That’s so awesome Josh! Enjoy that extra $3k in your pocket for fixing it yourself!

It was perfect for military appreciation day.

Yes, the low beam is accessible like that on both sides. The high beams are not. The headlight housing has to be taken off to replace them, which means pull off the front bumper. Got a video for that one too!

I didn’t purchase them. The homeowner already had them installed and had ordered another kit for repair parts. I did leave a link to them on Amazon.

As far as other uses, that’s a tough one. You’d need access to an attic if it’s on the ceiling of a room. For the brain and all the wires to be hidden. Maybe on a deck. Don’t know if it’s waterproof tho.

@@HammerWrench I'm installing them right now

Go to your home!!

Power Director. I video with my iPhone and important into the app on the phone. It’s very easy to learn and use.

I think that’s a great plan. It should give more room to wiggle that thing out of there. Just make sure to get the right kit. The back valve cover determines it. It’s pretty easy. It was my first time doing this for Tyler’s van. Just take your time and take pictures/video.

There is a tang that needs to be lifted before it can be pulled off.

I appreciate that compliment Nate. When I fixed my friends car, I had no idea it was a widespread problem that no one was covering. Glad it helped you out and saved you from a new car payment. Nissan should build it better.

If you go with a tuner, 5 star tuning will get you a little more power after you install the SPD Y pipe, gut the cat(if no emissions), and a better muffler. I’ve got some shorts of what that sounds like.

@HammerWrench Thanks I watched them and many of you videos last night

Thank you for watching and hope it helped you out.

I use Forscan on a laptop and a ELM327 scanner with usb hooked to the laptop. It’ll show you which are misfiring. Or the manual way is to unplug the wire to the coil one at a time to see if it gets worse or no change. I would use either Ford coils or ACCEL. Knock offs don’t last long.

That’s awesome! The residue is probably due to a leak at the windshield or at the 3rd brake light running to the front on top of the headliner. So glad u found it and posted!!

Pinned your comment to help others.

Yes sir! I’m glad I read the paperwork that said it’s tuned to be close to most engines. Otherwise I’d been twisting screws and be frustrated!

I only changed the bulbs. The bulb sockets were soft and gooey so a bit after the video, I had to cut the wires to stop the shorting. The water remained an issue. You may could splice new bulb sockets onto the ends and solve that problem tho.

@HammerWrench Thanks, man. i will have to try that. i replaced my bulbs as well, but the sockets look melted, but the connection looks fine. i will have to splice new sockets in or upgrade to the led unit. I hope this gets rid of my instant short on fuse it would last a few cycles on my driver side window switches, then blow, now it's instant. Thanks again

If that works for ya, post it back here to help others. Thanks man.

Yes, it is good practice to use those products. This was the first brake job for the car. It was under 20k miles and the pad change was due to chatter and seizures of the rear pads in reverse. Certainly odd behavior for a new car. The change did resolve the issue but there was no evidence as to why it began.

@@HammerWrench The squeaking of the brakes disappeared because during the replacement there was minimal cleaning of the guides on the brake pad support. But things can come back when unlubricated guides oxidize.

@adamverbik8920 the noise only happened in reverse.

@@HammerWrench I know about it. When you move backwards, the brake shoe touches the disk with the other edge and a small shift occurs. But if it cannot shift smoothly on the grease, it starts to squeal. This happens, for example, with doors with poorly lubricated hinges, when you can open without squeaking and close only with a squeak. Or vice versa.

@adamverbik8920 thank you for your input. I’ll put those to use in future repairs in or off video.

Those would help you see. Wearing socks on stairs will help you get down them briskly!!

Thank you. It’s stressful learning a new system. Editing makes it look easier than it is.

They were a little too big. Cleatis would find something else to quality control.

You need size long/skinny gloves. 😀

Can you? Yes. Should you? No. Those tubes are rubber or plastic and if the wire nicks a hole in the tube, it’s leaking inside forever.

Yes! In doing so it makes sure it’s clocked in the same position as the stepper motor stob, thus not stripping it out when one reaches its limit.

@HammerWrench so ill be able to notice the notch in there ? N use my finger to move it or a tool

@James-929 I used my finger to roll the door blade to output heat in the vent while having the motor plugged in and seeing it roll the same direction. Leave the air running if the door stays in position and install the motor.

