oh i need to add a laser thermostat into my tool box... it would definitely help to see if the tranny temp is at the right temp to get a more accurate reading.

I took someone's advice last night and decided to buy a siphon pump with the rubber bulb at walmart for just $4. It had a long plastic tubing end that matches exactly in length to my truck's long ATF gauge and a short end to empty out into an empty container. The ATF from the filler tube...

Thanks for the quick replies guys, good to know.

Would it be a problem if i overfilled my transmission fluid by 4 oz?

Not harmful at all... switching brands is a good idea if you're gonna do a UOA, with at least 2 runs on the same brand i would say.

I always change mine out early than recommended. For me, i changed mine out at around 15k miles when i bought my truck new. Then afterward do whatever interval that lets you sleep safely at night.

This may sound like a newb question.. For parking, I know that i should apply the parking brakes before releasing the brake pedal and shifting to "P". But usually what's the correct way to release it when starting to drive off from a parked position? E.g.: Should i hold down the brake pedal...

Ok, thought my local auto stores would have some of the permatex ceramic extreme brake lubricant but they don't. I guess it's still too new to be out on the shelves here. I did got the permatex ultra disc brake caliper lube (silicone formula); red bottle. It has holy moly in it or so it says.

Can anyone recommend me a good caliper grease and/or brake lubricant to apply the back of brake pads and the caliper pins? Can i use the same caliper grease that is used to apply the pins and use it on the back of the brake pads? I was told i would need like a anti-seize or "anti-squeal" for the...

I agree with the amsoil. I have the 06 nissan titan, should be similar in design. I use amsoil severe gear 75w-140. Takes me about 2.25 qts. to fill up.

Yes indeed.

Came in my local amsoil distribution center here arlington, tx for some amsoil brake fluids for a brake bleed that'll be part of my rotor/pad change this wkend. And to my luck, the guy at the front desk came out and ripped my invoice and told me that he's gonna take my order out and just give it...

BearZDefect, Yes, i plan on just replacing the pads and probably bleed out the brake system. Might do the rotors in the future. I would really like to do this myself since i like to work on my own truck. I've been researching and looking up info. on brake jobs myself and found that it is pretty...

Luckily I may seem to know a mechanic who owns an independent shop who can probably charge less for the labor. Can anyone recommend a premium ceramic brake pad? So far i have heard of Raybestos being fairly decent brake pads.

That seems to be ideal, ill look into buying aftermarket pads and bring it to a shop. Any ideas as to the average cost for a a regular brake pad/shoes job at a dealership or let's say at midas?

I have a 06 Nissan Titan 5.6L pickup at 60k miles now and brakes are squeeling. This is my first time getting brakes replaced. Im debating whether to let the dealer or aftermarket places such as (Meineke, Midas, JustBrakes, etc) service my brakes. Can anyone offer me some advice to which one...

That's why my nickname is "highroller" hehe jk. Honestly, i feel i should drive slower. Gas prices aren't coming down anytime soon and im not getting a pay raise anytime soon either.
