Lets see, my uncle just blew his '00 E4OD at 370,000 miles behind a stock 7.3 Powerstroke. Not completely true, it did get a warranty trans right at 60k. So the Ford reman from about '03 that the dealer put in only lasted 310,000 miles. But that isn't completely true either, because at 260k I...

Oddessy or Northstar battery will be a better battery. But if you want to go Optima, look at the case color and not the top color. Black case is a starting battery, gray case is a deep cycle. The red/yellow/blue is just for marketing and adds bonus stud terminals (maybe). This info is...

It's scary because it is probably the same build quality throughout. And what we can see of the build quality if the few pictures isn't very well done. Now the other builds, those look well done. Don't have issues with those. The issue is with the original post, looks like a rolling death...

All those other vehicles you list have much larger fuel tanks. How often do you want to stop for fuel? I remember towing with a 1st gen Frontier (non-supercharged) and one tank of gas didn't even get me 100 miles. I don't think any of them got me 150 miles. When you drive thirsty vehicles...

Did you even notice how much duct tape is holding it together? From the mirror to the rust streaking off the plastic roof. The chassis is so overkill that it will have the ride quality of welding the axle straight to the chassis. The inner and outer tires on the rear duels are completely...

NOT! There was an E350 Sportmobile that was canabalized with an old tow truck F650 chassis. That is a rolling pile of garbage. I am sure the owner is quite proud of his finest creation. For our own safety the public should stay as far away from this as possible (both parked and on especially...

Sit down and tell us what is going on. Your post makes no sense. Where it sounds like you are at, there is only one diesel. Period. Not really a wrong fuel to put in, unless it was gasoline. But with your post being so vague we have no idea what you are talking about. Did you fill up with...

The VG33 in the first gen is V8 fuel economy with 4-cylinder power. The supercharger bumps that to carburted big block fuel economy with V6 power. Premium fuel is needed or it drops boost/timing and the V6 power goes back to 4-cylinder power without gaining any fuel economy. I wouldn't touch a...

That economy sounds about right for a Frontier. I would expect the Armada to do better. Armada also gets you full time 4WD, just leave the knob in "auto". It may be a bigger engine, but it is a more modern engine as well. Direct inject with 11:1 compression. Gets more work done for each...

Pick a holiday weekend. Drive down the highway and look at the trailers that have blown out tires. Notice they are usually about 5-6 years old. And they look like they only go out a couple times a year. Tires have plenty of tread, but the rubber is rotton. I've replaced tires on my boat...

Is that a statment or a question?

Keep the fob in your hand, put the battery cable on, alarm goes off. Press the unlock button. Very common for alarms to go off when a new battery is hooked up. Many makes and models will do this. Often they will also lock the doors on you as well. Very common for someone to get locked out of...

Diehard Group 35 bought new in '11 (looks like a '10 build date) just got replaced. Daily driver, solar back up. Abused, AZ summer heat, underhood, accidently ran flat a couple of times, ARB fridge. Not the correct way to set up a battery but it has worked. As winter started setting in I...

So it is better, and really no different than what the 4.0 gets. Gas mileage is a mute point in this comparison.

Armada will probably get better mileage. The 5.6 in the Armada is direct inject. Add in the 7-speed as well. The older 5.6 wasn't that great. But what I have seen out of the new 5.6 is it will out do the old 5.6 and 4.0 powertrains. And the 4WD has low range. Don't know what un-informed...

Just you. Big? You must not know what a full size truck looks like. While larger than a Frontier it is smaller than the first gen Armada. Downright dainty when compared to stuff as small as a Titan XD.

Interior lighting, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JQV6NNC/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I3FZDUAMEJMIFW&colid=3DVD74QT1158V&psc=1 Just helped a friend do his motorhome with them. I've been running them in the house (under cabinet lighting) for years. The non-waterproof ones are easier to wire up. But...

I'm scared to ask what they cost.

Heating batteries does wonders. Back in college we had a nasty cold front blow in. Truck started but stalled when I let the clutch out, thick gear oil. Would not start again. Went from a slow crank to no crank. Pulled the battery, brought it inside, into a sink of hot water. An hour later...

Armada. Right now that is the only thing that could replace my Xterra. And the '10 Xterra was the upgrade from the '08 Frontier (everything with Nismo/Off-road/Pro-4x/whatever they call it now packages)