@HammerWrench thank u. I'm gonna tackle project as soon as nissan gets stepper motor in.

@James-929 awesome! The hardest thing is getting contorted into the footwell to install. Let me know how it goes.

Je ne parle pas français. J'ai ajouté des sous-titres français. Revenez bientôt pour qu'il soit mis à jour.

I don’t know for certain. But expecting 8-12 mpg. Didn’t buy it for mpgs tho

Thanks! Spent its life in California until 2020.

Me too! It’s been a LONG 2 weeks of it just sitting!

Leads to sparky stuff!

I’ve loved them for decades too!

I did not have that problem. Don’t even know where to start suggesting where to look! Wonder if one of the trunk hinges are touching a speaker wire and grounding it in the trunk.

I would imagine it is the same. They usually change body panels in updates but leave the underlying systems the same.

I’m not sure about the thermostat. If there is an auto climate button, then it would adjust the doors without manual input. I wonder if the stepper motor stob spun inside the white bore. That would create the issue again. If the door isn’t at the same position that the motor is calling for based on the knob, the door would reach its limit and the motor would force adjustment until it slipped or cracked the bore.

So glad you found it too! I videoed the Hurricanes games for the last 5 seasons so you may find another in there somewhere. Our sons were #88 and #99.

Definitely do the X pipe. The 3rd cat delete and replace with straight pipe and the muffler delete made it WAY too much like country boy truck sound. Lots of pops on accel and decel. The X should tone it down. I’d do a Magnaflow muffler if I did it again.

@ Thank you for responding and sorry if my question is silly, but when you say magnaflow muffler are you talking about a magnaflow x pipe muffler that would take place of the 3rd cat ?

I’d just use an X pipe where the 3rd cat is and Magnaflow mufflers out back where the stock mufflers are.

A pair of pliers or vice grips and pull it from the top, freezer side. Should pop out.

For sure! I’ll have a bigger tow vehicle next time!!

Maybe next time the ford will be pulling whatever you need

That is my hope. Haven’t towed much since my Excursion went to heaven last year.

Ends up there is a hole in the carburetor. It was too iffy to try to drive at night. Have driven around the yard. Gotta fix that carb this weekend.

Tried to reduce the tongue weight having it backwards.

You asked a LOT from that 2.8! I bought a tow bar setup live an RV flat tows. Previous owner offered his trailer before i could drill out the bumper and remove the driveshaft.

Absolutely! 100k is like 50 beaters to tinker on! I’d rather do that!

@HammerWrench for real if you have to buy a new carb it's still cheaper than buying a new truck

I’m not a purchaser of new vehicles so repairing is a definite. I am going to patch the carb since the bowl has a hole in it too. Met a fellow bullnose owner that has a box of spare parts. If that doesn’t do it, then a new carb will go in there for sure.

I think it a great truck the one in my screen name picture I got for $3500.oo had to do some work to it but worth it

Leroy, that’s an awesome deal on that Silverado. And fixing it up yourself makes you feel so much better riding in it, and NOT making payments!

Yeah it was not a great situation. Weight forward and I’d be fighting the light steering, weight back and the wagging showed up a few times. Only scary time was when the right tires left the shoulder on some construction zone. Glad we weren’t upside down! Will be better prepared for the future with an ample tow rig.

I’m rebuilding the carburetor right now! It’s my first one so hope it goes smoothly!🛠️

My backup camera never worked. Planned on using a different camera but never got one.

@ smh. Support tried to send me a diagram but I seen in your video you plugged into a cam out gonna play with it

@CecilioConLa6.2 let me know if u get it going so others can use your truck for solving it. Thanks!

I read it was 5500 lbs for the 4.0 2wd with the Class IV hitch. The sketch factor went way up when the trailer tires left the road in a construction area. Underwear almost ruined.

Let’s see how much fuel it can use!!

It was so sketchy, there was a drawing of it!!! lol thought I’d flat tow it with an RV set up if it broke down. Then the guy offered his trailer. How could I say no!!!

You know, not having cool air in summer is rough but not having heat in winter is rude!! Glad you got her fixed!!

😂
