Good write up!
I would add....
If you do not rough handle the oil filter when changing the oil your seal will last longer. You should also check the bolt/stud to make sure it is properly tight when you do an oil change.
Both will give you more life from this seal.

Bosch is fine.
As the othere stated, it will take a while to go off on its own, or you can clear the codes and see if it comes back on.

13mpg is rather low for normal driving conditions.
I am assuming your 31's on the truck are not M/T mud tires. If they are, that is the issue.
You have done a tune up, that is a good start. Did you get the correct plugs? Might want to double check that to be sure and cover the bases.
The next thing I would do is get a timing light and check the timing on your truck. Over years it can get off. It will run fine but get poor milege and performance.
I would also consider replacing the engine coolant temp sensor and the air intake temp sensor given the age of the vehicle. Again, It will run fine but get poor milege and performance. Here are the part numbers for those sensors:
22630-ED000 ENGINE COOOLANT
22630-1S700 AIR INTAKE
Other things to consider would be the front O2 sensors and maybe clogged catalytic converters.

Interesting article, it would have been better if it showed SAFETY recalls not just looking at all recalls - such as a loose screw on a speaker that makes it rattle.
What people dont realize or dont want to accept is, no matter what, every car is a rolling deathtrap.

Are the rear upper and lower control arm bushings in good shape? That can generate a thunk as the weight shifts.

It is gas not diesel

Does this sound happen all the time you accellerate from a stop, or only after you have backed up in reverse, put it into drive, then go forward?

A real nice guy called this morning looking for the upper and lower radiator hoses for a 2004 Nissan Patrol with a TB48DE engine. (nice!)
It is his brother's who lives in Costa Rica. He said there is one Nissan dealer in Costa Rica and they wanted $400 for the two hoses.
He gave me the vehicle VIN and I pulled it up in the system to see if we could get the hoses, which we could not in the US. So I gave him some leads to find them.
After he got off the phone I took a look at the impressive list of optional equpment on this vehicle, one of which made me smile:
Side Air Bags
ASCD
LSD
ABS
Catalytic Converter
Anti Theft
Fog Lamps
Xenon Head Lamps
Rear AC
2 DIn AM/FM/Cassette/CD changer
Power Slide Sunroof
Front Grille Bar
Front Power Seats, Leather
Spare Tire Cover
Leather Wrapped Steering
Meter Gauge

I havent heard of anyone doing it but it would cause a power drain to the battery doing that.

OK I thought outside the box some.....
The power steering pressure switch on the pressure line is on the right side of the vehicle and rather sits low in the engine bay. If the switch is in the closed position there will be no power assist to the steering rack.
The switch could have gotten wet/muddy and fried or is not making a connection to the harness now because of mud in the connector. You could have also damaged the harness to the switch when the vehicle was stuck in the hole.
In park with the vehicle running, If your switch is working properly you will have power steering and the RPM on the tach will dip down slightly when you turn the wheel right or left.
Here is the part information should you need it:
PART NUMBER: 49761-0W000
DESCRIPTION: SWITCH-PRESSURE, PWR STR
$69.33 (Nissan List: $92.43)

The upper and lower intake gaskets do not have water passing through them.
You also have an oil cooler at the bottom wher ethe oil filter goes that could possibly be leaking coolant into the engine oil.

Mein Gott in Himmel!
Time for new shocks on the back for sure. I would get new bolts, nuts and washers as well, those do not look pretty

You put a new pump on so the belt is there.
It has fluid, there are no leaks in any of the hoses?
I suspect it will be something with the rack since the vehicle was buried in the hole. On the top of the rack near where they steering shaft goes into the rack there are two metal lines. Check to see if they are bent.
-
They want you to lube the outside of the seal before you put it in so that it seats properly.
-
LOL. Interesting.
I can still get a new one if you want, but as stated a salvage yard in good condition would be a less expensive option.
-
Check the Warranty Book with your Canadian Owners manual for the warranty information to see what it says. The US owners manual have a seperate section for the seatbelt warranty.

