I just replaced my fan clutch with a mid priced one from Rock Auto (not oem) and it seems to roar even more than the old one that I thought was toast! Three questions: 1 - How long is normal for the roar to last on startup? The old one was 5 seconds max - this one is over 2 minutes. 2 - How often do...

Well...the rears took me ~2:45 which was over an hour faster than the front...so kinda!

2 of the 4 needle bearings were actual dust - and after replacing it the truck runs nice and smooth at all speeds

All good - I managed to figure it out - vice grips and a hammer and I got both caps off the ujoint - then it's pretty easy to get the shaft off. I didn't think it would be possible to grip the cap with the vice grip and pull it out, but once it's 3/4 of the way out it moves pretty easy. Also - somet...

I took a risk (not sure if you are supposed to do this) and pushed the one joint/cap back out the other side of the yoke with the press - managed to pull it off with vice grips. Got the new joints installed on the driveshafts and later today I'll get it back on the truck. I did notice how tight the ...

I took a pick - I just cant get it to clear the lip of the yoke - its sooo close but I don't want to get in there and pry on it:

I borrowed a ball joint press and decided to tackle the front driveshaft u joints today - following the instructions here: https://www.thenewx.org/threads/how-to-install-u-joints-without-removing-drive-shaft.34245/ The front one came out easy - I had a bit of trouble trying to get the shaft off afte...

Gotcha - that's kinda what I figured

. Thanks for confirming!

I've noticed the famous vibration at around 60-80km that appears to be u-joints, so I got underneath to check how much play there is. The front two definitely have play - but I can't quite tell how much. I'd say it feels like maybe a mm or less. But with that said it's definitely moving. The back on...

Perfect that answers my questions - thank you! I'll get the whole thing off and hopefully, with a straight angle, the O2 sensor will come out clean

I've picked up a downpipe from Rock Auto and am planning to replace it as the existing one had the flange break apart from the pipe at the engine side connection (and getting it welded was going to cost way more than replacing with a new one). I have a couple questions that I was hoping to ask as I'...

wanted to close the loop here for the benefit of other users :) after doing more testing I figured out that there actually DOES NOT appear to be any parasitic draw. what I did find out was that there was still corrosion on the negative battery terminal and that this was preventing enough voltage fro...

Ya I double checked the cable ends and they are tight. I put the meter on the battery last night and it was 13.35. This morning itâ€™s 10.93. Iâ€™m guessing that isnâ€™t normal? Any suggestions on the best place to start hunting for the parasitic draw? Itâ€™s strange that this just started happening...

Iâ€™ve done some searching here but looking for some guidance on whatâ€™s next. The other day I drove to work - truck was running fine. At the end of the day I came out and the started was just clicking when I tried to start it. I assumed dead battery and had a coworker try to boost me. (I had the r...

OK so the code is 2A00 :) Makes sense - 11 blinks = A I guess. Sounds like an O2 sensor from searching but wondering if anyone else has experienced this and found it to be something else? (apparently the cats were replaced before I bought the truck - hoping it isn't those as I did see some frontier ...

Been searching forums for more info on the mode door actuator - and the best plan of attach for getting at it. (I have clicking when switching between defrost and regular front/floor mode - and only then thank god) Based on this thread it is on the drivers side of the heater assembly - so would that...
