Dunno? Orange and pink only look good in nature. Then again, I'm a huge college football fan and three of my most hated teams are orange.

I didn't think about this for my new projects wheels. Also, I'm kind of digging the matte paint look.

That's what I was thinking. Most commonly is the driver side insulator as it is the one that gets oil poured all over it each time the oil gets changed.

Check the engine grounds?

Thieves suck. Glad she is mostly together though. I guess that every time you pass a 4x4 with a basket, KC's, and bike rack.

Sure thing. I used a tiny screwdriver to scrape the male ends and, like you mentioned, bent the female ends to the point the harness was difficult snap back together.

Litteraly just did the same with my Miata last weekend. I cleaned the connectors and put some dielectric grease on them. Runs beautifully!

Sweet! The only way I can get my SES to go off is to remove the key from my ignition switch.

I've only pulled a fiberglass boat (have no idea what a '66 Chrysler boat .. yes, Chrysler boat weighs) and my '77 Jeep CJ5. The boat was heavy on the old saggy suspension but, it pulled pretty effortless. The Heep has zero tongue weight as the front wheels support the vehicles weight. However, it is noticeably heavier than the boat was on acceleration and braking. Curious, how much more power does the VG33E have over the VG30E? Would it really make that much difference when it comes to pulling a trailer?

Thank goodness! I hope it was just used as a "joy ride" and not stripped down.

Bummer. That is a list that I would like to keep my name off of.

Exactly. I think this is the third Pathfinder to be stolen since I've been a member here?

.. and toe clippers. Right?

Used it to pull the Jeep around to the driveway. Should be using Vajay to pull start it in the next day or two ..

#3 looks like a factory location.

What I dont get is why is it burning so much oil with such low miliage?

I second the concentrated "Purple Power". That stuff works great. I've also used the eco-friendly "Citrus degreaser" made by Gunk. Either way, use a brass brush to remove the heavier build up.

I have recently aquired a '77 CJ 5 that is completely bedlined. It sat under a tree for three years and had a nice base of pine needles and leaves all over it (no top). I dragged it home and used a rake and my pressure washer to clean it out. That stuff holds up very, very well. It is easy to clean to boot!

Good point, actually. I decided to purchase a 15 gallon steel tank off of Rockauto for under $100. To me, the headache and hassle to clean the 30+ year old tank was worth the coin. Couldn't find anyone around to do it. This was suggested by one of my buddies but, he is a total D-bag.

^^^ yeah, what gives? And dang it Ex, you missed a chance to confuse us in the thread title. Could have said that you purchased another Pathfinder or something. Well, on second thought that would be childish and misleading.

I just went through this with four year old varnished gas. The best way to clean the gunk out for me was to drop the tank and pour a gallon of Acetone in it. I then dropped a chain through the sending unit hole on top and shook the tank vigorously to loosen up the gel on the bottom. Unfortunately, I discovered a rusted out hole in my tank. I'm now waiting for the UPS man to bring me my new one.

Ahh yes, another Pathfinder makes it to our family.

Dang that stinks. Everyone involved escape without injury?
