  1. I had 12/49 on Furbird with the wheelie bar setup. It went through the traps in 6th on the limiter on the nitrous. Never did that bullshit again 🀣 BTW, that was the 1/8th mile 😈 I will never, ever, ever reveal how much nitrous I REALLY had on that motor. It should NEVER have stayed together. I will also never reveal which of my multiple engines I had it on. One day, someone will get the magic motor. Or will they...
  2. Just look on Youtube and you'll see why to not buy a Trane anymore. My 30 year old unit has a motherboard. Good luck finding anything that doesn't have one. That's actually what got taken out by the lightning. Along with a few other things. Literally let the smoke out of it.
  3. Ironic you resurrected this thread. I was just talking to a yard that is on Hollander the other day about how few people know about them and he knows it's an issue. He sells parts on ebay with local shipping addresses pretty regularly and will email them to let them know they are local to save them the shipping fees. It's almost like Hollander and car-part don't want anybody except industry people to know to use them to source parts.
  4. Towing in overdrive is a BAD IDEA. Period. Regardless of vehicle. I didn't LITERALLY mean a sensor on the driveshaft itself; output shaft sensor if I have to be exact. Regardless, one (or both) are telling the computer the diffs are going this speed and the wheels are telling it something else because the ratios are not right. I checked on the Titan forum and there is no fix for this (not the same truck, but still.) I couldn't find anybody specifically mentioning cruise issues on the Frontier forum. Sorry, brother. You threw the parts cannon at it, now you gotta throw the parts cannon at it again. Or get to scanning.
  5. Now that we have the Paul Harvey version... ... we have Titan parts in a Frontier AND a gear ratio change. (#sarcasm in case you can't pick up on that as a lot of people on here CAN'T SEEM TO DO!!!) I can't help you. Neither can any of my Nissan tech guys. They absolutely will not do anything aftermarket unless it's Stillen or Nismo stuff (plug-and-play). I installed cruise controls back in the late 90's/early 00's but that all tied in to factory VSS signals or we strapped magnets onto driveshafts. Factory cruise controls vary in how they operate, and when you change gear ratios, 6th gear could "believe" that the wheels are spinning because of driveshaft speed compared to wheel speed due to the variance because you changed the ratios. Or that you are skidding (wheel speed is too slow compared to driveshaft speed.) I'm not saying that is 100% how it works, but since you changed all that and that is when it started, that is what it sounds like to me. Driveshaft speed vs wheel speed has changed and the computers are shutting down the cruise control. Fifth gear may still be within some factory variance but sixth is outside of that and it's preventing it. I had a single ABS sensor go out on my old Charger patrol car and it took out my cruise control. So a single failure when you have 20+ computers in a car can cause all kinds of havoc. I'm sure somebody has done this in a Frontier forum and has an easy fix for this. Probably something stupid like "use sensors out of a Versa" or something out of left field. Then again you might be fucked and have to go with a stand-alone cruise control and wrap the driveshaft like it's 1985. BTW, why did you go with highway gears in a 4X4? LOL gas mileage, that's what Prius' are for πŸ˜‚
  6. Did you change gear ratios? Please for the love of all that is Holy tell me you didn't change gear ratios... Story time. We had an AWD Rogue come in with a host of tranny issues. Warranty was denied because one tire had been replaced with the wrong size and the other three were correct. So, yeah, a bad sensor (or if you have no codes, possibly a cracked reluctor ring, BEEN THERE) can cause all kinds of weird shit to happen. I think you have codes that may not be triggering a light. Specifically it sounds like the output speed sensor from the transmission and the wheel speed sensor are not "seeing" the same numbers and the BCM is going "Negative Ghostrider" to your cruise commands. The reluctor ring drama (which technically was the flexplate) caused the crank sensor to shut the engine off at high rpm's because it only opened up and triggered the issue then. You know, when you were towing uphill, or passing somebody on a two-lane road and almost caused a head-on collision... you know, nothing important. AFTER they put a motor in and it KEPT doing it was when they discovered the hairline crack. BTW, that tech still has that flexplate as a reminder, as far as I know, and he's now a Master Technician.
  7. Time for an LS swap.
  8. Is this at idle? It's never going to have great voltage at idle. It's not a car with a 6500 redline. This is why HID's flicker at idle on startup. You gotta sit at about 2000rpm's to get anything close to a "real" reading.
