Yuo need to change the shifter? Please, don't tell me that!

Well, this day officially just got worse. The shop called and told me that they got my cams back from the engine dealer. He said the cams were damaged and look like they were oil starved. That's another $560 I lost on this deal. Bringing the total to $2560 in lost parts. Now, I'm really mad! I WANT the cams, but how do I justify another $560 on them? I can take the other guy to court and probably win, but there is no way I get get the money out of him.

I've heard that conversation and you don't know what happened before that. The guy who tapes the conversion just happened to have a tape recorder handy? He probably harrassed the guy on the other end and when he decides to record it he makes himself sound like he is a perfect angel. Reminds me of Michael Moore. All that guy wants to sound intelligent but really wants to put other people down to make himself feel better.

I may have to buy a second pathfinder. I can't let the current lift and steering upgrade go to waste. I LIKEY!

Oh Oh Oh. First oil change tomorrow. Now, the engine is officially broken in. Mobil 1, here I come!

When I get my new stereo installed, I'm gonn have the doors dynomat'ed and probably have the floors and possibly the firewall done. Plus, I think when I get my weather stripping fixed, that will clear up a lot of the problem.

On a different note, I ordered my SliderZ yesterday. I got the 4crawler Ultimate extra wide with the POR 15 and black top coat with gray tape and 1" kickouts in the front and rear. YAY! Another 605 down the drain.

I get to much road noise to notice how loud the engine is.

I say around 3000 and up it gets really really loud. Plus, I have the headers and borla exhaust. Makes it rumble even more.

Well, the hottest part is where it bolts to the heads and they still have the coating. I looks to me like the whole pipe was no coated or they did a crappy job. I'll either email them or call them when I get a chance. By the way, I only have 1100 miles on them. I just emailed them. We'll see what they have to say.

here is another Pic.

Here is probably the best pic of what I am talking about with the ceramic coating. Notice where the coating changes from where it connects to the heads and then the pipe.

I'm drooling all over myself here at work!

I haven't found anywhere that says that you NEED to upgrade the ECU. 87 octane is regular, at least around me. I haven't had my new ones installed yet so I'm not sure what it will run like on 87. The LAST thing I am going to do, if I do it, is get my ECU upgraded. I also have read anything about killing the O2 sensors. Anybody else have any info?

I have the susp lift and no problems that I know of. When I get a chance, I'll get underneath and try to see if anything is close. If I remember, something with the trans was rather close, but didn't hit.

I'll try and get those pics up in a day or two. I haven't had the chance to be outside with the Beast during the day except while driving to work. When I get home, it's way dark and this weekend it was snowing crazy.

Last night was the first night that I was able to drive the pathy in the snow with my 4 wheel drive working. I have the Bridgestone AT Revo's and I was not impressed. I was hoping that they would be as good as their ratings say in the snow. However, the fac tthat I have almost no weight in the back might have something to do with it. Right now, my S4 with 4 snow tires is doing better.

Welcome Man!

I got mine for 2500 with a 3 year warranty but had to return the old engine.

That's one nice site. I just learned a lot. I'll have to find someway of downloading it. Once interesting thing I did notice is that it said GL-4 or GL-5 for the manual trans.

I'm 2 days older than you! Nice truck! Hopefully I'll have some nice pics that are worth looking at. Just dropped my beast of at the Body Shop.

Glad you are ok man. Ice is a scary thing!

I live 5 miles from Morristown

I can't get to that link now. I'll try again later. I live in Jersey. It can be as hot as 110 in the summer but right now it is around 30. I plan to do some off-roading as soon as I finish up with the body shop and get my steering system. I don't know about this new enigne, but with the old one when I was on the highway with the AC on, I remember having the engine temp above half almost to the 3/4 mark. I'll have the new shop look and see if they can get that taurus fan. I'm also gonna have them look at all my bushings. I know that I had the upper control arms done, but I'm not sure what that"other" mechanic changed.
