    Who still makes oil cooler lines?

    I ran into this same problem. The dealership said they didn't make them anymore. I got the part numbers for what I needed and went down to the parts counter and told them what parts I needed and gave them the numbers. He said "so this will be for 2 oil cooler lines?" I said yes, the same ones...

    Did your shop do a back pressure test on the exhaust before the catalytic converter?

    After market Cat for 98 Gen 2.5 Monty

    In my experience, universals don't fair so well for pre-cat applications. For installation reasons and the fact that they are not efficient enough. The labor involved can quickly overcome any savings to the part. Factor this into the fact that it may not "fix" the CEL and you've got double the...

    Project Mini Hägglund

    The stress should be at a minimum if he keeps it in the snow and soft ground. To get a good mental picture of the steering set-up, think of a big front end loader. That kind of steering is called articulation. Since it only applies lateral stress, it should be fine pending most of his travels...

    mercedes 5cyl Diesel swap ??

    It seems like you know what you're doing. I can't tell you how many times I have daydreamed of having a nice diesel in my Montero. I say do it and post up a build thread. :sombrero:

    After market Cat for 98 Gen 2.5 Monty

    Let me know how it goes..... You can tell your shop that they owe you free installation for your part in finding such a great and inexpensive catalytic converter supplier. Those guys can save a shop and customers a whole lot of money as well as allow a shop to make a killing from installing cats.

    Scrubber3's long overdue build thread

    Nissan patrol vtec GQ in ghost rider 2

    I thought it was entertaining, but surely won't win any awards. I am a big fan of Marvel characters and Ghost rider is one of my favorite. I think the director needs to be slapped though. It could have been a lot better if he'd avoided some of the long drawn out transforming renditions.

    Need vehicle suggestions for around $3000

    I am not positive about the front, either they are the same size or the SR is 1/2" larger. The SR uses the same length CV axles as the manual LS so I think that the carrier is just wider.

    After market Cat for 98 Gen 2.5 Monty

    I will check mine tomorrow just to be sure (assuming they could be the same. but I doubt it), but if it has a pre-cat, there will be one for each bank. So` there should be two. I assume that the code says cat efficiency bank 1 correct? Bank one is where the firing order starts. So firing order...

    Need vehicle suggestions for around $3000

    The axles are the same diameter in all Gen 2 trims. The SR engine did have ~30 more HP at the crank, but after you factor in drivetrain loss, that figure goes closer to 12. even less in 4wd. At the cost of a more complex and troublesome engine. The rear diff came with a locking Differential that...

    2 Gen/2.5 Gen Question (About to be new owner)

    I got you man. You could always see if they'd ship it to you for a fee if you can get it for the right price. You could always get some young college student looking for some extra cash to go pick it up for you. Or you could get a cherry and make him do it. :)

    Call Brown's recycling. They take the OEM cores that have been used up and make them new again. They are normally a fraction of what the OEMs cost. BROWN RECYCLING-(800) 367 9271 See if Cotton still works there.(don't need to but you can if you feel like it) They are located in Alabama and I...

    Scrubber3's long overdue build thread

    Size wise, they fit just fine. The only thing was getting it hooked up. It wasn't close to being able to just mount up. I just got my rock sliders in yesterday. Will post pictures soon of them before the install and after. I am not sure about mounting these up by myself and I may have to...

    Need vehicle suggestions for around $3000

    In 2006 I bought a 2002 Xterra 4wd for less than 10,000 bucks. It had new tires and only 60,000 miles. In all honesty your friend has what no one wants. I.e. the supercharged version(due to head/intake issues and premium fuel), a 2wd(nuff said), not to mention that it's in bad shape. He'd be...

    Help with RTT and pics from last outing.

    I really don't know of any way to put a ladder as it would be impractical due to the way your rear hatch opens. IMHO I believe that this- http://www.autoanything.com/truck-tents/61A3877A0A0.aspx - or something like it would be a much safer and practical application for your rig. Hope this...
