Nissan Truck 2WD

I know this has been discussed endlessly on this forum, but I haven't followed the radiator/cooling issue for a few years, and want to find the best current recommendations. The nice all-aluminum radiator I have had my '97 80 series for more than 10 years decided to fail (in the middle of Death Valley!). I couldn't see it, but a mechanic I trust put a pressure tester on it, and saw a hole he said could not be repaired. The truck has always run warmer than I like, so I want to replace the...

I don’t know how to really introduce my self so I will introduce my truck instead. My truck is a 1977 Dodge D100 club cab with a 318 and a 4 on the floor. I bought it of my grandfather when I was 15 and spent the winter and spring making it run after it sat abandoned at a saw mill for a undetermined amount of time. I am now 16 with a drivers permit. The truck is good enough to putt around but has no license or insurance (so I can’t even drive it on the road yet) I am here for advice on hot... Read more

Goofy DPF notices. I'm at 44K miles now. I had this exact same thing happen maybe 3 years ago and it cleared on it's own. Now, it occurred again yesterday on a 90 mile round trip driving at a constant 1900 RPM. Truck runs fine so I suspect it will, as before, clear itself. Tomorrow I have a 220 mile round trip to Phoenix and will again be driving a constant 1900 - 2200 RPM Your opinions on this, please.

Good morning all! I'm changing jobs and will be working from home again. This means that I'll likely park the truck and it may sit for anywhere from 3-6 months or more. It's a 26 PW. To prepare for this I've already bought an installable 2 amp battery tender that I'll get in this weekend, but I was thinking I should ask what else I need to do to prepare the truck for intermediate term storage. So I would appreciate any guidance you may have on the topic. Let me explain the... Read more

My buddy picked up a 1957 Dodge D100 that was missing the engine and transmission and probably hadn't run since the late 1960's. He dropped it off nearly 4 years ago come December. The rest of the truck was all there, and most amazingly, it was void of any significant rust even in the corners of the cab. This became my first full build, after having restored and resto-modded a couple of my own Mopars. We discussed what he wanted to end up with, and plotted out a plan and a time frame that...

It's just past spooky season but I have a tale that might scare a few of y'all.. Every since I bought my truck (2008 LC) the tailgate has been really... squishy. Like uncomfortably unnecessarily so. Not solid like every other LC tailgate I've experienced. Maybe a PO had a party on it? At first I thought it was just the cables but looking closer the entire bracket (that the latch striker and cable mount are on) was flexing significantly on both sides (see video). Not great, and after... Read more

Well I didn’t know how bad I needed it till I saw it. Introducing my new to me 1981 FJ45 Troopy. Thanks @wytrooper I’ve had a 40 for a few years and love it to death, even have a 12HT/H55/splitcase ready to drop in, but something was nagging me about it being a bit tight in the rear seat for both my boys and our full size dog, so enter the solution! When I bought our 40, we only had one kid, and now there’s two! This truck is in really really nice and very original shape. Initial... Read more

Just purchased our first Ram truck. Have always owned crewcab Tundras but with the problems with their new 32K motor blowing up that was out of the question. Looked at GMC with the baby diesel but never owned one and fuel is more expensive that gas plus regular maintenance is a bit more also. Ended up with the 25 Ram LoneStar with the Night and BigHorn packages 4x4 CrewCab. This truck puts the Tundra to shame in every possible way!! The ride is amazing and it is quiet inside and out, it also... Read more

Curious about this buzzing sound. I have been hearing this somewhat random buzzing sound from my 2026 Tungsten since the day I got it.. It seems harmonic driven by the load and RPM on the i6 Hurricane. If you have heard this in your truck, were you able to isolate what is making that sound, were you able to stop it? Sample of the buzzing sound. Dash buzzing I6 Hurricane is this normal ? Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube. youtu.be

Hi Everyone, I bought the riser (windshield) cowl and horiztonal cowl from Nick at North East Classic Ford. They are welded into the truck. I used a galz coat weld-through primer from Seymour for any seams I would not be able to get to after welding. Can someone point me in the right direction for prepping these panels for painting now that they are welded in? I am going to sand down my welds and correct any that need fixing prior. I am not exactly sure what is the proper process to... Read more

Hello fellow mudders! I am curious if anyone has done fuel pressure testing on their 1FZ. I believe I may have a leaky injector, bad fuel regulator, weak fuel pump, or clogged filter. My 94’ 1FZ has lost power intermittently over the past month while the truck is under load, all at different speeds. I believe I have this issue down to a fuel problem. After reading some other threads, I am still unsure how exactly to test my fuel pressure due to their not being a schrader valve preconnected... Read more

Burla said: We now have solid-state batteries = total game changer!!! Future batteries will likely outlast the truck, but the added tech may mess with that. Click to expand... You can't open that can of worms and not expect a discussion. Have any of the battery manufacturers begun large-scale production yet, or are they still working out the bugs? The biggest problem with solid-state batteries may finally be solved Researchers solved the mystery of how soft lithium dendrites crack the hard ceramic inside solid-state batteries, triggering short circuits. The breakthrough could help engineers b…

I have a 2014 Ram 1500 with a 3.6 liter V6 engine. I suddenly have a bunch of codes and the engine acts like it wants to stall when you first begin to drive. I highly doubt three O2 sensors went out at the same time but who knows. The truck only has 47,000 miles on it. We are on social security and like to DIY things as much as we can. I would like to post and see if you guys have any ideas. Thanks, Confirmed Codes These issues have been confirmed by the onboard diagnostics. P1129... Read more

Mine has starting squealing like a banshee (at least this is what I imagine a screaming banshee sounds like.) 3-belt 87 with compressor on passenger side, under alternator, and a tensioner under the compressor. Have been searching (forum, FSMs, SOR diagrams) but can't find the procedure. Found notes about the compressor being solid-mounted, to adjust the tensioner which has reverse-thread. I'm not with the truck this second, but when I last looked this morning, I thought sure there was a... Read more

I have the pieces now. I have a LA 318. Plan is to put together a 318 2bbl using 318 parts. No performance work, but using the best of the parts that came on any factory 318 (including magnums). I'm using stock exhaust manifolds and in this case they are LA truck manifolds, and a Y-pipe into single exhaust. HERE IS THE KICKER: I'm not disclosing the parts I've selected. I'm curious on what YOU would select. Again, no performance work such as porting, decking, boring, cam regrinds... Read more

hey everyone, just a heads up. I stopped by REI yesterday to get a JetBoil to carry in my truck for trips, encase I wanted some coffee or tea. The sales guy said they were having a 25% sale on items starting Friday. The JetBoil was one of them. Also he said something about members getting 20% off a second item.

LMC Truck doesn't have one. Neither does NAPA. They tell me that the 1989 and 1990 models are different that the pre 1997 models and the 1991 model and that the 1989-1990 model is discontinued. What is the difference. NAPA gave me a part number of 52004263.

I have a 2022 Laramie (v6) and this year, I have had issues where the voltage would drop enough to not crank almost every day, so I figured its on the way out. But I just reached my 4th year recently on the brand new truck - So I want to know is this normal for RAM batteries to die so early. I have had other vehicles with AGM batteries last me 10+ years even when those vehicles don't get used as much. The temps in the south have just started to dip into 40's in the early mornings, so I... Read more
