Most everything I find online is either in the East or north Cascades, which is too far for a day run for me.

What school is in Dillon?

They are all so different. If he really wants a truck, then nothing else will cut it. I have always had a truck of some sort, except for a brief period when I had only a 93 pathfinder. If he hauls things or tows loads, go with the truck. I would stay away from the cvt. The automakers always say this time they have it figured out, and then they have problems with it.

I have been searching for a winch and after reading user reviews and looking at spec sheets, I decided to go with an Engo sr9. While shopping around for the best price, I found a company called Allen's off road in Cali on Pirate and a few jeep forums that advertised the winch for a good price. On Monday, I called to make sure the company was legit, and Allen answered. Seemed like a nice guy, I told him about NPORA and he looked it up while on the phone and said he would look into being a vendor here. I ordered the winch today at lunch. Allen said it would be drop shipped from Engo in Vancouver WA. Scheduled delivery tomorrow. Pretty good for free shipping. Hopefully I can get it installed before the weekend.

Where?

Ironic that the bad parker has California plates. Looks like your in Bozeman. I lived in Great Falls for awhile so everything I know in Montana is in that area, so would be quite a drive. That being said, the Big Snowy Mountains are neat. Crystal Lake there is snow runoff only and it is a small lush island in the plains. Probably the only place in the northern plains where ferns grow. Good hiking. The big and little belt mountains around Helena have some nice Backcountry. Great hiking, camping, and snowmobiling. Nice natural ski hill too at showdown, no artificial snow. Helena also has some mines and hot springs around to explore. Also a float down the Missouri through the gates of the Rockies is awesome. Get a permit to float the Smith river, that is cool as well and takes multiple days. Lincoln is a neat little town, home of the Unabomber. Madison river is nice, has great fishing. It is where the movie A river runs through it was filmed. If I think of more I will let you know.

Use Hamtestonline. It is easy to pass the test that way. You don't learn very much, but you will pass. I still need to go back and learn how to actually use it.

If you looked on the parts diagram on any of the dealerships parts stores, like courtesy Nissan, it should show where the peice belongs.

There are other reasons it may be misfiring besides a coil. You could ohm the coil and see if it is in specs. Another option would be to switch the coils between cylinder three and five and see if five starts missing and three runs good. That would verify that the coil is the issue. If the coil is the problem, then yes it is fine to replace only one coil pack. Edit: wait a sec. An 01 still uses a single coil and a distributor right? Or does it have coil on plug?

Yes, a bad misfire can cause the whole vehicle to shudder. A misfire is mechanical in many respects. You have one cylinder that is not having a power stroke so it creates an imbalance in the engine. You have three power stroke on one side and two on the other. That is why the engine shakes so badly when you have a total misfire.

They are creepy. Think Maximum Overdrive. Worst movie ever.

I have over 300k and still run 5w30. Perhaps you could point me to the oil thread you speak of?

Dropped it off to get tires mounted and an alignment. Also looked into why my reverse lights aren't working. The reverse switch is not closing. Going to look around for a new one.

Make sure you don't have one of the new u-joints binding. I have seen people damage the caps installing ujoints.

Check the oil condition in the diff and look for metal in it. Do you have manual hubs so you can prevent the front diff from engaging and see if the noise goes away?

There should be a vent line from the canister to the tank. Have you traced that out to make sure it is not pinched or something?

I would abandon the one in the radiator, I don't see a good reason to put them in series.

You should have an external tranny cooler on an auto if you are hauling loads. Also, check your fan clutch.

I hope it works out. I wish I had seen that because the one I bought only came in 25' chunks, so I have a lot left over.

Welcome.

The R50 has the airbag built into the seat? All of the side air bag systems I am familiar with had the airbag in the B pillar. The airbag seat switch was just an open close switch to let the system know if the seat was occupied. Disregard my previous post about jumpering.

Installed the new OEM intake air duct. Vaccum leak is gone. It really didn't look like the cracks all the way through, but I guess so. Jy ones were in the same shape as mine, so I had to buy New one. Manufactured in July 2017. I was surprised Nissan is still making these.

Is it just a switch? If so, jumper it. I may have done that before with seat belt switches.

Pics of the mounting. From reading on here and other places, I am looking at the Engo sr9 winch now. Good reviews and good price.

Nice video.
