That's a lot to unpack :crackup:

No, Dizzy is safe. Getting a new high pressure fuel pump this Sunday. 

 

23-mile OCI. Oil it was shipped with from Thailand was Idemitsu 0W20. It was four months on this dealer's lot old and who knows how long before that. Many hours for 23 miles. Lots of idle time. Burned a quarter tank in 23 miles. Yea, the trip home was 75 miles minimum. Solid lifter OHC motor needs more than Kool-Aid in it for a moderately aggressive break in. Sounded like a diesel on the first start during the walk around. So 5W30 and a good dose of ZDDP (Red Line Additive). I didn't give them an option. 

 

It holds 3 liters with filter. 3 quarts without. Filter holds roughly 5 ounces.

Thank you. MPG in order, 23, 44.91, 52.73 and 63.34 mpg. Still break her in. Next tank is a Mulligan. Bouncing around town getting work done on it. Alignment today after making the front adjustable with some camber bolts. It was WAY out. PPF next week and rust proof shortly thereafter. Tint and ceramic paint sealer after that. Perhaps an oil accumulator and CVT cooler. I tend to hang on to them awhile ya know. 🫣

Hardest thing to get used to is this CVT coupled with 50's Beetle type power. :crackup:CVT's do NOT like to be hurried. Noisy little things when pushed but I do like the concept. Huge speed range with little rpm shift.

It’s a JATCO correct? If so use Mitsubishi type III? Is that what’s called for? I want to keep you in warranty and get that thing working for a long time and low wear. 
The Nissan N3 may be same fluid and we attempted to reformulate it with no success. It was that good.

I have no idea what fluid it uses. My understanding is it is a Jatco JF015E The two speed.

I know I have used AMSOIL's CVT fluid in a few Nissan's with no issues.  AMSOIL's CVT fluid is listed for this application.  Grumpy, you can do a look up for it here.

Note Amsoil is going to BIO in many of its formulations and I am taking note. 

This laboratory SUCKS for expense and speed of turnaround when they used to be same day so I am dropping them.

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.
