I do not have a repair manual and I don't see any screws to take the lens off.
Thanks a bunch.
I have an 1987 Nissan Hardbody Truck (2WD, Z24 Engine) as a second vehicle I keep around for projects and such and use my car (a Nissan Altima 3.5 V6) for work.
So here's my question... is there a way to ADD power-steering to the truck?
It's not a big deal for me to drive the truck (have always been able to handle the truck not having power-steering over the years), but my girlfriend has a VERY hard time driving it... turning the wheels while the truck is at a stand-still (manuvering in and out of the store parking lots, for example) and I was hoping there was a way to add power-steering to it to make it easier on her when she needs to use it.
Anyone know if this is possible? And if so, could you advise what would be involved in doing this... even what something like this might cost?
Thanks in advance!!!
Wondering if I need new ignition and is there something else it could be??
Please any help thankyou.
I just went throught the same sanario and it turned out to be a faulty relay......
Good Luck!

A few questions for my fellow Nissan Truck afficianados
I Changed the transfer case a couple of years ago. At that time I made sure the reverse sensor switch on the tranny was in working order but my Backup lights just won't work - or they'll work for a microsecond when I put it in reverse, then go out. What to do??? I thought the little piston on the sensor wasn't long enough but I compared it to replacement switches and they're the same. Any advice???
Next - I'm getting ready to replace the timing belt - how do I know when my motor is on Top Dead Center??? Any ideas about immobilizing the cam and drive shafts before I remove the old belt???
Also, I heard that removing the lower drive shaft pully is part of the job and that it's a real [non-permissible content removed] to remove - any truth to this?
Lastly, my steering seems kinda loose sometime - especially when I'm on asphalt highway with ruts and when I jack it up it's easy to move the front wheels right to left. Is it loose? Remember the age of this thing. Or is it suppose to be a little loose so there's less wear and tear when your 4-wheeling?
Thanks

Thanx in advance,

Maybe you have frozen water in the fuel line - when it warms up above freezing for a couple of days - add some "Heet" and try it - "Heet" is nothing but pure methanol which "chases" the water - actually makes it soluble in the gas. If it starts, burn up the whole tank of gas and [non-permissible content removed] fresh gas with another can of heet
So I replaced the timing chain on this 1995 Nissan KA24E engine, and made sure it was aligned before I put the cover back on. But it won't start. Turns over just fine. Compression is good and first stroke it's 120, but pumps up to 170-180 PSI on all cylinders. All plugs are firing white spark, and I did have to replace the fuel in the tank, as it soured. Fuel pressure is good at 50 psi. Even with a tooth off, I still should get some sounds of fire, right? So could it be that the injectors need cleaning, since the fuel was old, and turned bad? Or could it be that the MASS Airflow Sensor, or the camshaft position sensor is bad? Or even the ECM is bad. It may be that the injectors are not in time with the spark, which would make sense, as it's gettting plenty of fire, and just sounds like it is not getting any fuel. But I even tried a can of starting fluid to get it to 'pop' and run, so I can finish setting the timing correctly. Can the engine be started in the default or self-diagonsis mode on the ECM? This is the same problem it had before I replaced the timing chain. Over the summer, it started because I moved the distributor slightly. But it had no power, which made me believe the main trouble was a stretched timing chain. As I found out during replacement of the timing chain, parts of the plastic guide were in the oil pan. So it needed to be replaced anyway. But it still won't start up and run. Any ideas out there?

Probably spent 2 grand before I figured it out.
Good luck!!
I had a mechanic in Nebraska fiz my ehause manifold leak - pretty common with this truck. I paid him about $250 and now with 300 K miles on it - still no leak.

Sounds to me like it needs another bleeding but tell me more specific details about how it brakes
thanks
And has someone encountered and been able to solve the problem or at least minimize the shaking/vibration? I'd appreciate any info or suggestions.
Thanks.
You'll need a fastener kit, the fog lights, buckets and a new stalk with the fog light switch. Try Courtesy Parts
Cost will probably run you $300 to $350. Be very clear which year you have because Nissan changed up the 2ndGen wiring over the years.
You might find technical information here that will help your case.

So my question is, is this normal with this truck or does the transmission need to be adjusted. it reminds me of driving a standard transmission vehicle when it does this. My wife has never drove a manual transmission before and I would hate for her to let the truck roll back into a vehicle stopped to close to the back of her.
Any help or previous experience with installing an oil pressure gauge would be very appreciated! Thank you!!
This is normal and it depends on the grade of the hill. One should never use the transmission to hold the truck on a hill. It also varies from make to make depending on the idle setting and gearing whether a vehicle will hold on a hill or not via the transmission.
Do you know anything about changing the timing belt on a V6?
