So no one responded, well, I guess that's my new name, "No one."

Check your ground, with the link to U1000 attached? You have a CAN problem according to that code.

idk about your problem but your truck looks awesome. this is coming from a guy who doesnt like dropped trucks.

Read the link, there is a TSB for the U1000:

" Ive read the related TSB and it states that connector F9 could be not sealed properly against the elements."

As far as electrical problems go, unless you have the equipment and know how and even then, it's tough sometimes to track down.

There is also a TSB for the 0447.

Go to nissanhelp, join up and download the TSB's.

I can't recall of anyone reporting frying the coil packs. If we have had any, they are very few and far between making it a very uncommon problem.

Maybe a Nissan Tech will see this thread and pitch in for you.

Good luck.

just because i try to be different in what i like to do you dont have to put my truck down everything i touch has to be modified its just what i do just cuz its on airbags doesnt mean thats necessarily the problem
I wasn't putting your personal truck down. Lowered trucks in general are enough to get me laughing hysterically! They look like poor people-mobiles owned by someone who can't afford new shocks to me....regardless of what it cost to actually bastardize a truck like that. Raised trucks ok, but lowered? Funny stuff. Even Civics that can scrape the ground and hide half the wheels in the wheelwells make me wanna stop and smack the kid driving it. But.....then again, maybe it's just me.
I do like the paint job, and it does look like a lot of work went into it though.

You just put down his truck.

That aside, I can't offer any advice. I'm not good with the electrical side of things.

I agree with that - not huge on dropped trucks but that is one SICK looking Titan! How much to slam something like that to the frame rails I wonder...

I'm not sure of the codes at all, but if they are saying grounds, look for externals first, then start looking actual connectors, even though they appear sealed, it still gets water in and corrodes, 5 years as an electrician on the prowler, it's amazing how that one little problem kicks our a**es for quite some time. Just be patient, pull connectors apart, use some connector cleaner, examine it for anything inside it, and then add a slight bit of di-electric grease to help keep water out. That's the best I can say. By the way, truck looks pretty nice! Inside pretty custom too?

His first mistake was that he should've never posted pics of that slammed Titan. It's like a beautiful girl that asks you a serious question... "uh what duh huh?" :)

you are one ignorant ****. it costs just as much, if not more than lifting, to get a lowering job or in this guys case an airbag job, done correctly. If these trucks are done the right way they will ride better than stock even when lowered. all the trucks i have had bagged always rode better. please just dont sound like a dumbass and call them poor people trucks b/c you simply dont like that style. :fu: :flame: :bang:

Further name calling in any of your posts will earn you a time out.

You have received your official warning. Take note and post with care.

Melted together? What was?....How do you know that didn't cause other issues that are just now surfacing?
You could have had wires grounding out and melting the insulation somewhere else other then right at the heated spot...Also when wires get hot enough to melt the insulation, it's not un-common to have a lot of corrosion which can really play heck with sensors and grounds...

I hate lower/slammed trucks, and the Titan is such a testosterone rich truck in the engine/trans department that it makes it a worse candidate for slamming!
But it is YOUR truck....The guys are right, awesome blue color!
