zero, especially after 40K - its meaningless. As others have said, if you are buying a running / driving car, you expect it to run and drive.

you didn't open the pdf. its a wedge

Is there a TSB on the torque on Gen 3? I know there is one on Gen 2 3.0l (SR-01-002) to increase it to 134 ft/lbs . FSM for the 3.8l Gen 3 says 137 ft/lbs. I went with that.

The Bilstein numbers above handle the OME medium springs just fine. I run them on my '05. About 1.5" lift from stock. Do the springs at the same time, cost is ~$170 a pair for springs. It is a lot of work to remove and replace the front shocks. Labor on a very good day is 3 hours for the...

Dealer did my 97K service and didn't replace the Crank bolt. Updated mine at 172K.

No visual inspection where I am at. They only plug into the OBD2 and read the info.

Just did the '05 last week. 73K on the second OEM belt which was replaced the first time at 97K miles. Currently the truck has 172K miles and did the Aisin kit plus OEM tensioner this time. The belt that was removed with 73k on it looked new. It was in service about 53 months as a daily driver.

well, they don't have struts...

I had a RTT tent (conventional canvas style) for a few years, got sick of hanging like a monkey on top of my truck trying to set it up and take it down, install the cover. Truck was too tall and I'm too short. Sold it with minimal loss, $300 for 2 years use.

I used 42009

I replaced the 4 o2 sensors in my '05 a little more than 4 years ago due to a cat not ready code, that worked for 8 months. At that point I did the non-fouler trick on the 2 post cat O2's and cleared the code. Its been clean of codes now for over 3.5 years (est 50k miles) and 2 emissions checks.

Don't know if there is really a difference, might just be mounting holes or something, but car-part does have different listing for the 5 speed '01 - '02 compared to '03 - '06

perhaps try a pair of spark plug non-fowlers on your O2 sensors

Jatco is Nissan IIRC, so there are probably lots of similar transmissions out there that shops would be familiar with.

260K is a lot of miles. I'm at 175K on my '05. Hoping to get to 230 - 240 which shouldn't be an issue. Then it will be done. Guessing current value on mine is $3,500 - $4,000. You should just go shopping,

235's are not great on a Gen 3. Squirley. I've run them for 35K miles. Was so happy to move back to a wider tire.

I may have been wrong. There is reference in the '06 FSM about a knock sensor. Never believe the internet. Anyways, I've run "Premium" a few times over the 100K miles of ownership. Can't conclude it makes a difference. Driving style makes more of a difference in MPG (typically 17 to 19mpg...

Traction control default mode is on. There is a switch to turn it off, but with a key ignition cycle it will go back to default. 4H on snow covered roads unless you are really in a difficult situation.
