How is the gas mileage? If the injectors are original, one or more may be leaking when cold.

Transfer should be 75w90- been running Mobil Delvac with good success. Also use in the front diff. Rear diff gets Mobil HD 80w90.

If you go for the Xterra, made sure it is after 2010. Problems galore in the previous years. I would start with regearing and see if it helps. Honestly though, find a first gen Sequoia or even GX 470with the 2uz for better pulling power.

I would keep looking for the used tranny. Rebuilds are northward of $3000 and more. I think 99s still have transmissions available to them but of course are on back order.

Saw a 3rd gen with 188k 5spd 4wd go for almost $19k on bring a trailer last month.

+1 with the crank tooth sprocket. Your biggest PITA will be getting three crank bolt loose. I once witnessed a guy at a convenient store off I95 pouring antifreeze on his BMW engine. I told him that wasn’t where it was supposed to go. He told me “Don’t worry I am an engineer”. Well of course he...

Radiator cap if it is original.

Nice but like in my college days the carpet doesn’t match the drapes…..:lol:

Still have my Klein hard tails made in Washington. Had my favorite one, the Attitude with the Storm paint job, stolen though some year ago. Also still have a couple of Litespeeds and an Ibis Ti Mojo. Won’t be able to make it. Take some good pics. Saving the spare change to buy another 3rd gen...

Had the #2 transfer case solenoid go bad on me. Decided to replace all four. Along with some new Mobil Delvac 75w90, it has never shifted quicker into 4wd in sixteen years.

Nope, I had to remove the seat. Getting to the motor isn’t the easiest thing if one has large hands. In the end when I recovered the seat I didn’t reinstall the switch but it doesn’t bother my back.

I am a better forum member thanks in part to BFAD. Giving him pointers on how to begin welding with his Hobart welder was quite enjoyable. He loved to fish, which means he was good by me. I think he lost a brother to leukemia before his passing but not 100% sure. I feel for his wife and...

If you have access to a smoke machine, I would undo the lines and see if one may have collapsed internally. On most GMs I have worked on, either the canister is clogged or the vent solenoid is dead.

It happens when one is three sheets to the wind and starts to post bad info.

Like spartacus said, fuel pump is most likely the issue. Has the filter been changed lately?
