Sounds bad ass I’m wanting to do the Cajun upgrades to it
You said you put end caps on your bumper? It’s possible to just replace the left portion of the bumper? Great video please let me know!
Yeah theres like a plastic cover on each end of my bumper. It would be easy to replace just one of them if you could find them individually.
Do you have a link to the adapters for the coils

When you're creativity outweighs your budget 😂 this is G E N I O U S 👏🏽
Are you advocating for over-filling the oil? Half way up the threads is massively over the top of the dipstick, no one recommends this, not even Firman.

I want the adapter, how do I get it?

Ah crap. Bought some RTC based on the recommendation in this video. A month later it comes time to do the seal replacement and for the life of me I can’t remember why I bought the oem Nissan RTV sealant. (Bought like 10 maintenance items all at once) After following along with this video, I get the nut installed. Only to get to the part where you mention the RTV after the nut is already installed. 😅 Oh well, hoping it should be fine
Great info! I ordered and installed on my 2017 Titan. Tailgate opens properly now but when I close it, there's a pop sound. The pop occurs right before it's shut, and seems to be coming from the hinge area. Any idea what's causing this?
Could be the strut.
@@TitanTown I thought the same thing so I took the tail-light out and watched the strut when the pop occurs. It's not the strut, seems to be around the hinge area. It might be going out and need replacing down the road.
Is that tint on the headlights?
Yes.
@TitanTown Looks great. What did you use and did it affect the brightness of your headlights?
@@ajgoble2183 vivid vinyl light tint. It does reduce the light output. I have vivid vinyl dark tint on my taillights. You can buy a sheet enough to do 2 lights.

Great timing...this is my next job! Do you know roughly the mileage you got out of your old rotors and pads?
About 5 years/60 000kms.
Did you consider a 94R/H7 replacement option?
Been running the x-RT over these and not too happy with the wear so far mind you one ton truck. Was gonna try these out but that vibration at highway speeds is not a deal breaker but is annoying.
I had them recently rebalanced and it is resolved for now.
One made out of nylon would last for many years. My parents bough a house in New Orleans in 1957. It had a sliding glass door that rolled on nylon rollers on an aluminum channel. It still rolled fine in 2005 when Hurricane Katrina flooded the house. I can't imagine how many times that door was opened and closed. After Katrina the house was torn down. The neighbors eventually bought the lot from the government.
HDPE would be better too. I'm sure someone could 3d print these easily.
What placed above it? That was a damn good haul👀

Didn't your Titan do better? I love RAM but I honestly thought the HEMI was going to blow lol. Titan for the Win 🏆!
Yeah beat the trx by 30ft!
I’ve got a 2010. What year do you have?
2013
Hell yeah 👍. What state is Minden in?
Ontario
Sexyyy!
Nice!
Thanks!
Yes that's my strong tough Nissan Titan Trucks 😘🥰😍🤩🤗☺️😊
Mine isn’t smoking but it sure does stink! Valve cover gaskets are absolutely cooked and it leaks like crazy on the headers.
These batteries hate the cold… please make us a follow up video for an update.

Did you need an alignment after the 1.5 spacer?
You should.
This is the second time it's stuck. I wonder if there's a permanent solution?
Idle might be too high or belt too tight. I had a dayco belt on when mine was doing it. I switched back to a polaris belt and it stopped.

