1988 Nissan D21 Pickup Standard E review from North America
"Unlike most vehicles today, this 1988 Nissan truck has been a terrific value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Idler pulley (I tightened it too much).
Water pump began leaking at 150,000 miles.
Heater core began leaking at 160,000 miles.
Faint rattling from front end at 100,000 miles.
Factory radio replaced under warranty after one year then replaced with aftermarket unit at two years.
Original clutch almost completely worn out at 178,000 miles.
General comments?
This truck is my baby. I love it! It isn't fast, it isn't big, it doesn't have the appeal of an F250 with a Power Stroke diesel, but I love it anyway. It hauls lots of stuff, it gets me to work and back, and it looks decent enough to go cruising in. And the original paint still looks great!
