Sadly, my husband who was the one making these videos, passed away April 12, 2024 in a terrible accident. The videos will remain available as they are helpful. No new videos will be made, nor will the comments be able to be answered as I am not the car person. Thank you.
Now that it doesn't have the radiator to cool the trans the trans will run a little hotter because it doesn't have the radiator cooling it down anymore and the only thing cooling it down now is the trans cooler that is only cooled down by air. Before it was cooled down by air and radiator but now if you do this it'll be cooled down only by the trans cooler. I think it'll still be OK as long as you're not towing alot or trailing alot. My 2009 has everything still factory and I've never had problems. As long as you keep up with the radiator fluid and change it you shouldn't have to worry about rusting the internal tank in the radiator that the trans lines go into. Change that radiator fluid every 65k to 100k and you shouldn't have a problem with the factory setup. Mine has 129,000 and I'm still running factory setup and no problems.
Thank you for this video. My G35 is making the exact same sound but I couldn’t describe it. Your “All-Terrain Tire” reference was perfect. Much appreciate the step by step process and the torque specs. I’ll be taking this on this weekend. Great video. Great video.
You should of had a castle nut on both the outer tie rod and upper ball joint to put the cotter pins through. I would get in there ASAP and change both those nuts. Also, there should be a spindle nut retainer over the spindle nut that the cotter pin goes through. That is another thing that should be added quickly. Better safe (nothing works it way free) than sorry.
Perfect. Exactly what I needed and in clear terms with a perfect demonstration. Non-Sequitur: Can you recommend a truck tire that will be good for improving MPG/fuel efficiency but is decent in snow?
@@Bando-fx4mfhes programming the remote which is separate from the key. I already have 2 remotes but i want a 2nd key. Security is built into the key 🗝️ as well right .
Thanks for this tutorial. I found the space was so tight that I had to also remove the nut off negative terminal as well. I could not remove the old one or install the new one without doing this and I literally spent an hour trying to twist it into place. Once I removed that nut it slipped right in.
I don’t get it. I get a clicking sound I read a form that means it’s locked I turn it the other way and don’t get a sound but in your video unlocking them gives you that click
That's a great question that unfortunately I don't know the answer. Couldn't find any answers online for that question either. It does appear that the QR25DE engines used a different radiator part number than the VQ40DE engines but that's all I got unfortunately
Trans cooler is just it's own little radiator that relies on the big fan to pull air across the trans cooler that the transmission pushes fluid through. If a vehicle had smod already, you'd want to trash the trans cooler and replace with a new one before even thinking about running the vehicle again. This was fine for preventative purposes so the owner could get a newer revised radiator that is less prone to smod
Think of it more as "disconnecting hubs" as in it disconnects the front wheels entirely from the drivetrain when they are "unlocked". With them locked, it's simply reconnects them to the front drivetrain. It's more for fuel savings when driving in 2wd. The front differential can still be a typical open diff, limited slip or even a locker
So 5 years after you made this video I'm having trouble with my 2007 Chevy trailblazer. Same thing happened to mine. I trouble shot mine and it worked. Went and bought a new relay and now works perfectly. Thank you for your help. I'm subscribing.
In my personal Xterra, I'm using a Mishimoto and it's been doing great for the 2.5 years I've had it. The red Xterra shown is still driving around with the bypass setup with no problems
Mechanic here. Great camera work. Thanks for staying short and to the point. I needed to see how you maneuvered the starter out and back in. What a pain in the butt vehicle to work on.
You saved my ass! Thank you for the video! I don’t know anything. I looked like a monkey fucking a football… putting back in is a definitely tricky. But I got it done in 2 hours… again Thank you for the video
Basic down to earth video. Not all the usual extra unnecessary BS. Great job! You just saved me a mechanic bill. After watching this I am convinced I can do this. The hardest part for me being 70 years old is getting down on the ground and working under the car. But if I get the car jacked up high enough and secure I think I can pull it off. Thanks!
That depends. If the car doesn't respond at all to key fob inputs, (like it's not programmed) then maybe. If you have bad door lock actuators like many g35 coupes have, then no.
@@dospathsgarage2854so if my passenger lock only opens when I hit the unlock button this won’t work? Since my driver side door lock I always have to manually set it lol
2003 Pathfinders have a T30 Tamper Proof Security Torx Bit! This maybe other pathfinder years as well! Don't make the same mistake I did and buy a t50 without checking first
