Just a thought .. Are you absolutely certain that the leak is not from a coolant line in your intake plenum? Aren't there multiple coolant hoses all over that area? I'm not sure about the Nissan VG / VQ engines but, my wife's Honda Prelude had some circulating around the cylinder head.

Dang it man! I listen to your video and I end up twenty minutes later watching cruise ships getting rocked by massive waves. I was originally thinking that you might have an issue with the rear drums trying to do the auto adjustment with the breaking in reverse. I don't think that is the cause though. Heck, I've only posted this much since I've now invested twenty minutes of my life with your Youtube post.

Nice job so far. You guys are proving that the R50 is very capable to mod with the right tools and " know how".

That is incredible. How does it feel to the touch? I mean, can it be sanded down to smooth the surface? I know right? Some people even like to play with the filters to make the pictures tint some fancy shmancy colors.

I know right?

That's really good. Does the '01.5 have the VG33 or the VQ35?

I did the lift/settle thingie. It has worked pretty well for me. Hopefully Exbrit will chime in. I can't recall if he did his lift "all at once" or did like me. I do know that he had issues with camber and I did not. We can't seem to figure out the difference?

Talk about character. That thing looks like it's been through the war.

Wait, I just looked at the pic for the fourth time and noticed a yellow jack stand on its side. B is correct, the soft ground and angle of the slope are most likely to blame. I'm thinking that he was using ramps to lift the rear off the ground and had the jack stands towards the front. Is it possible the jack was used to angle the motor to gain better access to the tranny? I've never removed a transmission before.

That's because the two of you are slow. Like "window licker" slow.

Huh? Looks like you are onto something. I does look like the truck rolled forward off of the jack/ramp.

Is it just me or does it look like that jack handle smacked the crap out of the front of the truck?

Exactly why I do not work on a vehicle if it has to be lifted. I don't have a concrete pad to work on. One of my buddies has an asphalt driveway and places wood blocks under his jack and stands to distribute the weight. He says that is to protect both him and his driveway.

I swallow my masculinity and drop the rag top of my '92 Mazda Miata for my DD. 32 MPG at 20+ years of age. Talk about fun? My little "Black Magic Woman" is a blast to drive!!

Rock on! Misery loves company bro!!

Evap failure? At least I get the OBII code with that wonderful odor. Smells kind of like $$, right?

I've scrapped metal before. I didn't think of that. I know that with my lanky butt in the captain seat and a small trailer was in the 6k range.

Anyone with 18 wheeler knowledge know if the scales cost money at truck stops? I'd like to see what Vajay weighs "as she sits" now.

GVWR 5150.

dang.

Yes. I carry a spare (same part for both driver and pass sides) that I kept from my old steering rack. Well, it's currently in my tool shed but, if/when I go wheeling again it will be in my tool bag.

I stand corrected! I had to adjust my cable slack a couple of years ago due to the drum brakes wearing thin. I just had my buddy replace the drums. I need to ask him if he readjusted the cable as the parking lever feels about the same as before.

The outer tie rod would give before the shaft (like mine) .. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=0hU2Oug4bSQ The result ..

Uhmm ..
