Like it says.. doing water pump timing belt and thermostat.. everything is going back together nicely..except that darn belt! I've got all the markings lined up on the motor but the belt just won't line up to them (white stripes, dotted line) Everything i can find says these marks MUST line up.. is this actually true or can i just line it up as close as i can and proceed?

No worries there Terra.. an alt. swap is on "The List" A 1000w amp and 2x10's are too hard on the stock set up as it is. I've decided to take the truck off the road for a year. The money typically spent to keep to it going will be spent on repairs and/or upgrades... I've been running it stock, on 31's, for 8 HARD years now.. dd and weekend warrior. I love my ride..and with kids almost grown, and being single again, we're both ready for the next steps. The plan is to get some info and decide if the motor is worth keeping or needs replacing.. the truck itself is in very good shape and worth rebuilding. A small body lift, beefier steering components, shocks.. all the fun stuff to accommodate bigger tires. AC goes out, onboard air goes in? I think i'll start a build thread for myself. Would that go in the garage or where? It would be a good way to keep track of everything i want to do/have done, as well as gathering info from the multitude of minds here at NPORA!

That's quite the idea Ski... I've thought about on-board air a time or two in the past. I'd feel better re-using it than tossing it away too! As for discharge laws.. i already plan on having a mobile unit come and deal with it. I do try and be enviromental where i can. Although, while driving a thirsty little 4x4 and spending every extra dime on parts, insurance and extra fuel (i do use mine off road).. i like to joke about my carbon footprint being jurassic in nature

Hello all.. as stated, got a 93 that i've taken off the road and putting some work into. Looking at a new water pump (why its off the road) timing kit, an electric fan conversion and possibly removing the AC system. I have found gobs of info for both timing and water pump. Even glanced something about a fan swap.. i'll be looking into that some more The only thing i cant find info about is removing the ac. Tons to be found about putting it back, diagnosing and repair it. As near as i can tell from common sense and the teardown manual.. it seems fairly straight forward. Guess i'm looking for opinions and/or info from the knowledgeable Nissan nuts around here

That did 'er.. Thankyou sir!

Has been a loong time but i need to ask the resident experts for help. Before you bombard me with with "search you idiot".. i have been trying. No luck yet.. Also unable to find anything in the teardown book The interior lights are staying on (d'uh). This came up right after putting shocks on to hold the rear door up. i'm sure there is a switch in there somewhere..? if you push on the door near the latch the lights go out for a minute but then pop back on . Turning them off works for the passenger and cargo areas but the floors stay lit up so i've been disconnectoing the battery for the last couple nights. Any and all help is appreciated. Thank You

I run a '93 SE with over 235,000K and that switch still works.. Sport makes the ride a little stiffer, Touring is a softer ride. i think the best way figure out the LSD switch might be to turn it "on" and lift up yer rear axle and spin a tire..see if both wheels turn the same direction.. i dont have the lsd switch..i just lifted mine up to see if i had the lsd or not. If im wrong im sure someone will correct me Folx around here KNOW about Pathy's

the Manik bushbar is what i had on mine until some (expletive deleted) stole the truck and stripped all my goodies. It looked great...but i found it to be more hinderance than help. Installation requires removing the front tow hooks and the bushbar wasnt very strong. I bent it pretty quickly when i had to use it as a recovery point. After it got bent i had a miserable time tryin to keep it from rubbing on the corner of the truck and even gettin to the hood release. I'm curious to see if any mods will take care of those issues.. keep us posted

got everything fixed up...pulled the stereo out and found some uncovered wires. Seems my bro cut off one to many harnesses and forgot to cover the cut wires from it. i'm guessing the dimmer was connected to that somehow? maybe? in any case..i dont consider it a great loss..i got my lights without blowin fuses and i got a cd player in my pathy..im good!

Finally got an aftermarket cd player for my pathy... Instead of going in to the shop and having it put in my brother convinced me that he could do it for me. Yesterday we found the wiring diagrams from installdr.com (search works!)..got it all hooked up..tossed a couple Alpine 5x7's in the rear. Everything seemed to be working alright. Lost of the dimmer switch for the dash..but who cares, right? This morning i went out and started the truck..everything still worked fine. I got about 2 blocks down the road and lost all my dash lights and marker/running lights. Before i went into work i tossed a new fuse in the box and tried again. The lights lasted about 5 seconds and blew the fuse again. Anyone have any ideas? i dont know anything about wiring and electrical..thats my bro's deptartment. But any info i can pass on to him will greatly increase my chances of gettin it all back to right. HAAALP!!!!!!!! Skwerly

hmm.. i don't think i got my question worded right I had figured it'd be a swing out carrier... but the pathy opens out to the right and the jeep opens out to the left (have i got that right?) Which direction will these ones open? I'm just curious...

those look really good.. will the Pathy version of the tire carrier swing the same as the Jeeps or will they be flipped to swing as i'm used to?

Off topic..i know i know..but 5 bux fer a pack of smokes?!?! i'm in the wrong place!!

Aw Hell No!!!! Thats just a nasty thing to do to an innocent pick-up.. and for that kinda money..i'd think the interior would be done too!
