when was the last time the oil was changed? I do have a different engine than yours, however this might be relevant. Mine will have a similar sound when I'm getting close to the regular scheduled oil change, when that is done the noise goes away.

I know, LOL! my wife thinks I'm nuts.

Ah! the St.John river valley, sure do miss it sometimes. that is sure a lot of gear for 3 days, I thought you army guys were used to doing more with less.

i wouldn't talk to him, I hear he's a nutter.

Matte Black is a B*&tch to clean.

just cover the whole thing in astro turf.

I wonder if you'll ever find parts from Mr.Jim in your scrap yard hunting?

valve covers and rear main seal. Oil loss is not related to bad fuel consumption but a sign that your engine is in need of some love. find the leak and fix it before more bad things happen. BTW what sort of milage are you getting? 4x4 SUVs are not known to be economical DDs.

check the drive shaft U joint bearings.

try this, or this one and there is a good write up on one of the Nissan Frontier forums as well all nissan 3.3 vg-30 engines suffer this problem. I paid someone to do the timing belt as it is a PITA to do without more than basic mechanical know how, and a place to do it. but I did the KS relocation myself on the front street.

I thought Krypton was in Alberta? shouldn't need brokers fees. ship via Canada Post.

congrats on the new JIM. as for suggestions....Diesel?? maybe? SAS? long range fuel tank? can't wait to see how things turn out. and please post photos here as lots of us are not facebook users.

the end is nigh. designed obsolescence is being factored it to more and more things. I'm with B, I'll only drive beaters I can fix myself until there are none left.

try looking through this. http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/topic/19867-max-tire-size-vs-lift-kit-used-vs-custom-or-oe-wheels/

I'd replace the sensor first and see where that gets you.

plasti dip is an amazing product. there are loads of videos on youtube showing how to "dip" your wheels. not worried about the paint gluing the tires as I didn't have that much over spray.

if you don't do it sell it to me and I will.

sorry, counting is not my strong point.

I love the 3ft of snow and T shirts look. but I sure don't miss it.

4x4parts.com or Ruggedrocks.com for the gearing. the button drops the trans from overdrive back into 4th and holds it there at highway speeds. very helpful on hills. it will also change the shift point from about 2500ish RPM to about 3400RPM ( i might not be exact on those numbers). BTW very nice buggy but why did you put a "HeeP" face on it. IMO you shoulda tried to keep a nissan face.

Fleury's did it all here. http://www.nissanpat...50/?hl=limiting this is what I'm planning on doing sometime this summer if I don't end up with a small SFD from hawairish.

Go Iltis!

yup!

this is what she looked like when I got her. this is what she looks like now, plasti dipped bumpers and wheels, front "Burger" left the rear Pathfinder logo chrome.

Commonly known as a Transfer case or TCase for short. as in it transfers power to the front wheels. along with having a reduction gear in it (4LO). its kinda like a short transmission with a 180* bend in it.
