  1. thanks 88 i guess i had to be xtra careful when i make turns with my dad next to him. he through a fit when i gave him the idea that i wanted to lock up the rear end. 88 you have a lock right too right? you got that one right, i can't wait. after i get my ram, i'll start on that, i'll just get a dana axle, get the swap kit and just add the front axle, then, i will slowly work w/ the tranny and t-case, i wouldn't mind 5spd.
  2. i got 149750miles right now, almost 150K. she hesitates, bogs alittle, studders, rpm goes up down up down when i punch it. but that's alright, can't seem to figure out what it is. would it be ironic if i said she's still runs strong?

  4. as long as it won't create unnecessary tire ware, chriping on truns, i'm a normal driver so it should work out fine. i paid $250 for the lock right locker from rocky-road.com and installation wise, there is this offroad shop which i'm sure some have heard of "four x doctor" they said that they will install it for $150, i called a few other places and the cheapest was 250 and most expensive was 400+ tax. can't wait.
  5. i just ordered my lock right locker, any idea how much installation should cost me? i don't really want to do it myself is because i really don't have that much experience with things like that. also i was told that on turns, it won't chirp, it'll break free. when i'm offroading, how would i engage it to lock up? i ordered lock right because i was told that it break open on turn, and that my path is my every day driver.
  6. 92mini van, more pictures please, looks like my path but w/ a SAS.
  7. maybe it has a mind of its own. i have problems and they go away out of no where. like mine truck, one day it's performance is better than a new car and the next day it's the sh!tiest car around. would you believe that cars have personalities? bleed the brakes.
  8. you know i was thinking about this rig here and when you think about it, the only thing that is Nissan is that body, i high doubt that the frame is Nissan. the diffs aren't Nissan, the engine, it's a chevy with a Nissan body on it. when i make my path like that, it's going to have the titan 5.6 V-8 in it, keep the H233B rear end but with stronger axels in em and dana in the fronts. i mean, i can go out and buy a blazer and swamp the bodies, same amount of work and probably cheaper.
  9. so just by disconnecting the battery it will reset it? O2 sensor, where is that located?
  10. well, guys, in a few weeks i'm going to be pulling my engine out, i'm going to be replacing, well refurbish or rebuilt my heads, put thorley headers, replace all the gaskets. i was going to ask, does anyone know of a good place that i can get factory gaskets? i don't want aftermarket, i want Nissan gaskets, and i don't want to get them from the dealer. too expensive, i'm sure i can get some for much cheaper. soon, i will have a brand new truck. one other thing, the is regarding hesitation when accelrating, i just added the K&N replacement air filter and it was performing alot better than before, now it's start to hesitate during acceleration and while crusing when i give it gas. any ideas on that one?
  11. i found the cause of the squeaking in my dash! it was comming from the outside, it was comming from the metal around the windsheild, the metal at the bottom corner of the drive side. i took the corner piece off and put some thick gooie silicon in there, hopefully that will work keep it from squeaking. thought i share this.
  12. i found some thorely headers for Nissan Pathfinder V-6 for $350 anyone interested? why pay $629 when you can pay $350 for the same thing. check it out. go to rockyroad.com, they have em. click on the link and scroll down to Nissan & datsun headers. here's the link. click here for thorley headers
  13. well, the leak isn't comming from oil filter but it's comming from the oil pan. the oil pan gasket is basically gone. did that today and so far no leak. well, sh!t happens, that's why we have erasers on pencils. i'm a motorcycler rider myself too. i'm not willingly dripping/spraying/leaking oil on purpose man, c'mon. if that has nothing to do w/ my vehicle then what does it have to do w/ bro?
  14. yeah, i experienced this problem about a year ago when i went up to Big Bear, Ca. my path really lagged up there. but i think it's normal. my cousin has a 4runner and he experience the same thing. so i'm pretty sure it's the altitude. when i got back down. it was back to normal.
  15. he better tube it out. that thing is set for rock crawling.
  16. uhh ohh; honest mistake? i think i'll flush it out and do it again tomarrow, but this time w/ only 4 quarts. would anyone like me to change their oil? sly
  17. well, it's real hard to find the troubled spot because everything is wet. front fender well, all the way to the rear end. i had my uncle take a look at it he said that you might of put too many quarts of oil. he asked me my driving conditions. it was uphill most of the time, before i noticed smoke, i kept punching it, it was shifting from 4th the 3rd, i think i'll call that hard driving. after i pulled over, check it out and continued, i drove it extra easy, and no leak. i'm guess, may be the oil got real hot and when it gets hot it expands and shoot out of the overflow vent or whatever it's call. do we have thoughs? another, our pathys take 6 quarts right? i'm starting to feel like an idiot. that might explain the motor, but what about the tranny? i can't figure that one out. the last time the tranny oil was serviced was when i got it rebuild.
  18. hey guys, i don't know if you guys remember but a while ago, i posted up that my truck had tranny oil underneith the truck. well, yesterday, i drove out to the desert, it's about 1 hour away. anyway, about 20mins. into the driving, i notice smoke behind me, so i pull over. when i stopped, there was smoke comming from the shifter and vents. i went down to peak, it was soaking wet w/ motor oil and tranny oil. i'm seriously sick of this truck, any ideas on what's going on? i couldn't figure out what the problem was or where it was leaking from, i was obvisioly low on both oil. help
  19. i think it's kinda ugly that he chopped off the rear. don't get me wrong, the truck is bad a$$, i think he should of tubed out the rear, made the tubbing in place of the rear top. looks its doing something here
  20. ohhh. so no wonder my lenses where cracked, huh. i replaced the factory fog lights with IPF. not bad. they were free, my uncle gave them to me.
  21. i'm with n0cturne74, the louder the squeaks, the louder the music, just crank up the volume and you'll be fine.
  22. hey man, that's so weird, i have the same problem, but i think mine is comming from the windshield, i think it's loose or something, but yeah, about a week ago, i had real loud annoying tapping, squeaking comming from the passenger side neer the corner of the windsheild. it ended but being one of the clips being broken from the piller plastic cover. your saying yours is comming from the dashboard area. it would be that the windsheild might be loose like mine. maybe the pillar cover, or some other stuff in there. check those things about before you start ripping stuff out.
  23. underpants gnomes???....
  24. $440 for the thorely? i found some thorely for $350, at rocky-road.com, here's a link: thorley headers
