I don’t mind, scenic needed the help. Although if he starts his own thread I’d like to fallow along. As for my truck, it now has new tires, new battery, a fresh oil change, and topped off the transmission fluid. It runs just fine. I plan on redoing all the brakes and new plugs/wires cap and rotor and she will be on the road.
other way around, buddy boy. I own two Datsuns, they both say Nissan on the valve cover. That nameplate only ever existed for about a decade. Datsun has not been a thing at all since 1983. For a few years ('79-'83) they carried badging that said "Datsun by Nissan" right on the trunk. America was the only country they were ever called Datsun, Nissan was always the manufacturer. When Nissan toyed with the idea of selling their cars here here but unsure if they would be a success or a flop, being Japanese and all they were afraid that a failure would shame their company, so they picked a random name "Datsun" to call their cars so worst case scenario people wouldn't hate Nissan, and could take their anger out on the made up name. Once they gained some respect in the market here (thanks mostly to the Z cars) they slowly phased in their real name without fear of rejection. Don't get me wrong, modern Nissans are junk, but you got it backwards- when they were still called Datsun they were GREAT vehicles. They were good until about 10-15 years ago, but have sharply gone downhill in recent years (like most other cars, some are just worse than others)
