If the clear coat is starting to peel, and you put vinyl wrap over peeling clear coat, the vinyl will stick to the separating clear but not the vehicle that the clear is separating from. Much like the painter's motto, the finish is only as good as the prep. Unless you fix the surface the...

Need to find what axle it is before you can shop for parts for it. I would recommend starting with the RPO codes inside the glovebox. Find the one for the rear axle and search what axle that comes back as. Once you know that then you can start shopping for what will fit it.

Look at overall ratio. Nissan likes a really low ratio in the transmission. Another thing is a taller ratio (the 2.9) is an inherently stronger gear set then a lower ratio. It is also more efficient. Robs less power and that means less fuel burned. Probably never be noticed in the fraction...

Ever consider an air to water intercooler off a 6.7? The resulting water to air radiator is much easier to package. Yes, it adds complexity in adding water as the thermal transfer media. But may gain you simplicity in routing the air ducting. Something to consider.

In '14(?) the Pathfinder got a different CVT that uses a chain instead of a belt. Those appear to be holding up a lot better. But you are still at a gearing loss. They are geared for the highway, not offroad. Low speeds are very dependent on the torque convertor to make the torque. That is...

The '08 has a Dana axle, The '16 and newer have larger AAM axles. Just to fill in a few more data points.

They are the same. The transmission shifter has nothing to do with the 4WD

Do you have the Borg Warner 4472 transfer case or the New Venture 136 transfer case? You may not even have a center diff like you think you do, it might just be a computer controlled slipping clutch pack. Really no modifications you can do to the existing transfer case, only options to replace...

A truck platform gives a roomier cabin since you are not sharing the interior space with the engine. Also make working on it easier wince you can access stuff through the hood. You also tend to get a better ride since you are not sitting so close to the front tires. The downfall of a truck...

Visit your propane parts dealer. Permanent tanks in cars have "gas gauges". Just get one of those setups. The little gauge you go outside and look at, gets an electric sending unit added to it.

Don't panic. Engines get overheated all the time. Yes, things can go bad. But in general they do just fine. Top off the coolant. Mechanical or electric fan? Mechanical you may have smoked the clutch. If it runs warm at idle/low speeds now, put a clutch in. Electric may have popped the...

We have a couple of older 6.0s at work. They are driven in a very commercial application. When they are started, they are driven all day long. No short drives to the grocery store, no commuting empty to work. One had a trailer for 99% of its life, only coming off when the truck went in for...

Stout truck. Like the gas better than the diesel. Good choice. Little big for my use, but if it matches you it is a good choice.

Looks like a good one. '08 was the first year for the good rear diff. No automatic transmission issues. Only thing I see is aftermarket intake. Don't see anything alarming in the pictures. If you like the MT, the 6-speed is a sweet one to drive.

I would probably start at 35. That is usually a good street pressure on Nissan trucks with normal sized tires. That isn't too far off stock.

I got the Calmini used but have never got around to putting it on. Not sure if that is how I want to go or not. I am enjoying it stock right now. I've had swing out spares in the past on other rides, lost visibility, harder to get into the back. If I got the right offer I would probably sell...

Looks like that Calmini bumper I have sitting on the side of my house. What are you planning for a latch?

I thought the last year of the manual transmission option in the vans was '84 or '85. The 5-speed didn't come until the late 80's in the trucks. So I am not sure where you are finding a 5-speed vans? Were they converted sometime in the past? I really doubt that your fuel economy estimates are...

The ARB/Engle can take some serious abuse. They are the fridges of the off-road world.

Add up all the BTU ratings and make sure the regulator can flow enough BTU. One good regulator can do it. Undersize the regulator and things won't work, the regulator will be the choke point and not flow enough. Oversizing a regulator isn't a problem, but undersizing one is. Undersize it too...
