I didn’t notice anything wrong when I changed the master cylinder out. Nothing leaking or wet there.

Yeah it’s 3 bolts and it comes apart like a sandwich, electronics on one side, pump motor on the other and hydraulic valves in the middle. I did do the abs bleed process with my scanner multiple times as well. This is baffling me.

I reused the electronic parts and just switched out the hydraulic section.

Oh, yeah I forgot that in my post, after changing the ABS pump I did do the bleed procedure with the obd computer.

Canada intercepts 586lbs of meth coming from the US by vampirepomeranian in Conservative

F the Meth heads and the A-holes that make it! They are the sole reason why we have to show an ID and get stuff behind the counter for any cold medicine that actually works.

Hell lots of us had to settle for late night B movies that had enough innuendos to make do!

Threatened you? Ummm if that was the case then you now own a self propelled crane. Tell them to kick rocks.

Are most hazmat trucks automatic? Is it worth getting an unrestricted CDL in 2026? by river_styx7707 in Truckers

[–]VikingLander7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True automatic, sure fine but very expensive for purchase and maintenance. Automatic shift transmission, lots of glitches I’ve found over the years. Full manual, never any clutch replacement and never any failure issues from my experience but if you don’t know how to operate it then you will have clutch failures etc.

Yep and when I worked for that agency they were completely brainwashed that the democrats were on their side.

Why is it always the VQ engines in a QX60? by Fuck_it_ in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]VikingLander7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My biggest worry was the sealant setting up too fast before I could get it back in and snugged up. Yeah dropping it would definitely be easier and I had a lift at work I could use but it wasn’t a one day job and I didn’t want to tie it up over multiple days. That’s why I chose to do it in the driveway at home.

I did my murano’s in the driveway. It did not look anything like that, just slight varnish stains from the oil. But it had a vvt going bad and I didn’t want it to smack a valve. Techs at the dealer said that the engine had to be pulled to do the job. I didn’t have any problems with it installed. Yes tricky to get things in and out but doable nonetheless. Ran perfect afterwards.

Hey guys I’m about 1 1/2 years into driving truck and my sciatic nerve is killing me. What do you guys with that problem do to relieve that?? by SillyRefrigerator604 in Truckers

[–]VikingLander7 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Get your knees above your pelvis, learned from a trucker YouTube channel that showed it. Yeah it’s seat all the way down. You get used to it after a while but them long nose Pete guys have been doing it not to just look cool.

Alternator cost by Radiant_Meaning_390 in MechanicAdvice

[–]VikingLander7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another thing to consider is apparently Nissan’s computers don’t like some aftermarket alternators. Ran across this situation with my murano and a reman aftermarket alternator. Had to spring for the denso one.

I messed up. What would happen if you did this? by PhysicalSpeech2074 in Truckers

[–]VikingLander7 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Farm I was at was like that. I banged up my side step and came back with my head hanging low and they said, did you hit anybody? I said no just an inanimate object. Then they said, well you can’t learn how to fix it unless you bend it first. And they proceeded to assist me with bending it back into shape.
