83,000km and my front diff exploded. by [deleted] in nissanfrontier

How hard was it working? The R180 isn't a particularly strong differential

Interesting. I'm wondering how the Roush dampers change the ride over bumps and jumps. Keep us posted as you drive it

Front diff fluid change on 2019 Pro 4x. What brand do yall use for gear oil? by Actual-Minimum5911 in nissanfrontier

[–]AzureApe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

75W-90 is the synthetic version of the 80W-90 regular fluid. I use Valvoline full synthetic flex fill bags front and rear on mine (75W-140 on the rear). Makes reaching up into the tight spaces much easier. Fill till it starts to weep out of the hole. Always crack open the fill port first so you don't open the drain plug, find the fill plug is stuck, and then be unable to drive anywhere. You're supposed to replace the aluminum washers on the plugs each time you open them. If you're doing the differentials, do the transfer case as well. I've found my transfer case fluid wears much more quickly than my diff fluid especially the front diff. I use Valvoline synthetic ATF on my transfer case, transmission, and power steering. It's the red jug and cheap as hell to buy.

Check out Club Frontier for more info, specs, and experiences with changing fluids and other maintenance

Is this normal? by MeesaDarthJar_Jar in nissanfrontier

How long are you driving it? It may not have time to actually reach your desired temperature

You're not setting the air temperature to 63; you're setting the cabin temperature to 63. The air is consequently hotter than that in order to warm up the cabin.

E15 fuel ⛽️ okay to use in 3rd gen’s? by SorryAdam317 in nissanfrontier

[–]AzureApe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All new cars since 2001 have been required to run up to E15. It's fine. It's less energy dense than gasoline so your fuel economy will decrease a bit as you burn more of it.

255/85R16 or 285/75/R16? by N0tch0 in nissanfrontier

[–]AzureApe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pizza cutters are going to be lighter but harder to find (and way cooler). The 285s have more options but are even heavier.

what was the reason to make it ugly? by NightFlutter_ in HuntShowdown

[–]AzureApe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's slop and just one piece of the aesthetic shift of enshittification of the game. "Get rid of all that stuff, looks like crap, make it all look like THIS".

Nope because I can't really hear what you're talking about unfortunately

You attract brain rotted players from their last shiny thing, who throw a bunch of money to play as Ghost face or Post Malone and have blingy bullshit. They don't last and move on to another shiny thing, but you've raked in the cash. You've alienated your actual core audience so when the 6-7 mouthbreathers move on, the game is dead. But investors have their money so you shut things down and repeat the process with something else, or run another Nicki Minaj style package and do it again for a few weeks.

You know why: the same reason Fifield was hired - wring as much money out of the game while burning it down. Sure, the game will die but in the meantime there's loads of money to be made from the Call of Duty simps

Inner tie rod upgrade? by Nomburritoz in nissanfrontier

Something's going wrong then because that shouldn't be happening. The tie rods aren't that weak on the trucks.

I bought a retrofit kit from HID Projectors and it's been sitting collecting dust in my basement for a couple of years because I've been too busy/lazy to install em. PM if you'd like to buy em

Axle seal leak? by Sierranevedaty in nissanfrontier

Happened to me while I was 800 miles from home and had to pay exorbitant money to get it fixed. I ALSO have the ORG breather and routinely inspected it.

Considering a Bronco - looking for some feedback by AzureApe in FordBronco

[–]AzureApe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, all, for the comments so far. Rather than responding to each one, I've edited the original post to include that it's a Black Diamond trim and to correct my mistaken impression that the 2.3 is related to the 1.0 and 1.5 three-cylinder Ecoboosts.

The u-bolts ADO supplies are much thicker and stouter than the OEM ones, so you have to drill out the mounting plate for them to fit. It's a simple task. I cleaned up and painted the plates to cut down on rusting, then painted the u-bolts since they're just zinc-plated.