  9. So, with these two carefully edited lines, all we have to do is remove all Harley Davidson's and their worshippers off the road. I fixed it. Nobel Peace Prize. Meanwhile, at Justice League Headquarters, I actually stop when on duty and take the time to clear this bullshit from the traffic lanes. Only took one time picking up a hot road gator to realize ALWAYS wear thick gloves when preventing disaster πŸ₯΅
  10. Might as well sell me all your 99 ECM's since I have 3 of them. And yes, I know those will not be clearance pricing.
  11. Like I said, just go ahead and load up all the unwanted SXS's and Busa's/ZX-14's/etc. and he can just take a detour through Alabama on his way back 🀣
  12. Yep, that might do it. I'm surprised it didn't stink to high heaven. I think all my birds have K&N's.
  13. Hell, just dump all your inventory on here, Joe can be our u-ship, and we'll pay him to deliver it around the country. I need a side by side. Or a ZX-14R. Or both 🀣
  14. That's not a spoiler, that's an advertisement!
  15. I'm sure Joe has 15 or 20 motors in stock, he'll cut you a deal 🀣 Brother, when my FPR went out I had fuel up to the bottom of the throttle body blades and it didn't hurt my motor. Roll it outside, pull the plastics, plugs, tarp it up, and crank up Old Faithful and see how high the fuel shoots in the air 😁 Don't do what I did and do that in the shop where it hit the ceiling.
  16. I have AT&T (personal and state) and a Verizon hotspot (state). They both suck at my house. Looking at the coverage maps and talking to my neighbors, T-Mobile is the way to go. I have multiple places I have to cover that my state equipment just absolutely does not work in (kinda vital, you would think they would want that BS to work) but people on T-Mobile don't have any issues. YMMV, and I know nobody has every area covered 100%, but it might be worth checking out for yourself. Side note: the Verizon hotspot is FAR WORSE than the AT&T phones as far as coverage goes in my area.
  17. Safelite used to say anything less than the length of a dollar bill. But I'm not sure they still work on that length or not because you're still going to see it. At least it's not in the field of view.
  18. Same BS they make every windshield out of. I do have to say, though, that factory Ford windshield took a beating in my 15 and never cracked (and still hasn't - it's still in our fleet). The factory 19 was significantly weaker. The aftermarket replacement is even weaker than the factory one. But mine all seem to last WAY longer than everybody else's. When asked why I've only needed 1 windshield in 10 years on the road my answer is always the same; "Jesus and window tint." πŸ˜‡
  19. I have to say my 2135TI (I'm pretty sure that's the number) IR 1/2" drive impact has been pretty bulletproof. That being said that Ryobi 18v cordless I got last year puts out just as much power. But, like you, I have that big 60 gallon compressor and I won't be getting rid of my shop air. I do woodworking, metal working, and auto work all in my shop and have way too many tools that are corded, cordless, and air. The air nailers, framing nailers, pin nailers, air hammer, and body work tools are either exorbitantly expensive in other options, impractical, or just simply unavailable in electric. Then again, had a friend of mine a couple weeks back that had a couple of lug nuts that had self welded and it took my 210 pound ass with a 6 foot cheater pipe and a breaker bar to get them to break free so NO AMOUNT of air or electric power I had available could handle those. Sometimes you gotta use the right tool; whether air, electric, or butt-cheek 😁
  20. It had a bed on it when it left your driveway. Taillight warranty. 😁
  21. As I stated in another thread, I did all my pulls before laying the conduit in the ground. Hell of a lot easier rolling that big monster out straight and sliding all that shit on than trying to pull that monster cable through the assembly.
  22. I put mine in conduit, not because I ever expected anybody to be out there with a trencher, but you never know when somebody might be out there with a posthole digger after me. And unless you're fucking Hulk Hogan you're not busting through conduit and the wire in the ground with a posthole digger. I'll also say this. The direct burial cable I took out of the ground that was run to the previous well house from 1977 was cracked in multiple places, but back then the entire inside was coated in what looked like white lithium grease so even if it did crack the wire was protected. I could have easily cut through some of that old brittle sheathing with a shovel.
  23. Definitely a Christmas miracle... I'm about to 100% agree with Tomek (only visible because Zero quoted him). Swampnut RAILS Zero for quoting YouTube (as do others) not to mention the length of said YouTube videos, then posts a 15 minute YouTube video that only defends HIS VIEWPOINTS, then attacks when somebody calls HIM out on it. This is literally "pot calling the kettle", aka "let he who hath no sin" behavior. Classic. At this rate I may unblock Tomek and block Swampnut before the year runs out because I think this is at least 3 times this year I've actually agreed with Tomek on something. It's almost like he's changing. He's pulling a Dave on me.
  24. That's why they pay me the little bucks.