I guess I am late to the party.

Tim could not decide how to respond to it. It carried over to this morning with him trying to figure out how to respond or if he would.
He was unsure if it was a real valid request for parts or someone pulling his leg.

The MT crossmember is discontinued by Nissan........

Some of us had the idea to send an evil prank email to one of our co-workers as an April Fools joke and to get his blood pressure up. We are evil that way here
It was hard to not laugh too hard while I was writing this. We even made a spoof gmail address for it Enjoy!

Hello, I was hoping you could help me. I have a model 1994 Nissan Quest van. It has a V6 motor and it has 289,000 miles on it and is blue.
I am wanting to know and ask if you can help me with some of the part numbers and prices and if you can still get the parts for me. A friend of mine told me about your Nissan parts site.
We use the van when we need to take my elderly grandmother places or on trips so she can see things. She is in a power wheel chair but it fits into the van because we took one of the seats out. We take wooden two by fours and place them on the side so she can roll up and down into the van.
Last year we took her to see the Grand Canyon in the van. We live in Michigan. This summer we are planning on taking her to see the statue of liberty.
First thing we are looking for is since we take long trips in the van me and my wife and kids we thinking she would like to watch some movies on the trip. Does Nissan make any of the DVD players that fit our van? We would like the ones that go in the roof but ones for the head rest would be ok as well. Even a vhs player that fits into the roof and folds down would work if they still have them available because we still have some of her favorite Jimmy Stewart movies on video tape still because she watches them all the time. Do you have any idea what the installation might be for something like this? I don’t know if you have a book or your computer says what it would cost.
We are also looking for two new wheels to match the factory wheels that we have on the van. We bought it new from the dealer. We also need some new hubcaps. We lost one on a dirt road in the state park near our house last week. My wife said not to go so fast but I didn’t listen, now I am still paying for that!
We like the ones that say “Nissan” on them but if you have some that say “Quest” we might be interested in those too. The ones we have are silver and round.
Also, does Nissan recommend Firestone or Bridgestone tires? What are the prices Nissan has for the tires? Are Firestone tires safe now? I know they had problems a long time ago with them on the ford explorer vans, but are they ok for the Quest vans? With grandma in the back we need to make sure the tires are safe.
The springs are starting to get saggy in the back, probably from the weight of the luggage in the back we cant fit on the roof when we travel and the large igloo ice chest in the back. Also when we take the dog to see the veterinarian he goes always in the back of the van and he is very heavy. I think we would need just the rear springs and shocks or struts or what they have back there. My mechanic said they were needing to be replaced last time we were having work done on the car. I am thinking that when we take it in next maybe having that done as well. While I am thinking about it, is there a larger roof rack that can hold more? That way we could put less in the back and more on top. But don’t worry, not the dog! Hahah!
Also, on the inside of the roof there were some hooks along the side at the top. We had some curtains on there for a long time to keep the sun out but our neighbor told my wife Sharon that they made our van look like it was owned by Bedouins. When we had put the curtains on there we had used some of that super epoxy glue to hold them on and they broke when I tried to take the curtain rods off. We will need to replace all of them. I think we need four total.
How much are those hooks?
Thank you very much!

On that note....
I was watching 'Animals That Will Kill You' on Discovery Wild a while back. It had a cool title so I had to watch!
On this show they were counting down the most deadly animals on earth based on how many people they kill a year. They had sharks and things like that on it that you would expect.
Surprising to me the top two killers of people were:
#2 Hippos
#1 Domestic Dog.
Again, people don't think much of dogs as being dangerous killers like they would percieve a great white shark because we are comfortable and accustomed to them just like with a vehicle. Yell shark and people run for their lives, yell dog and they look at you funny.
Also think about this....Rabies is more dealy than Ebola. You have a 40% chance of surving Ebola, but 0% chance of surviving Rabies. Taht makes Rabies mroe deadly than Ebola. Difference is we have a treatment for Rabies. If you had an Ebola outbreak in a major US city it would be mass panic, Rabies....wont make the news probably.
