  1. I'm curious as to what you mean by frame number, your truck is a wd21 chassis code, wd21s all share a frame.
  2. WhiteOwls STI key would e a reverse of that one
  3. My torque wrench is set at 105 I believe. It's my general go to for wheel torque. I have a different torque wrench I use that always changes for things with oddly specific torque specs. Start them by hand, run them up with the gun (not hammer them on), lower so the tire is touching the ground but not complete weight... Just enough to hold the tire safety in place, torque wrench time.
  4. Studs I get from carquest any time I need them, lugs I have a ton of spare factory chrome acorns laying everywhere (the trick is finding them) for WhiteOwl, the blazer I have a set of "White Knight" brand black dyed lugs that came with a lock for each wheel (I think pep boys) for the summer set and generic chromed for the winter set (image is everything!). I'm adament about my wheel torque and never had an issue
  5. You can still pick what you want, it's been a few years but when my cousin bought his dually, e wanted specific stuff. It helped the service writer there wanted his trade in but he gave 0 compromise and had to wait to get it. All about shopping for a dealer, not just the car
  6. Every car will have a little following with a community of people who covet them. As for collector car classic value (just considering something 'classic' don't count as here in PA 'legally' as long as it's 15 years old you can put a classic plate on it, a 98 Ford Contour is not the first thing that comes to mind when you say "classic"). The standard ones as said, retro-muscle and high tag stuff. Things like Raptors and set up SS package Chevys (not the ones that are a couple badges and a set of wheels). The current Wranglers will be popular with those who can't afford what's out then. I personally think the PTLoser is going to make a hipster comeback, it was popular off the bat, ended up basically unchanged it's whole lifespan, got overplayed to the point everyone basically hated it, I think EVERY one was badged a 'Special Edition', it was just a Neon driveline. Hipsters love crap people with normal functioning brains are tired of, listen to that garbage monotone put the rope around your neck crap they call music they put in every commercial now (I'm looking at you apple)!
  7. There's a plate that bolts to the head (2 bolts iirc) that the distributor actually bolts to and has the correct angle for the distributor mout (mpfi and TBI have different distributors and use different mounting plates, I had to change mine when I swapped from TBI to mpfi style). Do you have this plate? I'll look to see if I have a pic of one (I know I have spares somewhere from pulling enough spare dizzys)
  8. http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/topic/21-ecu-self-diagnostics-for-87-95-pathfinder/
  9. Nice! I love the ones I got (not Nissan ones, I think they are Thule actually) with a set of bars a while ago, though I use mine for fishing rods and sometimes an ice scraper
  10. Don't chase it! Stick to rivers and lakes! X2 clear the drain, watch what didn't splash out drain out, put the swimmies away and enjoy!
  11. Wasn't a competition, just things you tend not to forget that help knowing you ain't alone in te world of stuck throttles
  12. Have a friend with access to an EVAP smoke machine? Those pesky EVAP leaks can be hard to trace by the naked eye and can sometimes not smell pretty. That or buy stock in tree air freshners (kidding of course. Fix it right!)
  13. I had the cruise cable hang up and WOT the Blazer once, same as K9 I just killed the engine and eased it down on an exit ramp. Pop the hood, untangle cable (stupid plastic clip twisted), fire er up and tally-ho back on the road. The fun one was the PVC popping off my flatbed and jamming under the throttle, manhandling a big block 1 ton flatbed with a midsize SUV on the back took some effort...
  14. Why must people emphasize an old thread, it just means either someone was searching around and found something they would like to add to or caught an intriguing thread in the "related" results that show up at the bottom sometimes (on mobile so I don't see them right now). Remember, we are FOR searching around here!
  15. I've shoved things around 'just' enough on jacks before (sais the guy with tow truck access, I know). Like K9 said though, you could probably get a cheap pair from HF and then you own them Sais the one closer to New Jersey... Wait WV can bleed over to me... Dam (No offense meant to those from either state)
  16. Why can't the other PA people be near me... Forever alone
  17. Yes I actually leave poho, I just don't make my presence known outside it too often
  18. To "remove" it you have to pull the door panel as it is actually 'inside' the door but it is safe to spray where your arrow is pointing. I'd suggest some kind of lithium grease that will stick longer than 5 minute wd40 though.
  19. If it moves, spray it! How are you door pin/bushings? Any play in them? Door line up good still? I've seen that 'black track thing' (which is what holds the door from swinging back at you when open) start to freeze on many cars (mostly mid/late 90s Subarus honestly)
  20. Cross threads are better than no threads
  21. I've noticed photobucket for some reason decided to add a bunc I crap on the IMG codes you have to delete before posting
  22. I think the aerosol was dupli-color brand fwiw too... The can was blue (just painted the boat numbers with what was left in the can. Didn't read the can, just remember it being blue)
  23. I've brushed on "Herculiner" brand stuff, shorts and skidding off the seat of our old 4runner would equal rubbing the back of your legs against the rocker and a reminder to not be lazy next time but it was definatly not "soft". Side note, I've also used aerosol with less texture but still hardened fine
  24. B gave a good list, I'll have to agree there (great minds think alike or fools seldom differ?) I'm not for thievery but pocketing some fuses/relays/etc ain't that big of a worry when your buying bigger things (I tend to make it obvious I AINT bagging things people usually pilfer). I tend to hoard parts and have room to keep it so I say there's no point in stopping! And there's worse things to be addicted to, hell me and the boss can spend a good part of a day mozying through a pick a part with no list of wanted parts.. Just rooting you would worry about the fuse numbering font
  25. Snake oil, good for taking money from advanced auto impulse buyers. T does make a fun smoke show for a little bit sucked in through a vac. line, but I've seen a few engines start blowing blue smoke as a permanent reaction to people adding it to the oil. Didn't MrJim put a death blow on his smoker adding 'additives' to it? (Not calling you out Jim, just remember something along that line happening and being part of why it was parked)
