What does the fluid smell like? There is a diff vent hose that comes up from the front diff up to the CAI box. Once in a while, depending on your driving conditions, i.e. heat/altitude/towing, pressure builds up in the diff housing and escapes through the vent tube. Happened to me a few times offroa...

Clay,

Did you end up getting a 2007+ front diff, the one with 3 ribs instead of 2?

Man, that's the cleanest garage I've seen yet! Where you at, Beverly Hills? Congrats on the new gears! I knew you would love the extra power. Even with 33.5" tires, I'm only off by 2mph. I wonder if the ECU knows that the new gears are present, and adjusts accordingly. I'm around 2100 RPM @ 70....

I've noticed that the air inlet is no longer attaced to the wheel well, so it's not drawing cooler air from the outside. Is that the case, or your picture doesn't show the completed install?

17" Rims will work fine on the V8. I've tried the 17" stock Nissan rims on mine. I will be replacing my 18" rims to 17" sometime soon as well.

Another question for rappoga: Ok guys heres the deal. Found a 2008 infini qx56 rear end with 40k miles. It has the 3.36 gears and i got it for $400. My plan next weekend is to replace the rear only. Then next weekend do the front. This should not pose a driving problem as long as i dont use 4x4 cor...

Rapoga, Do you happen to know if the differential sideshaft that is in the front differential is the same on the armada and pathfinder V8? Do you mean the front drive shafts, or the companion flange, or the side shaft that is internal to the diff? Everything should be the same except the drive shaf...

From Auto to 4Hi, does the center diff indicator on the dash instantly come on as well?

Thx volvite. Same here, just a beep with instant indicator lock, hence "intantaneous". Weird, my 05 LE, which had the All Mode 4WD like our V8's, when switching from Auto to 4Hi the diff indicator would flash for a few seconds before staying solid. Maybe the 08+ All Mode systems has a more...

Haha! :lol: I don't think you work hard enough, so could you lift all wheels and spin them one by one and keep them spinning like spinning plates in at a circus. :wink: Nah, what I meant was simply turning the knob from Auto to 4Hi and see if the diff lock indicator on your dash flashes first or tur...

For it to be "instant" would be impossible, however it's probably very fast. One more question. When you turn the knob from Auto to 4Hi, does the center diff indicator on the dash flash for a few seconds first before going solid, or does it just turn on right away? I spoke to my cousin wh...

Sorry Carl, can you clarify this again "should be all BUT instantaneous". Did you mean "should be instantaneous" ?

Thanks
