Mr. Ed

well, engine mounts in as of 8 this am...mine is gone....

 

hope you all figure yours out.

 

the mount originally cracked on top first, so no one caught that it was bad till it cracked all the way down recently.

well...I also found my growling and vibrating issue... it's been doing this for well over 20k miles....and was aparently missed because the crack began at the top... so when inspecting from underneath everything appeared ok. http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd179/00mred00/SSPX0074.jpg

those of you that have replaced hangars...did you replace all three?

 

 

 

Exhaust hangers= 5...or three locations. Each of the mufflers with two on each and the center y pipe hanger...

 

not saying it would fix anything, but curious if anyone had replaced that center hanger...

Yea, did you invent your own?

 

 

no, I bought some at an autoparts store...

 

they are designed for a truck, but fit nicely after some trimming to the mounting hardware with the dremel.

 

didn't solve the problem though....

 

I may have posted on the wrong post here...but at one point in time we had a post going on the same subject where we thought it might be the swaybar bushings... after a refresher reading here I see the focus has been on a different set of bushings so my bad.

 

those of you that have replaced hangars...did you replace all three?

 

The dealership first thought mine was my exhaust (it was really loud) and then with stock cans diagnosed it as being hot spots on my flywheel.. changed out the clutch and flywheel and I still have the same problem... flywheel was burned up pretty bad tho.

 

Car was on coilovers..switched back to stock suspension bcause of a blown strut...same problem

 

dealer again said they have had numerous complaints of vibration that were solved with new exhaust hangers... but what do they know????

I've actually upgraded my bushings but still ahve the sound....someone suggested that the vibrations may be coming from the exhaust hangers... anyone try replacing them??

I know right... I wish I would have found this about 3 weeks ago......

right, unless you do the final step i think it was, it works the way it was before. there is a version of the mod that makes them fully independant or with parking lights or something like that. where you can have on your brights and fogs.

 

i chose not to do that version

Finished through step 4 today along with the one click unlock hack....

 

that's all i can handle today, maybe i do the other step later.

 

i kind of like the fogs being off when i click on high beams, i get flashed for brights alot and i like the distinction of the fogs going off and the brighter light when i flash morons back.

 

 

Thank you everyone for the pictures and great instructions

excelent work. your next mission is to figure out how to use the extra wire to roll the windows down.

 

Om my 2004 pathfinder, if you hold the unlock button in with the doors shut, the front 2 windows will roll down....is this possible on a leggy?

 

 

Wouldn't all of the wiring for the windows be there...just a matter of ensuring the right "signal" or voltage or whatever, were being sent from the cut red wire that we clipped?

 

 

my issue right now is that I am under my car and I'm colorblind, so I am having an issue finding the right wires.

 

 

good thing he was so descriptive with location!

 

 

 

 

 

 

......I could just cut them all and then randomly put them back together.........

 

I'l post my results

 

lol j/k

 

 

 

 

ok so now finished. i couldn't tell the exact color of the "red" wire, only that it looked red and was in the right location. The green with yellow stripe was easy enough to find, again verified by location. Works great, me happy. My kiddo nd gf won't gripe at me anymore for getting the timing wrong and not unlocking their doors. THanks for the pictures! This really helps those of us with color issues
