Ha...problem is, a lot of this is retreading where we've all previously been? For example, I looked at my fan clutch while I was in there, and found my exact same observations here from the last time I replaced it in ~2013 to be true. Turns about a quarter or a third of the way when I flick it, and ...

...and then the drain plug in my all aluminum radiator snapped on the last attempt to drain distilled water to fill with coolant. Argh! Good news is everything else was working just great on water. Going to get whatever radiator is available today, so I can pull the CSF and have the plug removed, or...

Hooray! Garden hose plus 150 psi compressor air for the win! Verified clear with borescope, now installing the Nissan part. Flushing with all the distilled water in the world later...

Misery. I can see one big plastic piece in the pipe bend right under the heater return to the radiator. Can't grab it. Going to try to finish up the heater core lines so I can pressurize with air and maybe blow it out. Big enough that worse case, it "should" just eventually get trapped in ...

Lots of choices here. We just came back from a 1200 KM road trip driving through the hills. My 24" LED Light bar was such a savior, no need for highbeams when you have one of these! I would love to upgrade, my fog lights as the housings are pretty foggy from all the rock chips. Those SIEMD one...

Yeeeaaaah theres some rust powder that comes out on my fingers. I'm leaning towards OEM after flushing...

Anyone else use these metal replacements for the heater inlet pipes from Wholesale? I am lazily getting around to flushing everything before re-asssembly, and the idea of cheap steel pipes for hot coolant seems to be trading one long term problem for another. Not 100% sure as I don't see red rust we...

So lame... https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/e185/txnavy/IMG_0449.MOV?width=960&height=720&fit=bounds If you end up doing this, make sure gravity helps you with potential plastic chips as much as possible. This thing detonated as I pulled on the hose and who knows how many parts are dow...

Metal part is halfway in, and I it looks good enough I will stick with it over the Nissan part, which I also have in hand. But... The plastic was so brittle, not only did other pieces break off with minimal pressure, but some pieces of the large nipple heading back to the collector and radiator fell...

This article remains a good discussion of ram air: https://www.cycleworld.com/story/blogs/ask-kevin/motorcycle-ram-air-explained/ TLDR version - true ram air only works at high speed, and must be engineered correctly to work. It sort of works on very fast production super sport motorcycles at track ...

Stock steering on these trucks is pretty vague even when new. I put PRG delrin steering rack bushings in mine and it tightened up the steering quite a lot.

Of course the OEM part is back ordered. I ordered the metal version from Wholsesale Parts, will see what gets here first.

The closest Boss units to it in specs are about the same price - but don't have AptX, etc. If that doesn't matter as much or you plan on running wired connections, then it wouldn't matter.

But I stuffed my doors full of deadening and insulation, so AptX and AAC here I come (when not wired)

Since I may be replacing my Pioneer soon - check out the Atoto S8 line of double-DIN receivers on Amazon. I was waiting for the usual stuff on Crutchfield to come down in price but this looks like the way. Several threads on the XTerra and Frontier forums about it. Carplay, Android Auto, and camera ...
