I didn't replace the water pump, but I did replace all chains, tensioners, and guides. I also had the fan clutch done. I'm hoping the water pump wont come back to bite me!

Thanks guys, I've been running Mobil 1 synthetic since 40k miles. I'm up to almost 130k now. I was planning on doing a 2k-3k oil change.

Well she is finaly about done. Does this color look good or bad for a 2006 with 130k miles? Looks pretty dark to me.

Yes, im using all Nissan parts and replacing the fan clutch as well. Im hoping to get it back this week.

So I've got it in the shop now. It sat for 3 weeks waiting on them to get time to do it. For the price I'm paying, I'd wait 6 months!! But wouldn't you know it has warmed up and now the only noise you can hear is the fan since my fan clutch is dead as well. I played them the video I made and the tec...

My ride is a lot stiffer in the back. She does seem to handle a bit better. Im very satisfied.

I went with Centric premium rotors and ceramic pads from Amazon for about 235$ total. I'm very pleased so far. They so sell these at Rockauto as well.

I'm no mechanic, but I've read that not being carefull with the drive shaft can cause vibrations and such. Being you just had the u joints replaced someone might have goofed?

I'll keep looking. Most techs seem to be avoiding this like the plague!

This job must be a bear! I know 3 mechanics that do work on the side and none of them are interested in doing the job! Since you live nearby SMJ999smj, can you possibly recommend anyone? I may just need to bite the bullet and take the 1800$ bid. 1800 may not be the worst price.

One last question, I'm trying to make this job easier on the mechanic that is going to do this job for me. I'm only going to be paying about 400$ for his labor, and that includes all, 3 chains, guides, tensioners, seals the water pump, and fan clutch. How can I locate the two tools that make this jo...

So I've found a tech from a shop that is willing to do the work on the side for around 400$ plus parts. I've used the service bulletin NTB07-042 to get a list of parts from coutesyparts.com including the water pump,and fan clutch. My question is, should I do this or get one of the many timing chain ...
