I have a clanking sound coming from the drivers side front end of my ‘17 Nissan Titan. It typically happens when I‘m turning, and 95% of the time it only clanks once. The truck has 80k miles. I’ve attached a video of me backing out of the garage with it happening. This started after my lower...

Hello - I think I've narrowed tire choices for my wife's AWD Highlander down to two options. The HP71 or Terrain Contact H/T. Discount Tire has a promotion right now that puts the Continentals very close to the Kumho's in price. $564 vs $608 CR has them close. Most ratings are identical with...

I'm looking for recommendations for seat covers on my '17 Nissan Titan. I'm looking for something that will wear well, resists staining, and doesn't look like my grandparents seatcovers.... I currently have tan cloth seats, which look nice when clean but are a bit of a pain to keep looking nice...

I've not posted here in a while, but I seem to remember we had some carpet experts on the forum. I'm trying to select between two carpets, and could use some thoughts. With the exception of the material type (Anso Nylon vs Polyester) all the rest of the specs seem to be virtually identical. I...

When I purchased my vehicle last December, Auto Armor interior protection got thrown in the package. I'm not a believer in the stuff, but this is a case where I got sloppy and let something slip by me when signing documents. The dealer massaged the numbers a bit at the end, and I didn't catch...

I'm puzzling over an issue I'm having. For some reason, the condensate from my AC coil seems to prefer going out the secondary drain. The primary works fine for a few days, then I'll find it spilling out the secondary drain on the floor. The primary is not clogged. I ran bleach water down it...

Not sure if this is a better topic for here, or consumer electrics, but computers seems to make sense. I have a Cyberpower CP1000. Up to this point, I've just had my computer and monitor hooked to it. My Brother wireless laser printer was in another room, on a different circuit. I did some...

I'm not going to classify this as a rant, because I knew better. So I'm just sharing this as one of those stories where I shake my head.... My wife's Rav4 needs brakes. I wanted to get it done this weekend, so instead of ordering Centric pads and rotors from Rock Auto like I usually do, I...

Last week, while eBay was having their 20% off everything sale I bought a receiver hitch for my Titan. I come home tonight to find it lying on my driveway. Not in a box, not wrapped with anything protective - just a hitch. There are chips and scratches all over this thing. I get that it's...

I've got a Harbor Freight 21 gallon compressor. It does not like starting up in cooler weather, I usually have to cycle the start/stop lever back and fourth a couple seconds at a time to keep the reset from popping. After several cycles, things loosen up and away it goes. It will start on its...

I retired my trusty Nissan Frontier earlier this year for a '17 Nissan Titan with the 5.6 gas engine. This is my first experience with a DI engine, so I'm looking for any advice people might have. It specs 0w20 oil, but I could have sworn I read somewhere in the manual where 5w30 was...

I've got a Briggs 422707-1529-01 in a John Deere 116. I'm getting high voltages at the battery and PTO Clutch (15.6v) and I think the issue lies in my stator. It's a dual circuit and not within specs when I check it against the Briggs Opposed Service manual. The DC amps are low compared to what...

With my Nissan Frontier at 197K, I've been watching year end sales. With crew cab 2017 Titan 4x4s being listed for $36K (SV with Comfort/Convenience Package), I'm thinking of making an aggressive offer and seeing if I get any bites in the last 2 weeks of the year. And by aggressive, I'm thinking...

We have a house that was built in the early 2000's. It seems to be fairly tightly built for the time - spray foamed, sheathed with foam insulation, etc. It's always bothered me that the furnace is sucking in combustion air from the inside of the house, vs. an outside air intake like you see in...

Late last winter, my '08 Frontier started making a loud whining noise when I started it. This only happened when it was cold (below freezing) outside AND the engine was cold. It wasn't a belt squealing sound, it's not quite as high pitched and grating. The noise faded away after 30 seconds to a...

I have an ASUS RT-AC3100. One of the features it has is the Trend Micro AI Protection. I've had it enabled for about a year, and all has been quiet until a few weeks ago when I started getting "High Severity Two Way IPS Hits" I really have no idea what these are, and Google hasn't been much of a...

Long story short - I pulled my back lifting my son's hockey bag and was pretty crippled up, so I decided to hit the "easy" button and have the Nissan dealership here do my coolant, ATF, and transfer case fluid change. That was 30K ago. Said dealership has since sold. Yesterday I noticed my...

We've owned this house 6 years, and we've always had some reddish substance that appears. When I change out the whole house filter, it's all over the outside and the filter is red. I'd describe it as slimy and smooth - not grainy at all. I just changed a leaking shower valve this weekend...

My wife abuses tires. Over the 15 years I've known her, her car has consistently gotten 1/2 the life out of tires that mine has. This is across multiple vehicles in this time. I've grown to accept this, and just know we are buying tires more frequently for her. She's also independent, and...

I have not done many UOA's, but thought I'd do one since my truck is getting up in age, and I wanted to try to spot any lurking problems. My plan for this truck is to keep it another 30K, which is about a year and a half. It's had a steady diet of PP 5w30 it's whole life, and 7.5K OCI's. As...
