Which 2?

Fronts are Wagner 90% left on pads, Rotor damn near look new. Couldnt read part number for the wagners on the fronts. Rears are OEM Nissan shoes. Drums internally again, look new. So pads and rotors are 4.0. But I still need to bleed the brakes. I'll check back once that is done.

Ill pull my fronts off today to check what brand they are. If am going to redo my brakes. Was looking at the PowerStop kit. Front slotted/dimpled rotors and their truck Xtreme pads. This kit: PowerStop HD Brake Kit

Light works. As for hearing a self test. Never heard it, nor do I hear it currently. However my tires are pretty loud to hear much over them.

I was thinking maybe the speed sensors are full of dirt/junk. But its just magnets basically. Work whether dirty or not. Plus there a pretty simple 2 wire system. Either work or no work. IDK, I'm going to dig in the FSM some more.

Today, I had to run to the store to get a bag of ice. As I'm going down the street by the house, doing 30mph a cross traffic SUV ran a stop sign. On the horn, on the brakes. When on the brakes, I mean ON the brakes. Tools and everything in the back slid forward against the seats. Stuff went flying and I thought I was going to hit the stupid person. During this time, I thought: Where the F is my ABS? It didnt kick in, at all. Truck is full laden, 1/2 tank, 300lbs of tools in the back hatch plus a Craftman 300 piece toolbox in the back seat drivers side. Which did fly and hit the back of the seat. My front pads are close to 70%+ left, rotors are very good condition. Pads are OEM type, have Nissan stamp on the. No clue how long they have been on either. Rears, really have no clue. I havent popped off the drums in over 2yrs. Did the tires at any point lock up? No. Which WAS nice, a controlled stop. However I feel the brakes should have been a little better. I have not bleed my brakes since I have gotten the truck. (2yrs). Fluid is nice clear clean fluid up top. But thats just there, who knows what it looks like in the lines. I will bleed the brakes tomorrow, plus pull the drums. For those that have had to use the brakes hard, have you noticed your ABS? Does it kick in easy for you or are yours the same, not kicking in? Any suggestions? I feel the braking power is severely lacking right now. Stunt Driver Rebelord

Isnt this the second one in recent times up in WA? Tell the police and get help to check all the chop shop wrecking yards. IIRC the other hardbody was found very close to some shady yards. If they saw you load the stuff and took it in that small time frame, then they are most likely local. Hope you find it soon and in one piece.

Double check the FSM for your year. But for my 99 says: Front: 3 7/8 pint US / 1.85 Liter Rear: 5 7/8 pint US / 2.8 Liter Pretty much need 5 Qt or 5 L

Just checked my diffs and transfer case. Diffs are good. Nice honey color and smelled good. Transfer case though not so well. Drained and filled. Transfer case fluid was black. No bueno. Sent from smert fone

Finally did my oil change and fresh NGK platinum g-power plugs. Purrs like a kitten Sent from smert fone

It will work in front and rear; both.

With flares. Nice wheels, what are those? Oh and 33" with just the AC lift and spacers? Sick!

Yep the wheel cylinder needs to be replaced. If you are replacing the drums. Then why not replace the pads? Unless they are outrageous priced in your area. But you can keep current one from what I can see in the pics.

I usually go about 4k miles between changes. Just rolled 174k. Want to keep everything nice and clean. But if I can push the M1 to 6k that would be great! Right now, on a dealer oil change. Had a coupon for $19 oil change at the Nissan dealer. >.> <.< Not sure if I still trust them... Ill do this one M1 with the Bosch Blue extended life filter for 6k. See how it goes. (Edit: I do drive for work a lot. Towing 2-3k lbs trailer upwards of 280 miles a day sometimes. Heavy traffic/stop n go to highway speeds.)

Good enough for me. Still cant complain with the price for 5qts. $23 out the door for Mobil 1 full synthetic.

Going to exchange for the 5W-30. They even have the Bosch Blue filters for $11. Just pick one of them up while I am there.

Sounds like the pads are locked to the drums and the click/pop you heard was the pads moving out with the drum and removing parts along the way. Right now, make sure to spray everything good with a liquid penetrate like Liquid Wrench, PB Blaster etc. Especially all metal on metal contact points. Your kinda in that grey zone to either get the drum off and fix what needs to be fixed. I wouldnt advise driving to a shop unless its last resort. If you do have access to the adjuster, keep trying to loosen it. (Cant recall which way, but should be in the FSM).

Easy enough. But why the hate towards -20 over -30?

Picked up some Mobil 1 5W-20 High Mileage last night. Now if it will stop raining I can do my oil change. 4k miles in 50 days. (Which btw the 5 qt jug is only $21 at Walmart!)

You've been here long enough you have permission to stay. Actually you should because you can pass on knowledge you have to others. Which will help beyond owning a Pathy. Plus you get to keep up with the trends to know whats up when its time to re acquire another pathfinder Sent from smert fone

I run a 200 micron teflon coated SS screen mesh. 99.99% Water proof.

Good tires. Get the edge guard with the shells and glass beads. I know a lot of jeep guys that run em and love em. Sent from smert fone

Sell? What!? Eh no.

That part I dont know.

It acts as the proportioning valve for the brakes. Easiest way I can think is to plumb in a manual prop valve.
