Patchie... I ain't no Frontier owner but at such a low mileage you can switch to a synthetic oil or a syntec blend... what do you think? Where E2R?

Aye... we reach 40 pages? wow...

Well I had a squeaky A/C belt, sprayed the pulley with some WD-40 and it seems to have stopped. Have to check to see what's wrong with it.

Battery seems to be geting close to the end of life - cells loosing water. That have to change too.

check yuh belt for wear and tear pallies may be it is time to replace it

Freak... Remember if the battery fails, you should still be able to kick start the vehicle. Got some belt lube if you need any.

Better get the belt checked out soon....minor maintenance... is still maintenance nonetheless....

No fighting boys.... not for Amsoil.... btw anyone know the prices of the Amsoil products at Chaguanas Auto Supplies?

I changed the belts last months

I think is the a/c pulley rubbing on the alternator pulley

and how I supposed to kick start that? roll it down a hill is the only way Mr. Green

...i eh too ashamed to say, but i never kick start a vehicle, more so because i never had to and until my van, everything i drove was auto.

Yeah, so if anyone trying to kick start a pickup, do it in 2nd gear okay? That first gear man... you'll just buck and cut off
