You're close enough. If you can, take a road trip this spring and chill.

Not as of yet I don't think.

Waiting until roads start to clear and stuff. I'd hate to have a meet this spring like we had last year.

Diff cover is a pretty easy installation. Drain fluid, unbolt, install new/old cover with new gasket, torque bolts down to specification.

IIRC anyway




Hey Dave, I need your input.

Ah, damn I knew it was more complicated than I wanted. I just added Redline fluid not too long ago. Don't really feel like draining it...

Well, I had a good deal on the diff cover but don't really want to do all that other stuff.

So the front bushings are kaput on my van. I'd love to be able to install better ones that don't wear out so quickly. Maybe get a sway bar on there. LOL! Need to make it a high performance family car...

Maybe it's from all that street racing you do in the minivan. Yeah, I've seen you do it.

Default window streatk

Any of you guys have the window streak issue? I have streaks and am going to need to retint my windows. But obviously I want to fix the issues first?

Any recommendations for dealers in the twin cities that seem competent/fair and have fixed this issue for you? Looks like the window streak is a TSB (# NTB03029) from what I understand?

Thanks for the help!

I took mine to Morrie's in Brooklyn Park. That's where I bought the car. They did a good job.

I took mine to feldmann nissan in Bloomington/Edina and they did a wonderful job. Talk to Rick Mize and tell him Andrew told you to see him. He fixed my window streak and also my window motor that had a mind of its own.
