I hear you, Nissan has invested so heavily in the crap cvt. I wouldn't buy anything that had one.

Harbor freight sells them. Northern tool, Grainger, McMaster Carr, Sears etc.

Yes, if it's in the vehicle push up and down on the slip joint. I don't know what to tell you about excessive. I would just feel it and decide if it feels "right" or not. I have seen them do funny things when they have too much play, clunking noises, vibration etc. Usually they are dry because they never get greased so add grease and it takes out the play and everything is good. Yours, with the major movement of the front diff may have worn or damaged the slip joint. Might be worth it to feel the amount of play on a few working front driveshafts to have a comparison. Also, because of the diff movement, might consider changing u joints on the front shaft. It is cheap and easy.

Since the bushings we're allowing so much movement, it may have worn out your slip joint on the front driveshaft. Check it for excessive play, mainly radially.

Lt (light truck) usually has a little stiffer sidewalls and higher load rating then comparable P (passenger) tires. P tires might give a slightly better ride. It is really up to you and how you use it. I put P tires on my truck because I don't haul heavy weight and I was more concerned with road noise. If going in the woods I would get LT because of the extra puncture resistance with the tougher sidewalls. That's what I did with the pathy.

a device, usually a rubber sheath, used to prevent conception or venereal infection; condom. ... The noun is first recorded 1640s, "a medicine or treatment to prevent disease;" meaning "condom" is from 1943, replacing earlier preventive (1822), preventative (1901). ... A prophylactic agent ... From dictionary.com

Like someone else responded on the other thread you started, how is the transmission fluid level and condition?

Prophylactic was a term for preventative until about the 40's, after then it means condom. At least that's what the dictionary says.

Prophylactically fixed it? Exactly how does that work?

Still start with battery checks. Then fusible links like SpecialWarr suggested. If all ok, then I would check the ignition switch circuit. It sounds like that may be the problem, since no accessories are coming on with the key in accessory position. Fuses, relays etc in that circuit. You can find those from the FSM.

I assume you mean when you turn the key to start position? That is normal, no accessories should be powered when trying to start. They should all come back on when you turn it back to run. As far as the no start, no click, start with battery cables. Look for corrosion or looseness. After that, try wiggiling the key while turning it.

Lately, I have been getting OEM filters off of Amazon for about the same price as aftermarket at the local parts stores.

Mig or stick work well too. A left twist drill bit is handy. Sometimes just using that will twist the bolt out, and if it doesn't, you still have a hole.

You will need to pull the timing belt to change the crank shaft seal.

I run Valvoline conventional (yellow bottle) 5w-30 in all my vehicles and have never had a problem. 5.6 Titan, 3.0 wd21 and 2.5 Subaru. Since both of yours are 30 weight, it shouldn't change anything when cold. The 5w would just be a little thinner when hot. Weird.

And these people vote.

Xterra, 4runner. Armada should be good, same running gear as the Titan. Need to beef up the rear end if you tow a lot, and add a better tranny cooler. If you are thinking that size, the seqouia is nice. Idk what else is body on frame.

They have a ton of different sizes and styles. That is where I bought the one for the rear window seal.

Bulk seals are so cheap from Amazon and JC Whitney, is it worth trying to rehab them?

If it has a sweet smell, it is coolant. Otherwise, water vapor like SpecialWarr said.

I was also looking at spots inside the frame rails for mounting mine. The wd21 just doesn't have much spare space under the hood. Interstate makes quality products.

I bought a generic molded hose from the parts store and cut it to fit.

Yeah I read that the other day. The author is all wrong about the switch to 4 door. I have heard it was more to do with import taxes calling all imported two doors a sports car that fell under higher tax rate.

Have you checked the oil level?
