Truck was running like crap. I didn't think the rattling was related. https://youtu.be/ttpqafpC2-A

Yep that is it! I thought it looked familiar

So did you get it?

Snorkel one day. Came home to my mom's for Christmas and found some of my tools, my oil filter relocation kit and external transmission filter, and my rear stainless steel like to the t block.

The impact does the work. No need to do anything special unless it's weak. L

Yes and yes.

Search on NPORA. I posted this info before. You can buy the stud at 4x4 parts and order the monroe shock at any auto parts store or rockauto. Look up pathfinder steering stabilizer and it will come up in their database.

Sounds like the dizzy. A faulty dizzy will do that and the camshaft position sensor goes out of wack.

You do not need to drop the pan to change the fluid it does help to see if you don't have large broken bits.

I'm guessing your con rod bearings are shot.

The bundle ends at the passenger fender at the transmission harness junction tree. You'll see like 5-6 plugs on a metal bracket

Yeah I hope so too. I thought it was the dimmer switch too. I also realize that I have no headlight chime either when I open the door with the key out of the ignition.

It's a square dash. I'll see what I can do when I get some free time. I have no dash illumination now which sucks at night.

I'm at 250 miles in my 93 lol

Looks good I'll add that to the bottom of the list of to dos lol

Do anything g that will make it easier for you even if it takes you a little longer. I removed my wheel to give more elbow room.

Nike: just do it

Post a night shot.

I plan on doing the same thing too today after work. I have less than a 200 miles since the rebuild and I'm sure the motor will run a little bit better afterwards. I also need to put together a quick crankcase oil catch can. I currently have the valve covers free venting. I'm also going to try and replace the fuel filter too. I have a nasty exhaust leak which sounds like it's coming from the exhaust bank. Crap.

I need to change out my fuel filter too. I bet it's full of rust from my Rusty gas tank. What's the difference with the maxima Maf? I have the vg30 so I know it's narrower in the opening. So the fuel hose size is 5/16th? I'll pick up some after work.

First off, check for codes and start there. That's a lot of oil to be losing. Burning oil will eventually clog your cats. Fast. This will cause performance issues as its creating excessive backpressure. If there is any leaking, the rear main seal along with the valve covers is very common due to the rubber seals drying up and shrinking. Roaring if the fan is signs of a seized fan clutch. You can spin the fan by hand and see if it spins a little . If it does you're OK. It should have sought resistance. If it doesn't spin or is really hard to spin that means it's sticking. A stuck fan clutch will suck a lot of power from the motor and make it loud.

So the IAC was the culprit?

Looks good. Might want add a distance shot.

So I got two citations as it shows in the scanned ticket but the system only has me for just the parking in a fire Lane violation... I'm hoping the system does catch the slip. Let there be a leniency upon me! So much for my winch fund.

Larger tires and offsets create additional stress on the balljoints, steering components, and the cv axleshafts. You should be ok though. Take it easy on the skinny pedal and wheel smart. It would be a good time to practice your cv shaft replacement skills just in case lol
