I have a pre-carb NATO jerry can that I'm going to take with me on my next trip. To save on space I was wondering if these can be stored on their sides (the large side) without leaking?

er...its still in progress. actually I have been half done with it for a while now.....

I'm averaging around 20mpg recently - but I am still on 31s, have headers, tuned recently, and mostly highway.

yes.

hahahaha!

X for better aftermarket support and relatively simple and reliable engine.

how about finding someone who is parting out their truck and buying that one.

x2

why wont they connect to your piping? mine did.

You could try using one of those extendable magnets to fish them out, or just buy some new washers at the hardware store and forgetta bout them.

no local JY you can get the parts at?

the hardbody t-bars and pathfinder t-bars are different lengths you know. maybe thats why you are having problems?

yep, anyone can edit it - so it is not very reliable. I also read it on a couple of other sites - but for all I know they could have got their info from wikipedia, lol.

I just read in a couple of places (including wikipedia) that in 2002 the VG33 went to 180hp 210tq. Is this misinformation or true?

are any of their snouts the same length as the pathfinders? do you think the extra sides would really be a factor in stability for rough terrain - or just an extra precaution?

can anyone tell me what the real difference is between a car VG30 or 33 water pump (the one without the extra metal bits on the sides, such as is on a maxima or quest) and the truck water pump? Is there a flow difference or something?

yeah I do notice that now....too many Guinness last night

a stroked 3.3 MPFI has to make better than 200hp. If the stock is 170~ then exhaust, cams, intake should garner about 25hp CONSERVATIVELY (considering they all build upon each other). Then if you intake port match probably another few hp and its already at 200. Add displacement and the numbers go up even more. Not to mention increased compression if you use pistons without the typical 3.3 dish in them. Gotta add another 20-30hp. I totally agree with B that the 3.3 can make 190+ (I personally think about 200) with just cams, exhaust, and intake. As for putting a 350 in there like some people suggested - how boring and unoriginal is that!!! Plus a lot of work to fit it in the engine bay. At least the 3.3 will fit without much modification, and how cool is it to have the 3.4 or 3.6 when hardly anyone else has one.

I bet you could get mid 20's with the 3.3, Eurospec cams, exhaust and smaller wheels. If you get the 4x4 auto you will probably get the 4.6 gears also which will help too. Even if you kept 31's on there I bet with that setup youd get low 20's - I get 17-19 average depending on how I drive and only have thorleys. would a slightly stronger cam really kill the gas mileage anyway? Since you want the square dash I would go for a 93 SE or LE - you get the 3rd brake light, the ceiling speakers and a few other additions - hopefully you could get leather seats too if you wanted them.

Your link to the PDF is down - can you put it back up again?

the fact everyone is stopping production of stuff for our trucks (ARB, DT) does not bode well for us.

those are pretty much the same grinds yes?

Don't let that leather get rained on! lol.

too bad they discontinued the ARB bumper - however you can get jerry cans and mounts etc snorkels from them.

is 3.5 too much?
