The AC noise affects the 24v autos with the converter lock/unlock issues at low speeds and sometimes indecisive shift points.

I am here. My question is why the focus on electrical when you posted results showing low or no pressure issues in reverse and others, this is an indicator of a mechanical issue not electrical. One needs to find the mechanical issue before condemning the electrical system. I have read and reread everything and am still confused as to the timing of events. Did it drive and shift through and into all gears before the converter swap or not? Seems like that is the one single event that caused it to not shift at all. All the copy and pastes and jumping around with electrical issues seems to be consuming the discussion, just trying to get back to the simple basic chain of events first knowing it had glitchy shifts before but it did shift before the converter swap.

Well shoot!!! I have weekend call at work on Oct 4-5, but maybe able to try and get out that way the next Saturday afternoon of the 11th day before you head out. I am on night shift that week and won't drag my groggy carcass out of bed until about 9-10 Saturday morning and won't get motivated until close to noon. My day off that week is Tuesday the 7th I will see how things go that is also a possibility.

Lets back up, on a 47RE in a 24v it will not allow upshift into OD or lock the converter until the engine is up to 140*f but not sure if it is the same on a 97 12v, I think that came along as an emissions thing with the 24v but not completely certain. This all started with the converter swap and everything has been disassembled or replaced again and again since the converter swap except the converter am I reading into this right? Just eliminating possibilities here. What are the specs on the oil pressures from the FSM versus what you are getting?

Did you bleed the slave cylinder before the install? May be air in the system. Did you install a new clutch or any other parts while the tranny was out?

I wouldn't say it looks good but definitely better than the gaping holes in the rear corners and it helps keep the critters out.

On my brother in laws s10 I just filled the rust holes in the cab corners with expandable foam and shaved it down after it set up and he painted right over it...................redneck style.

Tons of info on this subject and a source for the fix here if this is your issue. http://rocksolidramtrucksteering.com/

Not only a knock but a definite dead miss right from the instant it starts.

I agree needs more troubleshooting before blaming the turbo, need more details codes ect.

Read through this area of the Nissan forum, seems to stay fairly level headed just as much good news as bad. http://www.nissanmurano.org/forums/5-your-experience/

Yep, I have pulled several trailers almost identical the main difference being tandem axle with dual wheels generally 10-12K axles versus the trailer I have with triple 7K axles the triple axle trailers pull like a dream compared to tandem duals extremely noticeable even when empty. One has to watch the short corners with triple axles as it is easy to bend spindles and axles and raise heck with the tires and rims on the front axle as they drag sideways around tight turning radiuses.

I just recently joined a Nissan Murano forum since I got a 2011 Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet convertible and it too has a dealer and or shop rating forum and experience with said shops.

I have not seen one break on its own around here, luckily we are not in a big rust belt area but it is getting worse with the new chemicals they are using on the roads in current years. The only thing I have seen rust out and break in my area was on early 2nd gens the fuel tank straps would rot out and drop the fuel tank on the road, actually saw it happen one day, following a neighbor with a 97 cummins cross some RR tracks by my house and all of a sudden there was a large puddle as the front strap broke the front of the tank dropped and ground a hole in it almost instantly. He wasn't impressed lol.... That said I have had to cut a few cables over the years from lack of use and or excessive gravel roads where the winch was locked up and would not move. I had a flat a few weeks ago and a LEO pulled up and we were talking and he said the new GM vehicles are horrible about the winches not working, he said in the last few months he has come up on many vehicles with flats where they had to call for tows due to locked up winches, he said all were newer GM vehicles. I told him about having a small cable cutter to reach up and cut the cable and he was going to look into one to carry in his cruiser.

Actually the meat we got was fresh from the butcher shop and was super tender. Funny you say that about starving because they ate up an entire Moose in a few months "Family of 8" and thats what they said, eat a full belly of moose meat and everybody would still be hungry a hour later.

The state game and fish have lowered the number of moose tags the last couple of years here in ND as well due to declining numbers but we have no wolves in our area, they are studying the cause but have no solid leads yet in the north central part of the state. I agree with the tenderness of the moose meat, friend of mine got a moose cow 2 years ago and gave us a couple pounds of "Tenderloin" steaks, I couldn't believe how tender they were and how good and non gamey they tasted wife even loved it.

Absolutely not, both are fairly common place, Moose range all across the state, we see Moose in our area a lot as they wander a lot and follow the Missouri river system, wife actually got pics of a moose just a few miles from our house earlier this year. Elk are only seen mainly out in the western 1/3 of the state. Both are a once in a lifetime tag to hunt for in state residents, most put in for many years and never get drawn for a hunting tag. I love moose meat but am not sold on the sweet taste of elk but it could grow on me, I have actually been waiting for the #'s to look better and put in for a moose tag, if one puts in for a cow tag your chances are a lot better, I know several people who put in the first time for moose and elk cows and get drawn the first time they apply but if one holds out for a bull one may never get one in a lifetime here. A coworker had his wife and daughter put in for cow elk tags one year and both got drawn the same year. A friend of my brother in law had a trail cam out on my mother in laws farm a couple years ago and got a pic of a moose about the same age and size as the one I just posted, that was about 30 miles NE of Bismarck. Up in the Grand Forks area I am surprised you didn't see any up there as that is Moose central for the state meaning there are more up there than anywhere else from the Dunseith Bottineau area of the turtle mountains to the east.

Wife and I were out pontooning on the Missouri river north of Bismarck this weekend and spotted this youngster be-bopping along the eastern shoreline wandering through folks backyards not worried about a thing. Just for reference the very spot he is standing with the moon over his head was about 3-4 feet under water during the floods of 2011 and there were several houses that used to be in that void which a couple of washed into the river that summer, the rest were sold off and moved.

Just depends on what part of the state. Up in the NE quarter they are loaded with wood. We have a lot of wood all over the state just not always top quality one can pick and choose from, some do but I am more about cutting only dead or downed trees for clean up purposes. I will burn most anything except Boxelder, stuff stinks too bad when burned and is the biggest pain in the a$$ to split too.

Or the pet food in the airbox.....................................

Must be nice to be able to pick and choose what one cuts for firewood, here on the plains we take what we can get and be happy we have something other than cow chips .

That is what I saw right off the get go as well.

There are a lot smaller and simpler ones made that simply slip into the receiver hitch if that is the way you want to go, I know a lot of sports shops sell them as a way to load game and gear into the bed, maybe check into something like that, lots smaller lighter and cheaper upfront, they just use a hand cranked cable whinch similar to a boat trailer winch.

They are doing a lot more speed traps by air on state Hi-ways here in ND, plane or helo clocks you and calls the ground troops with info. Radar detector is worthless in this case too.
