The factory service manual has a diagnostic table in the EC &EF section giving lists of items to verify for their correct operation. I think it's in the garage section of the these forums. I don't have a fuel pressure gage but the regulator seems to be a suspect part often. I'm sure a gage/kit is available at CT or UAP-NAPA. sent from under Ernest the Pathfinder

Repaired the nasty 5 cylinder lumpy I've-dropped-a-cylinder sound by adjusting the contacts on the #1 cylinder injector plug while standing in the snow, wearing two pairs of gloves and trying not to drop the stainless steel retainer. And now it sound like usual again. YAY! sent from under Ernest the Pathfinder

Why in the world would ya want to do that.... I do not understand. sent from under Ernest the Pathfinder

Ah, I spent about 2 hours driving around Montreal collecting small hardware parts to finish off the slide pin rebuild in the rear disc. I found that I was missing the anti-rattle clips and the rubber boots were torn. Both found and to be installed tomorrow at lunch! sent from under Ernest the Pathfinder

Since the cruise and headlight switch are in the same stalk and that the wires are routed funny around the column I would suspect that they were routed in a different way or maybe that a wire was pinched on re-installation. Since just a #2 phillips will get all of the panels off I suggest you take a look and see if anything is amiss under there. A pinched wire is obvious, maybe a light tug on the ignition wires to ensure that they are well attached? Other than that I cannot help... maybe someone else can??

Don't bother trying to weld aluminum without the correct sheilding gas. It won't work as the elements in the aluminum will instantaneously combine with the nitrogen and oxygen in the air and create pores in the heated material. The pores are not themselves atached to each other. Sent from my SGH-T999V using Tapatalk

The second one has some nice alloy rims...but it's black. That just means to me that I would spend more time looking at the scratches and that would bother me. I have to say the King Cab. Sent from my SGH-T999V using Tapatalk

Hahaha... ask Fleurys, adamzan and Pav what they think about that! Sent from my SGH-T999V using Tapatalk

Put it in 4low and pulled three cars out of the ditch on the way home at three different spots in what could only be called a snowstorm or blizzard. So far we are at 17cm by the boot measurement... Sent from my SGH-T999V using Tapatalk

42psi is okay. IIRC the FSM states that the regulator should maintain a constant 43... but 42 should be fine. Sent from my SGH-T999V using Tapatalk

The wires run through the sender top to the pump inside. Sent from my SGH-T999V using Tapatalk

I believe that is a whole sender assembly. The pump and internal hoses and clamps are not a part of the assembly from what I've read here and seen. Parts guys still have a bit of a time trying to figure out what sender goes with what pump! Take a look at aaanissanparts.com for FSM pictures. Sent from my SGH-T999V using Tapatalk

Today I re-installedmy manual hubs after a dinkle-puss pissed off with four of the six bolts that held the driver's side hub on. I took about two hours of phone work anddriving around last night to no avail and ended up taking a whole new set of bolts from work. Sent from my SGH-T999V using Tapatalk

I am so jealous that you have access to a 20 somthin' year old truck that looks like that...

Thanks guys, I didn't really give the pin a chance Friday but i showed up late aaaand everthing else went downhill from there. I'll be getting a triangular file and PB Blaster at Canadian Tire later today and take another run at the pin. Sent from my SGH-T999V using Tapatalk

Beat on the driver's side rear cailper for 35 minutes with heat and wd40. Caliper is stuck to the inside and not even the little 4lb hammer I have can move the thing....sooo pulled the old pads off of the right side and stuffed one in the left and put in three new pads. And once again I hate salt more than anything else on planet earth right now.... Quebec....dammit. Sent from my SGH-T999V using Tapatalk

adamzan: did you get these done on your truck? I have a left rear caliper with a sticky glide pin that's eaten the whole pad and I'm going to have to dive in this weekend to the rear brakes. Any tips you could share?

We'll try to keep you focused and motivated!!

Drove it to work, small slide through the parking lot to my spot and decided that I now have a loose ground somewhere that'll have to be repaired this weekend. Sent from my SGH-T999V using Tapatalk

My bad was assuming that the timing marks were 3 degrees each.... they are, as I have been told, 5 degrees each. And now my fuel consumption has gone down about 5 percent. Yay for NPORA and the gentle-folk on here. Word to the Precise 1. Adamzan and Don my homie at the dealership!! Thanks guys! Sent from my SGH-T999V using Tapatalk

Hahhhh....so that my truck is running 22 degrees is probably not a good thing then.... methinks I'll be changing that tonight more towards the 15 degree end of the spectrum.... plus or minus 2 degrees.... Thanks for the info adamzan!

Question: Just for kicks last night I went out and bought a timing light (wanted to get one for some time now) and checked the timing on the truck. There are seven marks on the pulley and each mark is about 3 degrees; is that correct?
