How to tell

[BamaDiver]

I am looking to buy a 1997 Nissan HB 4x4 regular cab from a local seller. 156,000 miles on it. 4x4 seems to work fine. Its a carb 2.4 engine. How dependable are these engines? what engine came with the 1997? i thought it was all fuel injected. any problems out of carburetor engine? its been so long since i owned one. Gas mileage? This is my first nissan. ANY info to help me out would be appreciated.

thank you

You sure that is carb motor? my 91 is injected

Not a carb, but sequential injection using 52mm downdraft throttle body with integrated MAF sensor. Kind of looks like a carbuetor at a glance.

the only engine available in 97 is the KA24E, the engine is underpower but very reliable, easy 300k engine

I bought the truck. it has a 3" body lift and 31-10.50-15 tires. i plan to remove the body lift and buy new tires. what size do yo suggest? love the truck

I'd say that 31x10.5s are spot on for a 4wd D21 at stock ride height. When I bought my truck (4x4 stock ride height) it had them and I could turn lock to lock with no rubbing, any larger and I think they would have, though.
