  1. Yea, just don't go driving across Kansas, Texas or Oklahoma without it...haha.
  2. Strut spacers with the AC lift will kill your CVs. An unmodified LSD is about as good as a gerbil under the hood. Go for a Locker.
  3. I figured. I just use my check card. It's faster than cash, and the money comes from the same place....
  4. If I can get a very high resolution copy of the image file, and the font files, I can create a DWG and DXF of it.
  5. I didn't set them up...He asked me to do it, but I didnt have the time.
  6. It's coming through the cowl for the heater. You have a clogged drain somewhere.
  7. Pre-Pay is where you take cash in to the guy in the store and say..."I want $20 (or however much) on pump #4", and then go pump it and it stops at $20, not when the tank is full. You can't accurately compute your fuel economy if you don't fill the tank.
  8. Ahh...he doesn't either, as he asked me to set them up for him.
  9. Provided you completely fill the tank and don't prepay.
  10. DTC = Diagnostic trouble code - a malfunction stored in the ECM. It wouldn't necessarily trigger the MIL, but it might hurt your gas mileage. Reset the trip odometer when you fill-up. The gas gauges are NOT accurate in these trucks at all, so you cannot possibly know how many gallons have been used to accurately calculate MPG to 2 decimal places. Here's what I do. I reset my trip odometer at every fill-up. I always fill the tank completely until the automatic shutoff. I get a reciept and record the total vehicle mileage on the reciept. I use the trip odometer and average MPG I've seen over the past few fill-ups to estimate approximately at what mileage I'll need to fill up. I then record the fuel purchase into an Excel spreadsheet including, date, cost, gallons purchase, total vehicle mileage, etc.... I then calculate the MPG by dividing the miles travelled (trip odometer), by the gallons purchased. Never top-off your tank, as that will effect your calculations. It will also cause problems with the pressurized fuel system, and create problems with the EVAP system.
  11. Don't make me say "I told you so" Roddy!
  12. Wow, that's awful. I've got 32s, two different HO2S codes, EVAP codes, and a bunch of other emissions related problems (melted cats), and I'm getting 17.5-18mpg on the highway, and that was at 75-80mph on the way to and from Tuscon. At those speeds, whether you have the AC on or the windows down, the fuel economy is going to be pretty much the same because of the drag caused by the open windows is going to be about the same as the added load on the motor from the AC compressor. Do you have any DTCs?
  13. I had the Bosch PT +4s in my old car, and it LOVED them. So I figured I'd try them in the Pathfinder. It pinged like a SOB and I noticed an immediate 5mpg decrease in fuel economy.
  14. It's another model of Nissan SUV that isn't offered in North America. We all drool profusely over them because they're so badass. Solid axles, locking diffs, all kinds of goodies.
  15. There isn't really much of a security system. It's mostly just a keyless entry system. You say it's "not working," but what is or isnt it doing?
  16. The cruise control is regulated by that small vac line that runs to the air-box. If that is leaking, or not connected properly, then it wont work. Check to make sure there aren't any leaks in the lines themselves. Otherwise, does the truck exhibit any of the common symptoms of a vac. leak?
  17. It's possible, but I've never heard anything about that. There are plenty of them on the market, I'd try to find a better one.
  18. I would pass on it. Lifter or other valve clatter is an indication that it was neglected.
  19. Wrong Alex. You need to use proper gear oil in the recommended weight with an LSD Additive, otherwise you won't have an LSD anymore.
  20. It's very "general." Doesn't give torque specs, doesn't give detailed instructions, etc. It does have actual photographs of components which is nice. I use my Hayne's along side my Nissan manuals.
  21. Those things are crap. Purely cosmetic.
  22. So, you're saying that the belt was aligned before you cranked it 2 revolutions, but it was mis-aligned afterwards?
