Thanks!
I'm happy to be here. I bought my D21 new in '89 and have thoroughly enjoyed owning it. The quality of Nissan trucks is astounding. My D21 has reached 300k miles and I'm still on the original water pump and the original clutch. The gearbox shifts as smoothly as it did when new. Maybe even a little better, I'm running Mobil 1 75w-90 synthetic in it now.
I don't know how many times I've been urged by others to trade in my old truck and get something new but my little Nissan just suits me so well. It's the perfect combination, it's fun to drive, it feels sporty, it can haul anything that i need to carry and yet it still delivers 25 to 28 mpg day in and day out.
Now that my two-wheel drive companion has accumulated a significant amount of miles I want to start refurbishing/restoring it system by system as the daily driver it has always excelled at being. From what I've seen on this forum I know that between the knowledge base accumulated here and my factory shop manual I'm going to accomplish my goal. I look forward to getting to know the folks here and I appreciate your willingness to share what you have learned.
