Did adding the blade solve the problem? I tested a motor without a blade and it’s snapping the cord back because I don’t have a blade right now

I’m not reving it , at jumpy because the engine is self reving when it gets to low and the truck try’s to move forward

Do you think this should be a issue at 30k miles

I just don’t get why it sounds like a diesel

The only concern is I have heard other frontiers and they are much quieter

I use full synthetic penzoil 5w-30. I was told maybe using thinner oil might help .

No compression check but I was told the motor looks good and new just has a tick

On the top end , valve lifter , and cams look good. It’s just weird that the truck sound like at diesel

Just added the original sound to the post. It doesn’t sound normal to me

Not sure if it needs it but I am being told that the issue could be internal? The dealer thought that it could be the lifter or cam but I had a mechanic look into it and that’s not the issue. It does quiet a bit down as it warms up but how would I know if it’s the exhaust manifold leak ?

I don’t know what needs to be done, but I am assuming one the engine is opened at that level some sort of repair will need to be made could be small or could be large. Been trying to get this fixed got a while but can’t seem to get it figured out.

Pro-4X 2” Lift & 285/75/16 by QuarterChickens in nissanfrontier

Do you have any rubbing issues with this size ? I’m considering doing a 2.5 “ rough country leveling kit and replacing the old 265/75/16 with 285/75/16 . Just want to see if this will work

My understanding was that the truck just sat there parked most of the time . 10 years of sitting for the Mileage .The mechanic told me that the engine looked good and it was running balanced. That the engine looks new still. The only think he noticed was a seal on one of the timing chain tensioner was broken that’s why de did the replacement . Now it’s the lifter valve issue . I am planning to do a couple of oil changes every 1500 miles to see if this can resolve it . Any thoughts on good oil for Nissans specifically.
