If you're into motorcycles and cars, join Dave as he works on everything with 2 and 4 wheels! I promise two things in my videos. The first is, there will always be an American flag somewhere in my video. Kinda like the Where's Waldo books. Try and find the flag! The second thing is, I'm going to try and make you laugh or at least smile and maybe actually teach you a little something about what I'm working on! Also ...... make sure you watch the video all the way through. Some videos have end clips..... kinda like the marvel movies!
Email me at: diydaveb@gmail.com Follow me on Instagram at: diydaveb ....... I post preview videos of the upcoming videos only on my Instagram page!
Also join me on my FB page, Do it Yourself Do it Right and share YOUR DIY projects. Big or small, doesn't matter what it is, it doesn't have to be car or bike related. IT CAN BE ANYTHING THAT YOU'VE MADE WITH YOUR OWN TWO HANDS!
Lets get this channel roll'in, and like always..... Thanks a lot!
The beautiful thing about RU-vid is that you can stop what you're watching and go find a video that meets your preferences! Just a thought long drawn out thought!
Unfortunately there are really no vehicles out right now that make me want to get rid of my 12 year vehicle. At some point I will have to buy something but I can wait. I’m not into gadgets and tech that can break and also spy on you. The manufacturers and the government are killing America’s love affair with the automobile. Probably not an accident.
Looking into buying one of these. Looks sweet. Other than the gas mileage, your dislikes aren't a big deal to me. I never use cruise control so that's good. LOL.. 😬I Like the steps and the 1" wheel spacers. Make me a deal I can't refuse and I'll take it.. 😉😬👍
Hello there. My 2022 SV was an amazing choice due to its functionality. It doesnt have leather seats, moonroof or 360 whose I use too in my previous vehicles but it does a job well. The only thing I dont get is - why the back window is not power ? And neither SV, SL or PRO4-X offers that feature. Everytime you would need some extra air yoi would have to stop, get out, open the rear door to open that window 😅. Maybe sounds funny but sometimes gets annoying if you start driving and forgot to open it
I have a 24 frontier SL 4x4. Dont have the cruise control issue. Gas mileage sucks. I get 22-23 mpg hiway. 16 in town. Remote start non issue, took me only once to learn it. The AEB is pretty raw. Had to shut off the rear sensors
I have to admit, your dislikes aren't a big deal at all. Gas mileage on a 300 hp 4x4 sounds decent. I would have been happier if they still made a king cab version with a 4 cylinder and a manual transmission, but my needs aren't very demanding.
I think some of your dislikes are kind of stupid. I have the same truck and I don’t have problems with the cruise and the gas mileage is normal for a six cylinder with that much horsepower.
Idk what year your truck is, if it's 2023 and up they had already reprogrammed the cruise, all the 2022 and below had the messed up cruise which has since been fixed. As per the gas mileage, just because it's normal doesn't mean that I have to like it! My mustang has almost twice the HP and gets better gas mileage! But thanks for your comment!
I don't own a vehicle of my own. I share a vehicle with a family member, which is a blessing, or can be an inconvenience if our schedules conflict. I would love to own your truck with your 5 or future dislikes. I completely understand they are bothersome to you, however for me, I would deal with it and be grateful of owning a durable, reliable, affordable truck. Perhaps, you should follow through and trade your frontier in for a truck that meets your standards. The car market is about to crash or crashed. So much inventory on dealership lots, inventory increasing immensely, and unsold for days on end. Certainly, trading in your Frontier for a truck/SUV that meets your standards can be had...dealerships are so desperate to sell. My 2 cents.
At 12:38, it's because idiots get out of the vehicle, forgetting to put it in the park. After many deaths due to running over themselves, they had to moron-proof it.
Apparently you missed the part when I said that most of my dislikes were first world problems...... also the video wasn't about reliability. I would hope that a brand new truck wouldn't have reliability issues in 4 months..... come back in a year and I'll do another video about reliability.
I have the same problem with the cruise control (2023) , which is terrible. So it appears Nissan never fixed that flaw. I never rev my motor past 3500rpm...but the cruise control tries to go beyond 5000rpm whenever it gets a chance.
Is better than going to the dealership for an engine light or airbag light issues and find out that you might end up going back again with other brand vehicles, but Nissan will always come up with a solution
That RD 350 behind you is gorgeous. I had either a 72 or 73 RD 350 in the maroon color that bike was an absolute maniac lol what a blast ride I was 17 or 18 when I got it. Now I’m wanting one again after seeing yours. Are they hard to rebuild and thanks for the video I’ve got just over 5000 miles on my street glide special so I will be taking care of that service myself. Thank you.
