  1. 2 weeks ago I start the truck in morning and begin to back up. She dies like she runs out of gas. Then absolutely nothing. Couple hours later starts up runs 5 or 6 seconds dies like out of gas.

     

    Change fuel filter the next week, runs like a champ. Do a couple of test runs up and down the street it's fixed. Take the kids to school then go to get on interstate and she dies when I excellerate to merge (5 miles from house). Will not restart.

     

    A buddy pulls me home park her for a week, just for kicks I started her yesterday and she runs fine, couple of test runs up and down the street no problem.

     

    WTF?

     

    Friday I will empty gas tank, and try some new gas, really don't want to change the fuel pump if it's not broke. I thought when fuel pumps fail they fail totally. Any Ideas what else to look at if changing the gas doesn't help?

     

    No engine lights no warning, completely shuts down like it's out of gas.

  2. Wife said no new lawnmower unless new shed appears. Hurricane destroyed last one so here we go. Thanks Home Depot for delivering the correct materials to the house.

    This will some day be a shed.

     

    Thought if built the skids upside down they would be easier to nail and just flip over afterwards. Unfortunately I was too weak to make the flip.

    Then rubs it in with rainbow.

  3. Change the fuel filter this morning and notice exhaust smoke coming from the engine compartment below the air intake hose. Basically the 1" hose that holds in place broke. Just curious what it is. Polution Pump or something? see pics.

     

    Thanks Dag.

  4. Posting a question for Bobby He lost a his h2o pump and is replacing along with t-chain. Followed all the directions for the t-belt install and lined up motor, sprockets, and belt. Started it up to check and fired up nicely, but smelled smoke.

     

    Went back to inspect and the timing cover was touching the belt. fixed and no problem. Doing so he noticed the belt marks no longer lined up with the motor and sprocket.

     

    What caused this? did the belt stretch or somehow jump a couple of teeth? He question is "Since the timing is fine, should he remove the belt and re-install with the belt marks in the correct place.

     

    I told him if it runs fine, leave it alone but I really dont know. Has anyone else had this happen, does the belt stretch? Should he take it back down and re-install the belts with marks in the correct place?

     

    Anyway he is at his dad's with no internet, so if someone with some belt experience could chime in I'll pass it on.

     

    Thanks, Dag

  5. There are guys who do it here. (Old motor oil+kerosene.)But I'm not sure how legal it is.

    Sorry if it offends anybody,but if it stops the salt from completely destroying my Pathfinder

    The slight damage to the environment won't keep me up at night. :hide:

     

    my '95 is already rusty. just trying to slow the rot down a bit.

    Fixed the frame with 1/4 plate.

    Took the fender flares off (anybody want 'em) because they were causing rust.

    Was going to trim 'em back anyway to fit larger tires. :aok:

     

    I HATE road salt!!!! Only good thing about rust is once your rig starts to rot you don't care about

    cutting it up & wheeling it.

    I had a great little Suzuki Samurai that still ran beautiful but literally rotted away to nothing.

     

     

    Dude PM me, I'd love sum fender flares.

     

     

    To get back on subject move to SE Louisiana, sweat your Arse off and wonder what roadsalt is.

  6. It probably has a lot to do with the people you are around. My dad's a pitiful alcoholic, and my mom is convinced it's hereditary. She's pretty much fanatical about not drinking.

     

    If it affects your health, relationships, or employment and you can't do without even one day...

     

    Some self examination might be needed.

  7. id like to thank you for your how to install JGC coils, made my life alot easier and didnt hit me in the wallet eather. Probally helped out a few more people too. Thanks again :crossedwires:

     

     

    Ditto, but my thanks comes 3 years too late.

  8. I like to put down a few and hit the woods behind my house. Never think twice about it. It's deeply wooded with heavy bogs. About the worse that could happen is get stuck. It's all 1st gear driving.

     

    My opinion changes if others are involved or on a private off-road trail. That is absolutely never for me because of the risk to others and the property owner who was kind enough to make his/her trails available to the public.

     

    Curious if the consensus was the same, or if I'm way off base.
