RedRider3141 Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 Today, did some more investigations into my P1110 code issue. Washed it. Got all of the moss, algae, growing plants, and pounds of pine needles off of it. Sure is a pretty paperweight! Your car sounds just like mine (I still haven't washed it this year) Washington sure is a great place for cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vagabond Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 went to pickapart and grabbed the shift quadrant out of the QX4 pulled the console and removed the stock shifter and cut off the mounting studs drilled the mounting holes and mounted the new shifter. Replaced the console and finished the install. For some reason I;m having probs loading pics here so theyre at photobucket http://s1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc362/dosvagabonds/QX4%20console/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KovemaN Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Replaced my UCA anchor bolts and alignment spacers that had shaken loose on my last wheeling trip. Even if you check everything before a trip, you can still have random crap go bad. I'm just lucky they didn't let go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesRich Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 got the Taurus fan installed!!!! yeah me!!!! Received my new headlight harness....hooked it up and the high beams dont come on....just low beams... ...hmmmmmnow time to figure that one out I've had a headlight harness sitting behind the seat for over a year! I'm planning to install a relay box to hook it to because I don't want too much stuff connected to my battery post, already have the winch. one day I'll get to it.

1994SEV6 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Tried to change a tie rod end. Didn't work out for me. With my genius self, I concluded that I should buy an entire tie rod assembly. Trying to unbolt one tie rod end from a very old adjustment sleeve wouldn't work. Any tips with this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBB Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 replaced rear shocks that looked like they may have been original equipment (stamped 'nippon' on side). tried to get front shocks done but had trouble loosening lower bolt. sprayed them with deep creep and try again another day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nunya Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Pulled the flares and got 1 rocker worth of bodywork at the point I just need to paint.

Mr.510 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Today my new (used) ECU finally showed up so I swapped it in. No codes, no hesitation, and the the VG34i finally hauls azz again. I also noticed that the trans shifts differently now than with the original ECU. It would seem that the ECU has more to do with when the TCU wants to shift the trans than I was lead to believe. I punched it at 60mph this evening and it dropped to 2nd gear and spun to almost 6k rpm before upshifting back to 3rd. It had never revved past 5500rpm while in Drive the whole time I've owned the truck until tonight. I also swapped back to my 'street' 33s. Now I gotta figure out where I'm going to store $1k worth of Swampers when they aren't being held down by a Pathfinder.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I ever saw loose traction at 60 mph was my Dad's dodge cummins with a banks power pack on it. You gonna need a new trans soon! Now your making me want to leave the throttle body on mine. What kind of fuel mileage has that VG34 been getting? James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msavides Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Replaced my 9 year old optima red top with a new optima yellow top. seems I was using the wrong battery in my truck, since it runs Hid lights and a winch. I probably would have bought another red top except that the yellow top was the same price as the red top at autozone. Next will be to get it smogged on Saturday morning. I hope it passes. Wish me luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towncivilian Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) Replaced the dead rear defroster main light bulb. Only took me half an hour; those switches are easier to reassemble than I remember, because I was doing it completely wrong the last time I opened them. Only problems are I didn't move the blue condom light filter to the new bulb so it looks off-color and brighter, and the spring now has resistance and makes noise (maybe I should have regreased it while it was open).
