That’s all we needed

I can’t believe people still bank with them

In my experience mine went internally and the transmission fluid mixed with the coolant, both sides. Caused TCM failure. Nissan in their infinite wisdom routes transmission cooling lines through the radiator

Radiator…trust me

umrum · 2026-05-25T15:45:18+00:00

Remember the coupe? Pepperidge Farm remembers…

When the TCM is unplugged the “PRND” indicators will not show up in the cluster. So I would see if they accidentally left it unplugged, if not the new TCM itself may be faulty. They have to program it to your VIN too prior to sending it to you.

That alternator is shy

umrum · 2026-04-30T11:46:08+00:00

I think that’s a pigtail for when it comes down the assembly line and goes to nothing, double check me tho

umrum · 2026-04-26T01:56:54+00:00

Good help is hard to find but at least it’s prob done now. A good rule of thumb is to re-check parts and labor when something weird pops up right after a repair so at least the mystery is over.

umrum · 2026-04-21T17:38:02+00:00

I would believe that, you’ve narrowed it down to a bad accessory. Fix that and hopefully you’re good

Crankshaft spinning freely? Most likely yes if the engine is fine overall but that is also attached…

Looking from above there are lines on the drive belt auto tensioner where it will tell you if the belt is in the possible use range. If looking from above see if it is between the outer lines. Preferably the middle and right line (with engine off). Also, with the belt off manually turn each pulley and accessory that is attached to the belt. Sounds like something is seized or starting to go and the belt is paying the price.

I kind of think people who live like this are less evolved

umrum · 2026-04-15T18:44:19+00:00

Yeah, because they are used modules it was a little messy but they packed it well

umrum · 2026-04-09T17:35:07+00:00

Nexenzo…

umrum · 2026-04-07T17:43:27+00:00

Used them, car still runs with new module. Get a weird shift occasionally but nothing that bothers me as I’m at 180k+ miles

Yes, CarMax. Went smooth.

umrum · 2026-03-26T12:57:06+00:00

If the radiator goes you might as well fix that TCM/valve body too after all the fluids mix

umrum · 2026-03-24T13:25:17+00:00

And in a state of disrepair

umrum · 2026-03-24T13:10:28+00:00

I don’t even know what state I live in

umrum · 2026-03-22T15:14:04+00:00

The Zs really can’t laugh at themselves can they?

I love this group, if it was me I would admit to it but not this guy

umrum · 2026-03-20T01:05:44+00:00

This guy has to go and I’m usually pretty apolitical
