pat, what kinda tires you have?

i've changed everything, i mean everything. from fuel to air. i had two mechanics test my injectors and the injectors are working good. i'm just worried it's my tranny. i want to fix my manifolds before i do anything major. btw, i had a 1/2 tank of fuel. when ever my check engine light comes on, it always give me code 13(engine coolent temp. sensor). and gave me 45(injector leak) once. like said eariler, i had it presure tested for leaks, and their working fine.

i'd so something about it. i know the o2 sensor won't get a correct reading if it was leaking. snice it doesn't leak and runs fine, you should be fine. retread it when you get a chance. doesn't seem like a big deal if it doesn't leak.

today at school, i was messing around on big dirt and asphalt piles. at crawling speed, almost to the top, my path started knocking and spuddering. first time it did that, any ideas what could cause that? :confused:

i just changed my waterpump last weekend, and boy it was hell. your ripping the engine apart. the hardeest part i think was putting the timing belt back on. before i changed my water pump, i had this weining noise everytime i would accelerate and of course it leaked like krazy. after changing it, it doesn't leak, water temp is normal but i still have that noise. but anyway, yeah, too many bolts and things to take apart to get to the waterpump. :furious:

i picked 4x2 because i'm not going to need it, i'm not going to 4wheel with that period. that's what the path is for. plus, 2wd is $3000, and i'm saving alot of money on the insurance. i'll put that money into the path. now i'll push the path way past it's limit. like i said earlier, i'm going to pick that beast up monday. it so better not be an XE i'll go insane!!! first thing i'll do is take a pic and post it up. when i test drove the titan this last time. boy that thing had balls. more than the hemi! Nissan is the sh!t!!

hey guys, i have good news!!! i'm staying loyal to Nissan, i just made a deal this afternoon on a titan 4x2 se crew-cab, silver. it's going to arrive monday. i hope it's the one i want. i know it has the center console with the floor shifter, and most important the big tow package. i'm hoping it has the in dash six cd changer. other than that, it has everything i want. as far as the path goes. my folks are trying to convince me to sale it, but i'm refusing. i'm so excited, can't wait till monday!!

u know i already asked them that, the dodge dealer said, hemi? or endurance? he kept repeating himself. and the Nissan dealer said, "dodge is a nice truck, but the rear back cab(crewcab) is bigger than the dodge", which i strongly agree. i'll just get them both so i don't end up saying "i should of bought the dodge, or i should bought the Nissan" we'll see gives me a better deal. the power wagon is nice, i don't need another offroad rig, i already have the path. and plus it's 45,000+. i want IFS in the front for better handling. oh yeah, wasn't the titan 4x4 of the year in some 4wheel mag? i know the power wagon was 4x4 of the year recently. they're both striaght out nice rigs. that's why it's tuff.

hey hardware, what's your problem man, i just wanted people's opinion. i have more education than you'll ever have. you must of recieve an "a" in your speech/debate class and a "f" in your people skills class. i've done my research on both trucks and both trucks are great. it's not an easy choice you know. i don't know if you ever had to choose between vehicles when it came to a new vehicle that you were going to buy. i don't know if i menchined it but, i like the way the ram looks, i'm not that impressed with how the titan looks, i don't like the interior of the ram, i love the interior of the titan. not an easy choice bud. Nissan's aren't the only vehicles on planet earth. i think i'll get the dodge just for your sake. here's an advice: stay out of the sun, it's not good for you.

i'm getting an everyday driver( V-8 14- 19 mpg ) i know for a fact that dodge has awesome handling and the cool thing the ram has all wheel drive, where the titan doesn't. im going with the dodge looks like.

i was excecpting an ignorant comment like: i know that this is Nissan board, i just want other peoples opinion. there are people who probably don't like the titan here and like other trucks. a buddy of mine who is also a big Nissan fan calls the titan a female truck because it's feminim. All my friends and family are encourging me to buy the dodge even though most of them drive nissans and infinitis. I don't know any titan owners personnaly that's why i'm asking, dodge, i know a quite a few. that's why i stated that i've heard good comments about the dodge and non about the titan. you guys have been a great deal of help to me, that's why i'm comming here.

i've test driven both, and the dodge has more balls when you punch it. dodge has more horses but the titan has more torque. so power wise, i beleive there the same.

