Pete hope you can post some pix of that timing chain job...thinking about tackling it on my PF Sorry, man... didn't take too many pix. Was too busy swearing. :wink: Was not a fun job, but that's because I made a lot of mistakes along the way that cost me a lot of time... I didn't do enough research...

Positive update: OEM bearing and clutch holding up fine for about a year now.

Lesson learned: Don't use an aftermarket clutch or fan bearing assembly.

Lucky dog... Got 186k on mine and just finished doing the timing chains myself... what a nightmare.

Woulda loved to ditch it for a Tundra. Maybe in a couple of years.

Good luck with it.

After all, when was the last time you heard a case of engine oil failure in a non-racing application where the owner actually changed the oil at recommended intervals. Oil is one of the areas the marketers have been successful in convincing the general public to over analyze. Exactly! Go with 5W30 ...

Just installed mine while doing the timing chains. Hoping to see/feel a little benefit while towing.

Yes, I have an 05 Pathfinder with a Bully Dog and it DOES show transmission temps to the degree.

Very useful when towing heavy in hilly areas.

Jesus... 10 friggin days later (8 days of wrenching my ass off) and it's finally back together and running smooth. Only issue is a slightly high idle (~900rpm instead of 650-750) after cleaning the throttle body. Hopefully the idle re-learn works for me. I had a road block at about every.. single......

Sorry, didn't take any vid along the way. Snapped a couple pics but nothing you can't find on the net already. It's almost back together, but I'm sorta kinda fucked... both of the power steering pump mounting holes on the front of the motor are stripped. I'm going to have to tap/helicoil one and tap...

Thanks.

Luckily I got a service tech buddy of mine coming over today. We did a double motor swap in his driveway back in the day.

At the time he had a Subaru Impreza L wagon with a 2.2l

His dad had a Subaru Legacy wagon with a 2.5l

His dad went on vacation.

You do the math.

Alrighty.... time's a wasting. Need to get started. I have a friend who works as a service tech coming to help me but I don't know what his schedule is or when he's actually going to be swinging by and I need to at the very least get the ball rolling. Good news is I have two days to do this (today &...

Aw Jesus..... 1500 bucks? Pretty sure mine needs to be done. Started ticking pretty bad a while ago... I've been severely procrastinating because I really don't want to spend much more money on this vehicle. I should really just trade the thing in ASAP but I can't afford to take on a car payment rig...

2005, V6, 180k miles. Think my cats are toast. Started getting a CEL last summer. Code pointed to driver's side, so I spaced out the rear O2 sensor with a bored out spark plug defouler. That took care of it for a while, but it came back & it's been back for a while now and both banks throwing co...

Sooooo, my truck has had a belt squeak for some time and while replacing the fan clutch (again... this time with an OEM unit) I decided to take a quick look at the adjustment bolts for the power steering pump, per this page: http://www.underhoodservice.com/Article/74251/tech_tip_fix_for_a_squeaky_ni...

loading/unloading a couple of jet skis on sand is not going to heat up the transmission much at ALL. I monitor my temps with a Bullydog GT tuner. The transmission gets hot when it is under HEAVY load and SHIFTING a lot. Towing my ~5000lb enclosed trailer along a hilly highway will get my transmissio...

oreogaborio

Dammit. Well, the reset lasted about 2 weeks. I'll give it another try then buy an o2 sensor if it comes back.
