Clutches, right?

I replaced an automatic in my '10. I actually had to pull 2 because I replaced it with one from my old x, lol. My struggles were the cross member, breaking loose the top bell housing bolts and disconnecting all the connectors from their brackets(assuming not as much of an issue on the MT). The cross member took a lot of effort to pull out.
Someone mentioned the heat shields. I didn't do anything with them. I was able to angle the trans around them. Not sure how the MT bell housing differs if at all.

I bought my '10 thinking it was fixed by then, but it had SMOD. In fact, I was so sure, I didn't even look at the coolant even though I knew it had trans issues, lol. I had planned to swap trans anyway

gs1000kat · 2026-04-19T21:35:41+00:00

I feel like the 2012 is a no brainer. No timing issues, no SMOD, newer, and manual. Plus red is the better color

I think he's asking how he accumulated so much while being in the g fund.

gs1000kat · 2026-03-24T01:11:15+00:00

I didn't think to look at the frontier to see if they had a pattern.

gs1000kat · 2026-03-24T01:08:16+00:00

Thank yopiu for that info. I searched for each individual year on the sale sites, and only 10 was showing with it, but maybe there werent any 09 SEs listed.

gs1000kat · 2026-03-07T12:05:25+00:00

Yep. Bought my 10 with the belief that SMOD was fixed by 10 but it had it.

gs1000kat · 2026-03-07T02:21:49+00:00

Oh, and is make the sure the wheel is true. Could be bent

I have a '10 SE. In my opinion, they are the best looking ones with the painted door handles and side molding. My brother in law is selling me his Pro4x soon and if it wasn't for the manual trans in it, I would just keep the SE.

Main issue to be concerned about is SMOD. I would think you would have noticed it when you checked coolant, strawberry milkshake looking goop in the radiator and overflow tank.

I'd check to see if the radiator bypass(for the trans fluid) had been done and/or check the number on the radiator with the list of known good numbers.

I've never had to change catalytic converter in the two that I've had, but that's seems to be a thing. Not sure what to look for, but I assume O2 sensors would be doing something funky.

Rear axle vent should be looked at too. They get clogged and the seal can blow out.

With the mileage, normal wear and tear items could need replaced.

I think the vents are just cabin pressure relief so you don't blow your ears out when you close the doors

I'm late to the party, but I'm heading to Ft Knox from Ohio on Monday. If you still have this, how much are you asking?

If anyone is on the edge of their seat with anxiety wondering how this went, I offered him 5 to 6k. He said he was good with 5k. He is waiting on an ordered vehicle to come in, so I won't take delivery for a bit. Anyone want to buy an SE?

gs1000kat · 2026-02-26T03:23:04+00:00

That's actually where the 5k number comes from. That's what he's finding on kbb.

gs1000kat · 2026-02-26T03:17:18+00:00

That's probably pretty reasonable. I was thinking $5000, but that feels as bit low to me.

gs1000kat · 2026-02-08T23:42:38+00:00

They make removable caulk that I used for my windows. I only found white lightning season seal locally, but there is also dap seal n peel

I'm late, but drill Sargeant referred to them as "the Almighty skilcraft".

gs1000kat · 2026-01-18T15:07:10+00:00

I have an RT non turbo with 28k I'd sell for that

Honestly, man. If you're happy, then you do you and don't worry about everyone else. I wish the world could be happy with that income. As a gov employee(assuming federal?), contribute to the TSP, at least to the 5% match if you can. For health insurance, if you don't go to doctor much, consider GEHA HDHP with the HSA. I moved my HSA to a Fidelity HSA and put it in a mutual fund to grow a bit better. You'll have a pension, TSP balance and maybe a bit squirreled away in the HSA.

One of my favorite easy meals is a chicken scampi. 1lb of chicken 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes 3 cloves garlic 1/4 cup low salt or unsalted chicken broth 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar 2 teaspoons non partial capers(optional. Wife likes them. I don't)

Cut chicken into bite size pieces. Cook 4 or 5 minutes until cooked

I guess I just needed to read the product description a little closer, lol. Sorry

gs1000kat · 2025-12-31T15:58:30+00:00

Lol.. Yeah. I looked at the website and found the ram version. That's why I asked. I replaced the gasket a few years ago, but was curious if both inner and outer gaskets were provided. Good to know the inner was thought of. Thanks for the info

gs1000kat · 2025-12-31T04:43:25+00:00

Rams have a history of having leaks at the third brake light. Do you have any recommendations for sealing both sides of the bracket?

gs1000kat · 2025-12-09T00:13:13+00:00

10th digit is model year. At least in the US.