I actually traded a CB750 that I picked up in NY for that RD. I did nothing to that bike besides ride it. She was an animal. I kinda wished that I kept it but I can't keep them all!
I feel you with the mpgs. I have a 06 Pathfinder 4 L V6 unless you're on the freeway it's typically 15 to 60 miles per gallon. Nissan engines are built for horsepower and you find yourself using it so if you're hot riding the vehicle around you're gonna get crappy gas mileage it's just the way it is. It's hard to keep your foot out of it. I remember premium fuel as well. Hopefully after break in a while, it'll get better gas mileage. You gotta watch what tires you run on it too. I have BFGoodrich KO twos 10 ply with a heavy tire so my gas morale just stuck like 14 to 15. I do havre over 245000 miles on it. I run Amsoil. Starter just died last month. Original starter.
I recently bought a Base 2016 Canyon and replaced the stock 16-inch rims with 18-inch SLT rims, and my fuel economy dropped by 2 MPG. I then replaced the muffler with a Cherrybomb Vortex muffler and the truck sounds more aggressive, and the fuel economy improved by about 2 MPG. I am also looking at a K&N air intake to replace the stock restrictive intake, and it should also improve fuel economy.
For 2023 and below Nissan has a service bulletin that updates the transmission shift points. I guess enough people complained about it. Aaaaaaand it's for all nissan models with adaptive cruise.
I have the same truck and I definitely agree with you about the cruise control. It sucks! I still have my 2006 Nissan frontier truck which I bought brand new back in 2006. And I always use the cruise control in that truck. But I didn't know about the cruise control on my new truck. And now I don't like using it because how it works as you described.😞
Make sure you have insurance on everything you ship in a truck/van with a company. Sometimes there insurance will not cover damages or fires to your goods.
Great review you might like the Nismo upgraded lightweight wheels & upgraded billstien shocks with reservoirs, they also have a nice leveling/lift kit & it's installed at dealership & doesn't affect warranty ps they also have an exhaust & bumpers
The adaptive cruse can be turned off and run normal. The engine stopping after remote start is pretty normal on a lot of brands. One reason i think is theft and making sure the key is with you when you go to drive.
I have the same clutch spring mod on my 17 GT, but it doesnt sit all the way back on the small horizontal pole, its off about half an inch... I dont recall any clips that hold it in, it just sits there... any advice? I stuck my head down there because I was starting to feel a click when I pushed the clutch pedal down. This click didnt exist yesterday so... im trying to figure that out too... I am also an A&P mechanic, work out of south florida.. you have good informative videos.. kudos on the channel. Let me know what you think.
When I took my pedals apart to do the clutch master cylinder I broke the side of the perch. It's just cheap plastic, I'd pop it all back apart and check that.
@@DoItYourselfDoItRight I went down there today.... but I cant get the perch to sit on the little pole correctly.. didnt remove it because i already have the steeda in there but I noticed some play in the clutch pedal itself, like side to side play.. I dont know if thats normal... if I move it enough the perch sits right actually.. so maybe my clutch pedal is off.. might have to do what you did... shiiii
@@DoItYourselfDoItRight quick update, the damn clutch pedal is about to snap off 😂😂, ford decided to spot weld it from factory.. 🤦🏽♂️ smh..at least I know the problem now, gets stuck half way down now between gears.. it’s about to shear off.. pedal is moving side to side.. lots of play… wish me luck bro 😅
I've been averaging about 22mpg on my 24 pro 4x. Tonneau cover made no difference. I find the configuration of control buttons is chaotic, especially diff lock. But great truck.
I agree about cruise control, however the adaptive saved my life when a car suddenly slowed down in front of me to avoid hitting a deer. Obviously I did not see the deer and the cruise control sensed the car in front of me and slowed me down. Agree, cameras are absolute shit. May upgrade if possible. I wonder what the 2025 is like. I know the 2025 has telescoping steering wheel. I think a couple of more iterations and this truck will be damn near perfect.
Mileage is not great! Agree. But I generally get over 20 MPG because I'm pokey... Get 24 mpg on long trips: BTW you forgot to put oil IN the filter before reinstalling. The manual shift does exactly what the Tacoma manual shift does. The way to think of this is the sifter locks you into the highest gear. So when you are in stop and go traffic, move the lever over and put it in 4 or 5th gear to keep it from hunting up to 6-7- 8 around town - works great!
I didn't forget.... I just didn't do it because I'm not making a mess for no reason! So many vehicles with vertical oil filters that empty out every time they shut off and they don't have issues..... one start without out won't hurt it.
@@DoItYourselfDoItRight I know what you mean about the mess. I am not allowed to change my own oil in my ( own ) driveway. You did a great job of keeping things clean.
