    Half @$$ cold AC

    yup....that's how ALL ac compressors operate ;-) if it's engaged @Zack, you'll see the face of the pulley rotating with the pulley/belt. when it's disengaged, the face will remain still while the pulley spins freely. It'll cycle on/off if it's working properly.

    2007 Xterra - Parking Lights Won't Turn Off !!

    dude...I messaged with him on TNX about my ebay purchase. it's the same guy LOL if anything, shoot him a message via ebay to find out whta's up w/ that that. I can't speak for him about what's up with that. My only guess is that the C vs B doesn't matter one bit. He's worked close w/ the...

    plug-n-play. Pull old one out...put new one in. Bricad15 IS Brian who was at Cherry Hill Nissan (aka JerseyParts on TNX). that seller IS trustworthy....that's who I bought mine from. I had messaged Brian over on TNX first...then found the IPDM on ebay after I didn't hear from him for a...

    2007 Xterra - Parking Lights Won't Turn Off !!

    first thing I'd do is disconnect the trailer harness from under the bumper & pull the two respective relays out (located under pass. side kick panel). Get that variable out of the equation. If the lights remain on.....we can go from there.

    Welcome TNX Refugees!

    HAHAHAHA! An even easier process for me...I can add watermark over a collection of photos all at once, rather than replace each pic one-by-one. I just ported over my how-to on doing an alternator swap for a VKswap...then took my TNX pics outta commission

    How-to: Alternator Replacement for VK-swaps

    This is for those who have done a VK swap on their rig. You may wanna be proactive in this & take the time to do crack the necessary bolts loose & put some antiseize on them. During your swap, if you didn't remove the power steering pump, and the bracket that holds the alternator/power...

    How-to: VK-swap with Auto Trans

    I'm still paying for.....LOL 6month 0% APR PayPal Credit, and Amazon Store Card to the rescue! I was able to recoup almost 1/2 of what I bought the Titan for by selling my VQ & trans, so that was a big help in that aspect.

    Custom Front Bumper for my '05

    I stole this one off of RockyMtnX's thread over on TNX about his winch bumper (I doubt he'd mind).... you can see the 'adapter' plate that bolts to the bumper...then wraps underneath the framerail.

    Custom Front Bumper for my '05

    Shrockworks makes a plate for the tow hook mounts....that bolts to the bumper...to give it that access. that'd work, rather than making it thinner to make that bend. I'll take a pic of mine for ya.

    How-to: VK-swap with Auto Trans

    July 1, 2019 I don't overly regret it. Maybe I had my expectations set a little high for the fuel economy. There just wasn't enough info out there about that for me to have made a well-informed decision in that aspect. The increased throttle response and the engine not screaming when hauling my...

    How-to: VK-swap with Auto Trans

    June 25, 2018 so...now that it's been a couple weeks of having the VK under the hood, time to address the "why" aspect of why I did this swap... if you're looking for gained mpgs....doing the VK swap isn't worth it IMO. :frown: I'm sure Minion probably being about 1000lbs overweight doesn't...

    How-to: VK-swap with Auto Trans

    June 13, 2018 So went wheeling out in Tennessee this past weekend. Performance-wise.....truck did fantastic! Of the 4 rigs on day 1, I was the only one that didnt' have to get winched up 2 steep/slick/muddy hills :headbang: There was a built 1st gen X (w/ rear locker), 2nd gen X(w/ rear...

    How-to: VK-swap with Auto Trans

    May 31, 2018 well....as my luck likes to go...the compressor is actually good. the way to test it w/out the engine on is to run a ground wire to the face of one of the bolt holes, and +12v wire to the single-wire harness. If it's good, the clutch will engage. Which is what mine did. So +12v...
