I accidentally wound the cables onto the driver window actuator backward in my wife's MDX so the window operated opposite, up was down down was up. I like auto up better than auto down so it was sort of a plus. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am going out to recheck my transmission fluid right now... you've scared me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

+1 CVTs are junk. The one and ONLY reason anyone of the car makers uses a CVT transmission is because they are waaaaaaaaaay cheaper to produce. There is a small fraction of the precision required to produce a long lasting transmission in the CVT. That means cheaper.. and consequently they do not last. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Steer clear of Nissan 2005 to 2008. 2015 models look decent enough but two years isn't long enough to know whether or not they are any good. I love Nissan and I still have to say, what about Toyota? Tell him to check out the LX470. You can find them for decent prices and they literally go for 500k miles. Land Cruiser is the same but you'll pay extra for the name. LX470 is the same thing but it's a Lexus and not as many people realize it. The V8 4Runner is also known to produce 4-500k miles as well.

That looks like a great winch. Can't wait to see it mounted up and put into action! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Neato! My fogs don't work as of the first time I sank it in deep water just days after I got her... when I finally get around to fixing whatever I broke I am going to do this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My 33 made a screaming noise after water intrusion thru the intake. I believe mine was piston ring related from forcing it to run after hydrolocking. No noises were present at cold start (except around 4K-4500RPM) until it was at running temps.. then it screamed like a banshee and locked down until cooling down completely and I could start the engine again..

Castrol Import will be just fine. (Or Nissan Matic-J??) Take them both off the radiator and crank the vehicle. And while your there doing all that id go ahead and use the same method to swap all the ATF. Run the vehicle and fill a container that you can see how much comes out(liters/quarts) and when it starts spitting and sputtering turn the vehicle off and add back exactly as much came out. Then repeat that little process until the fluid coming out looks new. Best way to change ATF. Don't bother with changing the filter. That's a waste of time and money. I wouldn't worry about the magnet in there either. If your worried about that then get a 1" wide by 1/4" thick neodymium disk magnet from McMasterCarr.com and stick it to the bottom of the pan(you could total the vehicle and it'd still be there). There are some great inline filter option that would be easy to throw in while your doing all this stuff also. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ah, Cashes Valley Cemetery.. top 3 of the spots I've had the pleasure of visiting. This place was amazing. Water crossings galore and scenery second only to Dicks Creek(so far). Honestly this place was hard to locate. There are at least 4 or 5 roads named Cashes Valley(Rd, Ln, Cir, North, South, etc.) but when you finally find it.. wow! I found this one by an obscure YouTube suggestion. The water crossings hooked me like a blue fin. Here is the Ramblr link: http://rblr.co/V1v7 (This Ramblr app is awesome.. especially in areas like some of you guys live) I'm sorry about the lack of pictures.. I had to use my wife's phone for the video because mine is acting strange(blurry and exposure is off.. I'll have to replace the camera module) and so I only have the video. Again this is hosted on Wistia because of the far superior bandwidth and stream quality. Check out the smooth rock bed that leads to a upstream crossing at the end... best little stretch of anywhere I've been. Just beautiful and neat. I didn't go any further because there were signs saying "end of public road" and after the neat stream bed I started seeing personal belongings very near to the road(nice grill and cornhole things) so I decided not to disrespect them. https://justjunk001.wistia.com/medias/4ovu5iqu5g Enjoy!

The oil pickup is a tube that runs from the oil pump(front of the engine behind harmonic balancer) to the lowest part of the oil pan, so without disconnecting it you'd have to lower the pan all the way down. The pickup bolts up at the oil pump so if you could slip in there, maybe you could get away with not taking the subframe out. I don't remember much hanging down after the pickup is disconnected..

I did mine with the engine out. The pan drops down quite a bit to clear the oil pickup. I suppose you might be able to unbolt the oil pickup if you have enough room to get in there. You'd definitely have a way better chance of getting the pan off without removing the subframe that way. Make sure you install the pickup before you put the pan back on though.. it is like a kick to the stomach if you have to redo all that RTV and stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

+1 for Superwinch Tigershark 9500 I have one and it puts in WORK. It pulled me out of knee deep mud/waist deep water, completely submerged. That's a good winch. I assure you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just filled my tank and right before I started filling, it hit me what might be the cause of my carbon canister filling with gasoline.. Recently, like since I swapped my engine, for some reason I've been leaving my engine running while filling up and I've also been "topping off". Not as much topping off though really. Only a couple times.. not sure if those couple times are also the times when the smell of fumes were present.. I wonder if this is the cause.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Subbed. I want an efan as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hmmm.. try taking the yoke loose from the front diff and see if the ujoint moves freely in all directions. Do you have any vibration? What speed does the clicking start? If the click is present at very low speed, does the frequency of the click happen with each rotation of the wheels? Or is it much more frequent then the wheel rotations? Much less frequent?
