sherwood Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Saw another thread that gave me this idea. -Ripped CV boot, plan on changing the whole CV joint before winter and I think I'm going to try those Rockford Heavy Duty CV boots. -Fuel Pump/Fuel Filter -I have two rust spots I'd like to take care of before winter -And I think I have a ball joint that might need to be replaced soon. -Definitely going to flush out my radiator and heater core as well. Bout' it. What do you guys have to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 New motor and clutch. Not a fault of the truck, I beat the piss out of it and when I first changed the oil after I got it, it was black sludge. The heads were fairly bad ass well and there's a lot of evidence that someone has been into the motor before more than a timing belt change. Other than that, nothing really. Suspension is getting a little tired, with is understandable with 200K on the chassis. My old Pathfinder needed CV axles due to torn boots, MAF sensor, an ECU Coolant Temperature Sensor, and a few other little things. Overall nothing major that were the fault of the vehicle themselves. I tend to be fairly hard on what I drive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wood6078 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 (edited) -cv axles, boots been busted since I started driving it -front seal -tranny leak, no idea where, but it's only bout a quart per 2k miles -bout 4 rust spots on passenger side. Trying to figure out how much of the body I don't want to paint to make it look right -o2 sensor to try to get better than 13/17mpg city/hwy. Don't know if that'll help, but everything I replace still says Nissan on it, even at 170k miles. - front brakes! (brgs and all) I think that's it---hopefully Edited September 2, 2010 by wood6078 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverPath Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Heh I have quite a few items that needs fixing -rattle in my exhaust somewhere -Bad Starter---as long as I have my trusty crescent wrench to beat the starter Im good--- Though it is a pain to have to have 2 people to start the rig -leaky right rear window water just pours in if it rains, so I have black electrical tape around the seam, haha -cracked windshield -make a mount for my intake Ive had a bungee cord holding it up -Fairly decent oil leak coming from somewhere I know there is more sadly I just recently fixed my brakes heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Wheel bearings on the drivers side, they're just starting to make noise. I have a few rust spots to take care of and I also need to get it rustproofed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverPath Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Technically the starter and oil are the only faults on the truck not from me.... Not sure what that says haha ohwell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Whoops, I read the title wrong. I need to do: fix the running issue, wheel bearings/shocks/ball joints/HooHaa CL, spray some silicone in the window tracks and/or clean them out on the driver's side, replace my cracked windshield, replace the front pads and rotors, change the drive train fluids, and replace the driver's seat belt after something tore the crap out of it. Now want to do, that's a whole 'nother story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