Thanks for making this❤
You're so welcome!
WOW. I've had this same mod completed for a few months. Did the CSF radiator, CJD electric fans, CSF condensor, Hayden aux trans cooler, Z1Offroad CAI & Z1 silicone master hose set, in red like yours. I used a vaccum system for both refills to minimize air pockets and had zero leaks or issues, EXCEPT it kept randomly overheating. It would do it going down the road for several minutes, then drop back down with no correlation to engine load, but especially did so when idling, and without the extra air movement to help out even boiled out of the reservoir the first time because I hadn't noticed the temp gauge while I was eating my lunch. I tested for a blown head gasket after that incident, fearing the worst, but it thankfully did not show I had exhaust gas in the coolant. So, I went ahead and purged the system with a no spill funnel and got some out, but it built back pressure and boiled over while I was purging it, which it seemed like had allowed it to pull some in again anyway, if that was the case to start with. It seemed like that process helped, but I was still having the same issue ocassionally, just less frequent. Went ahead and skimmed through this video to see if there were any tips, as I've gathered many others from your channel over the years. After hours and weeks of frustration, you may have just solved my problem entirely by simply pointing out that the stupid stock cap on the CSF radiators doesn't allow for the return hose to function 🤦♂️ I guess that's what I get for assuming they would've sent the proper radiator cap for the application. Luckily my old radiator was sitting 10 ft from me when I watched this, so I just switched them and ran the truck with the reservoir cap off, topped off the coolant and it seems to be working great. Hopefully the issue is resolved 🤞 Long story short, THANK YOU for (as far as I can tell) helping me to resolve what has been quite a frustrating enigma the past few weeks 😂
Glad you got it figured out!
Can you do a video on how to put a digital instrument cluster in a Nissan Titan?
Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I probably won't unless I have issues and need to replace mine.
Husqvarna has superseded part numbers and has a bearing kit available now. I have a LGTH22V48 and my plastic bushing is wallowed out.
A bearing kit would be way better.
I appreciate you...worked like a charm...Thanks
Glad it helped
As always...well done! Curious, how many miles do you have on your Pro4x?
About 130000kms.
@TitanTown wow...I thought my 2013 had low miles, but I am over 150,000 kms
What kind lift do you have on your titan?
Rough Country 2" level struts up front and PRG 1" mini lift in the back.
We’re you having problems or are you proactively preventing the smod the coolant leaking into the trans. They say to either get a full aluminum radiator or get a delegated trans cooler and bypass the trans coolant lines in the radiator.
No problems yet. I had broke off the drain valve on the radiator when I filled it last time and there was corrosion on it. Ive hear that the plastic will eventually crack too.
@@TitanTownI’ve got a 2012 with 230,000 miles on it. So far it’s been great but this that I’ve read has worried me especially since I can’t afford a new radiator and or separate trans cooler. As I’ve said so far no sign of the problem but it still worries me as well as the manifold problems I’ve read about.
@@jamesfair9751 I haven't heard of the transmission issue in later titans it seems to be more Frontiers and early year Titans.
Dont bypass the cooler lines from the radiator. Especially if you have cold winters. Only dumb people do that. Its a heat exchanger, and it works both ways, to heat the fluid as well as cool it. Most Titans just form a slow coolant leak and do have crappy factory radiators. The trans leak was never really an issue on the Titans. A stock Koyo replacement is of high quality and will last long time. Aluminum rad is a waste on a Titan unless you just do it for fun...these trucks have limited mods to make more power and therefore wont run any hotter than stock.

bro did you remove the headlight dust caps or cut out a hole for the fan to breathe?
No, you don't need to they still are working great. It circulates the air inside. Same principle as a halogen heating up the inside of the lens.
But what if you have to wash your engine? Wouldn't water get into the housings?
@@aarifsalim7593 put the dust caps back on the bulbs fot inside.
How do you get rid of codes with no cats
tuning
The Motomaster X-Trail AT are excellent tires. I put them on my 2017 Chevy Silverado as a replacement for the Goodyear Wranglers. I regularly pull a 16’ trailer and drive in many back country roads with uneven surfaces. I’m completely satisfied with these USA made tires
Thanks for your input.
Is there an alternative to using that tool thing on the fuel line with like regular tools
Thanks for the question. The answer is no. You need a fuel line tool specific for Nissans.
What year is your truck? I have a 2013. I saw a post on some forums about a 2011 having issued with this mod. Idk if they had a tune. Also can you send me a link to the tuner?
Hi, its a 2014. You need a regular uprev tune, then have it retuned for the throttle body. Buy it from uprev.com and say that you have or will be getting a bigger throttle body.kzread.info/dash/bejne/n4xtyLyEY7PZlJM.htmlsi=NoRrO3SF-T3_R_bZ
Were did you get this book or is it in the owners manual?

Should have seen this earlier.. I changed upper, lower control arms n tie rods today.. waited a week for parts..!!! And I pressed out the bolts from the bottom control arm and the shock bolt from the driver side cus they were stuck due to the ridges they had on bolts..
For any bolt that passes through a bushing, i put a little anti sieze on the non threaded portion which helps with them siezing in the bushing
Thanks for the tip.
Very detailed video but I expect nothing less from your channel. Can't wait till you tell us what the long term testing reveals. Great job. 👍
Thank you very much. So far it is working well (1 week in). I am getting tuning verified then some more testing.
