  1. I gotta hop on this band wagon,I would agree with B on the CV shaft and add a busted belt in a tire.
  2. I've been in cars that would down shift when you lift off the gas,and others that wouldnt shift out of a gear,but I've never heard of this.So I'm sorry but I cant be of any help.Will it start if you shut it off?If so its not stuck in drive or anything.But this is the basics,check the shift linkage(you have the floor mounted RE4R01A) and the throttle wire.
  3. Well,just reading the wont run above 3500 rpm I would think its a cat or air intake problem(is there a hole in the air intake hose)If its an auto it maybe the tranny going into limp home mode(top speed 45mph,and 35oorpm)But in this case I dought it.It could very well be a bad seal on the intake hose.As far as the coil still sparking with the key off,I have no idea.
  4. Your never onthe 'ho any more...please come back to the dark side,we have cookies

  5. Mine has the same problem(pathfinder),but it also has a leak someplace that I can find.I have no idea why but try replacing the over flow hose if you have one.Or at least take it off and see if it colapses if you suck on it.
  6. Easy fix,get JGC coils and put them on,they wont ever rub.As for your Oil cooler(I'm guessing tranny cooler) get one with more then a 18,000 gvw rating.
  7. The triton v8 in genral have the Shooting spark plug problem,Ok...But Ford had a recall on them.
  8. Yes,my o2 f150 fx4 has 17 wheels.I was saying that I drove my pathfinder with a wrong size tire for 15k. I would see if that wheel will fit,I cant remeber the year but one still f150 wont fit anything less then 17s...The v6 isnt a bad engine but the 4.6 v8 is pretty gutless for a 8 and they have problems with stripping the plug holes in the heads.And the 5.4 is the best,builds good torqe down low in the rpm range.
  9. Your fine,I ran a 245-75-16 with 3 245-70-16s for 15k and nothing bad happen.I have the same truck as you by the way,there good trucks and lets hope you got one with the 5.4 triton.
  10. Turn you heater on and with the engine running and open it,if the engine is hot use a rag to shield your self from the first squirt...
  11. Do what I did,go buy a cheap beater for driving/commuting.I got a 99 saturn sl1 and it gets nearly 40mpg going 80mph
  12. Black and white with The Bear written on the side... I cant stand any light blue colar,to me it looks like somebuddy ate a ton of blue flavored snow cones and barfed.I voted the dark shade.
  13. I got a class 2,I also have the install instructions,I post them up in the am...
  14. I'm guessing its one of these since it did go away with fresh gas and oil. And yeah,Pennzoil blows dead goats,it looks used compaired to quaker state that I usally use.Its just that I have at the momet 26 quirts of 10-w40 that I need to use up of the stuff.
  15. Fan or you could try some of that purple ice or what ever,it will cool the water temp by up to 18f
  16. Yawn,I'm not saying you screwed,but if it is indeed Farked and you need to pull the head,the head is not junk,even if the treads dont clean up with a good chasing from a tap,you can put a Helicoil in to fix it.
  17. No such thing as a Good rubber fuel line,you put it on and then you need to buy a new car,they split/rot and spray gas all over you engine causeing a fire,rubber is for sex,not fuellines.
  18. Mine was try to stall when I hit the brakes too,I'm not sure why but it did go away...
  19. Alrighty then,I have a 95 pathfinder xe 4x4 with a blown auto(still has reverse,1st and half of second) and the 3.0 vg30e v6.It has always run very well but this last problem it had is a monster.It started about a month ago,I started it up after sitting for about a week and it was missing,badly,it sounded like it was hitting on 3-4 cylinders and was kinda louping along like it had a monster came.It did not want to rev,it went to 3k would sit there a little bit and then go up to red line.It was also pushing a ton of white smoke like a head gasket let go,but it wasnt a head gasket,it did not smell like antifreeze burning,smelled like bad gas.So I let it idle for like a hour to burn as much of the gas in there as possible.I put 5 gallons of freesh stuff in and it idled better but still had a miss.I check the oil again and it was black as coal and smelled like gas.I changed it and the filter with fresh pennzoil and the miss has gone away and it runs just fine now. I dont understand this,is it that gas is getting past my rings into the crank?It doesn burn a little oil,nothing bad but if you sit and spin the tires in mud or something for 30 seconds theres acloud of blue smoke by the tail pipe and you can smell it burning.Could it be a bad injector(s) thats running rich causeing this problem(the white smoke?)
  20. I think mine did the same think,but make sure your just not noticing the convertor locking up.It will drop a few hundred rpm when it does this.They will also doe this when cold,mine would run at nearly 3k before kocking the convertor and dropping to 2600 at 55.
  21. Crazy northern folk...

  22. Those are not mag wheels...those are Alloy...Mags are totally diffrent...