hey guys, i'm getting ready to purchase a new vehicle. i want a pickup truck, either Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 Larmie or Nissan Titan crew le 4x4. If i was to purchase a vehicle two months ago, it would of been ram, a week ago, a titan, now i leaning towards the ram again i don't know what i want get anymore. both are about the same price. i like exterior of the dodge and the interior of the Nissan, the Nissan has more buttons, i love buttons. i like em both, i'm also going to use them to haul my path around and a boat. so what are you opinions? oh yeah, i don't like chevy, i think GM products are Garbage Marterials. Ford, the interior is tooo plain. and anyone heard any negitives from any of the these vehicles. i hear all positives from dodge. and none on Nissan.

did you guys know that the water pump for a path 4x4 is different from a path 2wd? it doesn't make sense but it's true. i bought a waterpump today, i took everything apart until i got down to the waterpump. i noticed that my water pump is smaller. i took it back and got one for the my 2wd, same design cut out but the 4x4 water pump has like an arm to it where the 2wd doesn't. i think that's pretty wierd, maybe because i don't have a t-case??? :confused: :confused:

i have stuttering and bogging even after i change my o2 sensor. my mechanic told me it's from the manifold leak. he said when the exhuast leaks from the manifold, the o2 sensor doesn't get the correct reading of fuel burnt. so the o2 sensor thinks the engine isn't producing enough exaust to make up for the loss, the computer send a message to the engine to give more fuel. my check engine light came on. it gave me 45 fuel injector leak. he pressure tested out and the injectors were in excellent working condition. i don't nkow if it makes sence, but it makes a little sence to me. i mean, i've done everything, timing, o2, pvc valuve, tested my vacuum, fuel filter, air, throttle poisition sensore everything.

i removed my skidplate from the front and when the engine is running, it leaks coolant. also, when it gets hot it starts that weinning noise. the noise comes from the the middle to the bottom towards the front of the engine. i checked my belts and they seem fine. should my fan blade have any play? my fan blade plays alittle when i move it. i'll go ahead and change the water pump this friday, the furtherest i have to drive is like 2 mins. but i know i should still be careful. we just want to replace a water pump, not an engine. by the way, would i be able to fit a 3.3 or 3.5 w/out any modes?

the other day, after trying out my locker for the first time, after getting off the trail. i have the weinning noise comming from the bottom of the engine every time i give gas. is it possible it could be my waterpump? i know that my water pump is leaking and needs a new one? any ideas or anybody experience this?

it doesn't seem that hard. but the cool things is that i found the auto parts store that has rebuild, resealed injectors for 40 bucks a piece. i'll just go ahead and get all six then and replace all of em. saturday it was really acting up, it was idleing at 100rpm and kept boggin out. now, it's acting like there's nothing wrong with it. check engine light isn't on or anything. when the light was on, it gave code 45 fuel injector leak. so i'll replace thso hoping that that it's.

try it out pickles. only two bolts, i took mine out and fixed my problem. if that's not it, like you said two bolts, it's not going to hurt anything.

the cheapest place that i found for the injectors were about 130each. the thing is, i really can't tell which injector is it because i was told that i need to pressure test it and how would i test w/out the tool for it?

hey man, i think i know what it is, i had the same problem. it's that "u" shape bar that's around the driveshaft. i think it's like a support to keep the drive shaft from hitting the ground if it ws to break off. it's connect right under the center console and hits the cross member. it may be that, check it out, i took mine off. if you don't nkow what i'm talking about me, let me know and i'll take a picture and post it up. i'm pretty sure you know what i'm talking about.

hey guys, i don't remember if you guys recall me saying about my path studdering and hesitating during accelaration, well running like crap. anyhow, my check engine light finally came on..what a relief acutally. it gave me code 45 which mean, fuel injection leak. now does that mean, that i need to replace the injector or do i need new lines as well. i need to do this asap because now, my truck starts bogging out, completely stalls.

hey 88, when you menchined that with 33's you'll die out you steering, what should be done? steering stablizer? or other goodies. and any ideas to lift the front end only without cranking the t-bars? is there a front end only lift kit for us? no body lift for me though, i don't like bodylifts, IMO.
