Wow, thats almost as bad as my PW's mpg's of 8-10. LOL

Saw that he is going to put the Nissan's new CTD in the engine bay. Nissan Corp gave him a prototype of the diesel pickup that had been used hard. No cab, just the frame engine & complete running gear & all electronics needed to make it run & be legal for emissions.

Old thread, I know. This thing is so warm it's unreal. http://www.pendleton-usa.com/product/Blankets-Throws/Featured/Camping-Blankets/YAKIMA-CAMP-BLANKET/166021/sc/2167/c/2421/pc/2178.uts?selectedColorCode=3001 I caught ours on clearance at a big box sports/outdoor store for $69.00. Ours is a...

I would think a stove that requires no bought fuel would be ideal. This is just one kind...

While not super small, nor inexpensive, this is something your grand kids could easily pass down 3 more generations. I have one. It is UBER HD, stores within itself, has a carry handle & can be used when there is a ban on ground fires. It does NOT sit on the ground. It is self contained & can be...

Do you tow with it & run 70 mph while towing ? Curious what temps would be towing @ 70 w/5.38's ? I tow @ 70 because that is the speed limit that most run on the highway. I still get passed on a regular basis @ 70. My dad actually got a ticket once while we were kids for "obstructing traffic"...

Any idea on the time frame for the first Nissan van 4x4 build, or did i miss it already ? I ask this because I saw today on Power Nation that Ian is going to do a new Nissan van 4x4 build.

Funny you say that. I was watching a SCORE 400 or MINT 400 race on tv last year & one team that had Amsoil stickers all over there vehicle had rear end gear issues. By the end of the race, they determined that the 250 wt gear oil was too thick & that is what was causing the overheating issue...

What are all those pointy things in the knife holder ? Shish-ka-bob sticks ?

The factory fill spec is 5/8" below the fill hole, according to my dealer. Will filling to the fill hole cause issues, if the dealer is correct ?

Yeah, cause spit is so much more reliable than a thermometer. OK then, seeing as how you think you know everything, what oil should I be running in the rear diff ? This is what is in there now: https://www.amsoil.com/shop/by-product/gear-lube/75w-90-long-life-synthetic-gear-lube/?code=FGRQT-EA...

I understand all this, I really do. I used to drive semi-trucks in the US Army, in Germany. But this is a 3500 lb camper here people. We used to tow a camper that weighed almost 6000 lbs with a friggin STATION WAGON, thats right, a car. We never even had a problem either. Slow on the hills but...

Today, new Mag-Hytec cover arrived. Took a run into town & back with factory cover & fluid. Got home & it read 130*F. Removed factory cover & PCP diff cover. The rear locker mechanism was replaced by dealer 1000 miles ago & refilled with factory full synthetic fluid---they said. Inside of cover...

Todays findings: Ambient air temp 74* when I started, 80* when i got back. Verified the 74*with the IR http://www.harborfreight.com/non-contact-infrared-thermometer-with-laser-targeting-69465.html , the analog one http://www.walmart.com/ip/THERMOMETER-SSTL-INSTANT-READ/49056557 , and the...

Yes, they move by hand. I check that every time I rotate or switch tires from summer to winter. I am as stumped as you. I did buy an analog & digital food thermometer & will check with those against the IR one in the next few days or so. Lots going on right now. Pouring rain today---finally, we...

It was aimed at different points on the rear diff cover, not even facing the exhaust. I will look into this further & try something different. I can tell you that touching it is something I would not do. You can just feel the radiating off it when close to it. Maybe I will try a digital meat...

Finally, i asked in my first post, input please, not sarcasm.

Just got back from a 12 mile trip to town & back, empty, 55mph. 133*F is what it read anywhere on the bottom of pumpkin cover. :Wow1: Just trying to figure out what the deal is. Those temps were not after a lot of braking either. Highway speed, slow down 2 stops then checked. After dinner about...
