i was using it because i was experiencing spark knocks and it helps take them away.. im thinking if i get a new knock sensor it will cure it but that will kind of expensive.. anyway my truck has about 130-140k miles.. so its better for it anyway.. it runs better.. i dont believe its necessary

heck yeah measure that mother up.. when i get to my duty station.. ill get my sign on bonus.. and i was looking at dropping up to 3k into this new motor thing.. and i might even do a 5.7 and since the 350 will fit i might see what i can do about a 5.6 endurance..

wow.. man i love this Pathfinder brotherhood stuff.. haha.. you guys are great, ok i gotta study for this radio frequency test.. ill check into it more.. there is a free diagnostics shop on base.. they might be able to find it.. ill keep ya posted though.. thanks a bunch..

yeah but if you can fit a small block chevy in there a 4.2 has to fit..

ill graduate sep 17th.. prolly be coming through indiana on the 23rd or 24th.. it really depends on my girl though cus i want to spend as much time with her as possiblle before i leave.. i just found out she is trying to get orders to the persian gulf.. so id never see her until my first orders were done.. im prolly not gonna reenlist.. anyway.. i dunno im having second thoughts just for that fact.. and i need to put about 2000k miles on it when i graduate so it may not be the best thing to do.. but ill decide soon. it depends on how much money i get put into my pathy..

i wouldnt be able to go on the 11th.. that is my last weekend here and i want to spend it with my girl.. cus after this school i will only get to see her 30 days out of every year for 4 years.. then im done.. anyway.. after the the 23rd or 24th would be killer.. if not ill go up there on my own..

how would i go about checking codes.. i suppose i could always stop by the old dealership and see if they would let me use their tool.. if not would i be able to get a cheap one.? cus i really wanna know what the dealio is

id like to have the 4.2 i dunno.. either one would be nice..

ok so i got my pathy from ohio to chicago no probs.. but im thinking im gonna have to sink some money in for a knock sensor.. im not sure how much.. but after that id love to organize a trail run at attica.. however im running a little under stock with 30x9.50 rather then the stock 31x10.50.. i dont know how well i could do there but im up for anything.. what would be really nice is i graduate sep 17th.. and am on leave until oct 11th.. if we could organize something around the 23rd or 24th of sep that would be sweet.. however due to my limited schedule i might just go out there on my own.. if i do that ill make my mom give me her digital camera so i can finally get some pictures on here. anyway we can figure something out.. id really like to do a trailrun with some pathy buddies before i go to pascagoula mississippi.. im sure there are some people down there.. and some excellent trails.. which means im gonna have to start a new topic to find those peeps.. let me know whats up.

so i was thinking more and more about a diesel cus im getting tired of using 93 octane.. anyway the reason im bringing this up is because when i get to my first duty station i was gonna order an engine from japan.. but i was thinking that a diesel would be fun.. plus id get to learn how to work on a diesel.. which i would really like to know because i am exposed to so many different engines and vehicles

when i replaced my water pump the timing belt was removed. my neighbor had a manual with all cars from 72-02 with a timing belt.. so my timing was set to the vg30e on a maxima because the Pathfinder was not in the book.. im assuming its because there are several models that used the vg30e. so i know the timing was done correct. and if the knock sensor is bad how much am i looking at spending. i used to work for a dealership so im thinking they might be able to help me out a little bit.. and i just took a trip from dayton ohio to chicago illinois in it.. it did alright, but i did notice some power loss.. but she purred all the way up.. 145k and still kickin like a mule. anyway thank you so much for the help..

ok so my stuff knocks or pings at about 2000-4500 rpms especially when going up hill. my mechanics at the shop thought it was spark knocks. they suggested i use a better gas.. so ive been using super which took away the majority of the noise. however it is beginning to come back. so i used the carbon cleaner stuff. the works.. through the intake the gas and the other one. i think the injectors. anyhow this still didnt cure the problem. so i dont know whether my block is just frocked up or what. it doesnt leak oil or anything.. i do however leak brake fluid. which i believe is because on my right rear caliper a pad fell out do to misinstallation so i think the whole caliper locked up.. so its leaking from the line i think.. i tightened it up and there is still leaking so im just gonna replace the whole caliper and line. the fluid drains out of my master cylinder and the other one for the clutch. i dont know if this would cause any of that pinging or not. but it happens.. hopefully not for long.. i did some searches and couldnt find anything too similar to my problem. there was one i replied on but i dont think it was the same. anyway.. if you guys and gals if there are any.. have any suggestions i would appreciate it. on base here they have a shop that gives free diagnostics. so if i dont figure it out by the time i get her here im gonna take it too them.. its really nice after they diagnose it they let you use the shop and tools for free. anywho thanks for any help.. have a good one

i wont be able to make although i would really love to.. ill be going home this weekend to get my truck. and stereo hooked back up. ill be with my girl anyway.. shed freak out if i wanted to go mudding on my first weekend leave from here.. im actually just finishing up the computer side of the course and now im into RF (radio Frequency) i cant wait to finish this stuff up, i got my orders to pascagoula mississippi on ffg-29 the steven w groves. woo hoo my first duty station.. i report october 11th so hopefully we can find a decent trail before i leave. if not oh well ill still be getting on here... where at in kettering are you from?

i grew up in kettering.. right in the neighborhood of nortons bar and grill.. im in chicago right now going to my "A" school for the navy.. but i should be back on aug 13th to pick up my beloved pathy.. ive also lived in west carrollton centerville miamisburg and moraine.. name is jason jones..

when do i get to be an npora regular?

kick a$$

what is a gap guard.. obviously it guards some gap... but where is it?

whats good about our pathys is the door jam goes to the top of the body.. so, at home keep a plastic wedge, such as a door jam.. which might be too soft, and a long metal dowel rod.. thats how we got into almost everything at the dealership i worked for.. if that fails we had so many lockpick kits there.. buuuuuuut since the majority of us are not ase or asc (i dont member which) certified we cant get them.. i tried to buy one off the snap on truck guy and he laughed at me..

will do.. i can actually go three hundred miles from base but prefer not too.. id rather spend more time on the trail then on the highway.. plus if something breaks its easier to get back if im not too far..

lucas for me.. that crap does it right

i did my t belt when i had to change waterpump.. all three of em had factory indentations.. i dunno what theyre called it was still a hassle.. i hope i never have to do it again..

once again i didnt read all the replies cus im short on time so forgive me if i repeat someone.. i did something very similar.. i found out mine cant swim either... i had water coming up over the hood.. well my alternator took a big dump on me.. im not sure how you would go about testing it to see if it is working but my crapped out so check it.. yours might have too.. my airbox was drenched too but i didnt take any water into the engine.. from what ive heard of my buddies with pathys the engines rarely take drinks when you go deep.. good luck with your circuit board stuff... oh yeah the one under my driver seat is some idle control crap

sounds good... i gotta drop some cash into the pathy first.. hopefully i can take care of it

also jack up the front end a little so the tires are about an inch off the ground.. that it with the stock 31x10.5 that helps it get into the system a little faster.. leave it running and fix the cc so it is at about 1500 to 1800 for about 10 mins.. thats how we used to do it at the dealership...

92 se stock.. know enough to get me buy and a little more.. US Sailor here chicago illinois hometown is dayton ohio
