fire. James

Cool, you still have to do a little modding with his crank adapter. He shows it all in his VG34 thread. Should be easier than all the modding you had to do on yours. I have a pile of parts I will turn into a VG34 one day, my VG30 just won't quit though. I got a VG33 from a frontier with all the accessories in the same locations as the pathfinder so they should just bolt up. James

You just gonna put a VG30 crank? So you don't want to modify all the brackets for her truck too? James

Replaced upper control arm bushings and upper ball joints then brought it in for an alignment and found out that the moog problem solver lower ball joints I replaced 3300 miles ago have a problem! They both already have slack at 3300 miles. Doesn't sound like they solved my problem! James

You young guys have way too much time on your hands! Y'all need to grow up and get a real mans job where you work so much that you only have time to eat, sleep, work, and cry while you pick at young people with really cool car projects! James

I'm in the testing phase with a custom distributor but it might be a little while before it's ready. James

I would sand all the rust off then apply the primer to make sure the rust doesn't come back. If there is a hole I would remove the headliner and get some primer in from the back side too before fixing it. James

I have the same problem with my 87. If it doesn't go down to the windshield flange you could just fix it without removing the windshield just take the molding off. Get some rust converting primer to stop the rust. James

Headlight aiming with the hand held gadgets is a pain in the ASS! I would be willing to pay $30 for someone to do mine if they needed it. The old school machines that had a track on the floor were much better but no one has them anymore. Headlight aim is supposed to be checked when inspecting a vehicle but no one does it anymore. I just use a garage door to make sure they are booth level. James

I think she screwed up, she charged me $15 per wheel and tire. That's the steel wheel price. The tires are crap and they don't remove them. I only found two center caps but I got some from another member a while back so I'm good. I pulled my back Sunday with a hammer, high lift, and some pry bars removing the tires. Now I have to find a place to dispose of them. I cleaned the rims last night so they get a good seal and probably thursday my 12 year old son will learn how to mount a tire while daddy's back gets a rest! I have a set of yokohama geolanders A/Ts I got a while back so now my pathfinder will have a set of summer tires. Still testing the airsoft balancing. I think I put too much in my Dynapros. James

https://ruggedrocksoffroad.com/nissan-pathfinder-high-output-alternator-c-38_1147.html?osCsid=n221r0ppaighdu0e6pht2lepi7 I've heard good things about these. James

I've been running the Dynapro M/Ts for three years now. They are holding up great. James

Scored a second set of legos from the pick a part! $70 and they are cleaner than the set I have already. James

I agree with AndyC. Mine doesn't rattle but I hate it being in the way when I need to open the back. Sometimes with a trailer connected I cant open it enough to open the hatch. The only reason it's still there is because I don't want it in the cargo area. If it fit underneath a WD it would still be there. James

I'm still waiting for that Y pipe! James

Did you see the shipping on that pipe? You are right at $65 by the time you get it. They say 2.5 is also available if you contact them. So if you want the gibson cat back you should go with the 2.5. James

You know you could have just unbolted that drive shaft Lol! James
