just picked up a 1996 king cab with some problems, rust, fuel injector problem, power steering pump going out, one head light turns on in the day, and no rear end licence plate lights. So I'm hoping to be able to fix it all on my own with the help of youtube of course since I don't know to much about engines, lol. Hey could you do an update on what you have done.
@jasan509 I'll try and get the new video I did up ASAP. So far I've replaced the vac lines, put a Magnaflow cat, new muffler, started using Pennzoil Ultra, and I'm hoping to drop in a K&N filter this saturday. I probably forgot some things, but those are the ones that stand out.
I had problems with my brake lights and replaced the wiring, from the lights to the brake pedal. Also, check your fuses! I also had problems with the flasher - there is one installed under the instrument panel, and I replaced the switch on the steering column - and it finally worked. If your lights as a whole are going out, turn your lights on, and have someone watch the lights as you go around the truck and "shake" the wiring harness until the lights flicker - then replace that wire section.
@powerimprint The tires are 235's. The rims are the stock 15 inch ones. I want to get 30x8 tires or something along the lines of that. Did you cut your fender flares in order to fit the tires?
@Spydr14 - I had to fold the front of each front fender back and then - with a sledge hammer - smashed the rear of the fenders back so that the 31 inch tires didn't rub.
I had the tires given to me - and they look nice, but I really want smaller tires.
If I were you, I'd purchase BF Goodrich A/T T/A KO LT235/75R15/C. If this is what size you've got, stick with it, because they fit the best. The bigger the tire, the more weight you have and the less gas mileage!
dude,u need a new fusible link,check it out ,its on your positive battery cable,it will solve your electrical problems,i had same problem with my 85 ,if its melted or burnt,replace.
Hey,I like your nissan,say you need a weber,well,I got one for you,its a 32/36 weber,I have the complete kit,I have a 85 nissan 720 4x4 king cab,its on you tube,I have 2 videos,check em out.I put a new jasper engine in with a new 32/36 weber and a new jasper transmission,perty much new everything,I had it since 93,SO iAM A EXPERT WHEN IT COMES TO NISSANS,CHECK MY VIDEO OUT AND LEAVE A COMMENT AND RATE IT.
Try replacing the flasher unit under the dash they are only a few bucks and that will most likely solve ur signal and hazard problem. Nice truck im totally jealous!
No its more like a relay. Its usually a little black cube located under the dash on the drivers side with two or three wires coming out of it. its what makes the clicking sound when you turn on the signal. if you cant find it try turning on the signal and listen for it.
gotta love the pathfinder in the background lol its a 89-94?

Nice truck man, if you lived back in guam everyone would ask to buy that. especially since its still got original interior.

The tailgate appears to indicate this as being an S/T (sport truck) model. However it's also four-wheel-drive as evidenced by the grille.

@ClassicTVMan81 You are correct sir. It is a 4x4 ST model.
