Understood. I was worried about that. Need to locate my front diff this week. Also need to make sure i can ride the motorcycle weather wise for a bit. Im assuming ill hit some snag in the switchout so want to leave myself a buffer.

Another question for rappoga: Ok guys heres the deal. Found a 2008 infini qx56 rear end with 40k miles. It has the 3.36 gears and i got it for $400. My plan next weekend is to replace the rear only. Then next weekend do the front. This should not pose a driving problem as long as i dont use 4x4 core...

Rapoga,

Do you happen to know if the differential sideshaft that is in the front differential is the same on the armada and pathfinder V8?

Doctah jones thats my point precisely. Our gearing is really handicapping our trucks. It says a lot that an armada with the 3.36 gearing wehiging 700 lbs more is faster to 60 than ours. Gearing is almost as important as HP itself. I was really dissapointed the first time I drove my truck to realize ...

Ok guys I keep hitting snags. I lost my source on a good set of used ring & pinions. Every credible shop is quoting over 1K for the switch and that includes no parts. I can not find any ring & pinion's used for the life of me and im convinced it is very rare. I can find yards that have 3.36 ...

Why is it that every supplier insists the pathfinder V8 has a ring & pinion from a titan? I lost my rear end gear vendor because after 5 conversations they realized I was right and that the armada has a different rear end. I might have to go with a brand new rear ring & pinion now.

Ya im just trying to keep the cost reasonable. Im also scarred about voiding my warranty. It has been my experience that Nissan will look for any reason to get out of fixing something.

Help needed TODAY with trailer brake wiring

Hey guys, I cant find for the life of me the connections for the 7 pin connector and where the wires go upfront for the break controller. I have installed brake controllers on a couple vehicles and usually I find a digram somehwere to do this. I am doing my airlift 1000 airbags today and wanted to d...

Eureka

Ok i finally located my gears. I ended up having to buy a new front gear set for $360. I located a used set for the rear $180. Now I just need to find a good shop to do this switch. Im not sure if I need to buy the bearing install kit or not? I should have my gears in a couple days and my truck in t...

rragpaoa, Just to clarify. I can use the front 3.36 from a nissan Titan as well right. That might be my answer to this problem. I can not find a single junkyard that will seperate the ring & pinion from a armada diff. Its rare to find an armada in a salvage yard and the 10 yards I talked would n...

Thanks guys. Still cant find sh*t used. I think I am going to just buy a new set for 1K. I plan on keeping this truck for a long time. I am also convinced this gear change will MAKE this SUV what it should be. Gearing is very important.

rragpaoa

I have been searching high and low for a used ring & pinion set. I cant find anything used. Do you know the names of the salvage yards that had the armadas? I can find a new set for around 1K.
