  1. Fuses are easily checked by pulling them out and inspecting the small metal wire to burns or breaks. If there are, it means there was a short circuit and the fuse popped to prevent damage. Be sure to pull one at a time and not get them mixed up.
  2. FSM- factory service manual You might try and relearn the throttle sensor. It's easily done by sitting in the drivers seat with the doors closed. Keep your feet off the pedals and cycle the key to the on position(do not start) and leave it for 10 seconds. The turn the key off for 10 seconds. Repeat this 20 times then start and let idle for 10 minutes to get to operating temp. Then try and drive it to see if it helped.
  3. Starter bound up? Give it a tap with something hard while someone tries to start it.
  4. Every Nissan dealer has a master kit. See if they can match it up and purchase a replacement or have them removed. I loath wheel locks.
  5. And the follow up..... http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/topic/40215-memorial-weekend-wheelin/?do=findComment&comment=754655
  6. Well, not today, but yesterday we went and played!!!! I did loose my maxima swapped alternator right after that shot, but the parts house warrantied it and I swapped it out after leaving the trail.
  7. Just like the title says, its kinda last minute. But there is a high probablity I will be going out to Tahuya on Sunday. Ive got a few family members who wanna to wheel their Xterras and the Land Rover. So, if you are interested, we should be headed that way near 9-10 am. I will swing by Safeway like normal. IF you see me and Big Homie, flag us down. Otherwise, I will have the CB on channel 4 and work our way the even channels if there is too much traffic. See ya guys! Have good holiday weekend!
  8. Maybe we can have a meetup some day. Sounds like I may be down there twice a year according to my wife. I will keep you informed!
  9. Im like B, I have no Facebook. You linked one the other day that was public. Do that again. Or, its time to use Photobucket!
  10. Hey, thats ok. We were all new once. And as with most forums, the search function isnt exactly all that great. Plus it better than screaming "use the search function"! Nobody likes that. Glad I was able to help!
  11. Yes, you need a picture hosting site like Photobucket. There are many to chose from. I use PHotobucket and it works fine for me. To post the pic, you need to use the IMG code that will be supplied. Just copy and paste it in your post. If you go to the Pictures and Videos section, there are four pinned topics on how to post pics and videos if you would like more information. Good Luck and we do like pics around here! http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/forum/27-pictures-and-videos/
  12. Yep we did. Found a older couple in a nice house and gated community, that had a room to rent. She's not locked into a long term contact either. Thanks anyway!
  13. Not necessarily, Ive seen it done and they guy used all the accessories from the 3.3 motor. Also, some had the crank pulley from the 3.0 machined to fit onto the 3.3 crank. Im sure someone else will ring in at some point with a little more information.
  14. Oh, a Idler arm brace is also recommended. You can make one or buy one from several places including 4x4parts.com http://www.4x4parts.com/i-18981134-pathfinder-steering-enhancement-package.html Thats for a brace and stabilizer http://www.4x4parts.com/i-18981130-pathfinder-idler-arm-brace.html Thats for just the brace
  15. It sounds like you have a worn centerlink. It's a very common failure. Feel free to use the search function to find more threads on center link failures. There are several ways of dealing with this issue. These are in no specific order. 1. Factory center link from Nissan or other parts manufacturer(ie: Moog). This is the easiest way to go if you don't wheel and don't want to improve much on the overall system. I personally went through 2 factory center links rather quickly going off road. Its just not the greatest design for off road use. 2. GrassRoots4x4 Centerlink http://www.grassroots4x4.com/index.php? I installed one of these and its been great. Tightened up my steering and reduced bumpsteer and understeer. Not much more money than a factory center link, but does require drilling out the idler and pitman arms to accept the bolts that hold it together. I also installed new Moog Problem solver inner and outer tie rod ends which are slightly larger than stock. 3. Calmini Steering System https://www.calmini.com/detail.php?b=1&m=3&t=10&p=622&n= I have driven several rigs with this setup and its not too bad. The system is quiet spendy, but it replaces everything and its rebuildable with parts from Calmini. 4. 2 Wheel drive steeing conversion I have not driven or worked on a rig with this setup. It involves complete removal of the 4wd steering system and you install a complete 2wd system. A few others have tried it and maybe they will ring in for difficulty and cost. Again, try the search function to search for more threads about this. Hope this answers some of your question! Here is a link to my build page about the steering. See post #29. http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/topic/17128-5523pathfinders-1995-pathfinder/page-2
  16. If your new to the forum, there is no dumb question! We can only expand by embracing those who don't know!

      I used to think there were no dumb questions, but working in IT, that is simply not true.

  17. Not that I know of. There have been some Jeep Cherokee(and Grand) console swaps as well at R50 center console swaps. Anything is possible if you wanna get creative!
  18. Changed the oil. Greased all my bushings again. Changed out my front driveshaft grease zerk as it wouldn't let grease through. Lubed my door hinges and window glass run rubbers with silicone spray and wd-40. Cleaned the air flow meter with some spray. Old boy is doing just fine!
  19. Hey Jim, how about Packies old rig... http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/topic/39633-packie88-pathfinder/
  20. If they are rated at 80psi, the have got to be a E-rated tire. E rated tires on a pathfinder are going to give it a very stiff ride. Do not run your tires at max pressure unless you are loaded down. Go with the pressure on th left front door jamb. I run BFG M/T KO2s and yeah there is some vibration, but not bad. But I also ain't doing 95! Double check your wheels for any mud or debris caked on them. It would also be a good time to inspect you haven't lost wheel weights. Now, there may be one other issue, and that is the amount of road force in the tires. Did you balance the tires or take it somewhere?
  21. What kind of tires? Have you checked your driveshaft u-joints? I have replaced several front u-joints in the rear driveshaft.
  22. They also don't change the oil as often, or at all, like we do here. Inspect it well. I think you should rebuild the stock motor and spend the money on this... https://ruggedrocksoffroad.com/nissan-pathfinder-solid-axle-swap-kit-sas-by-rugged-rocks-1988-1995-p-57971.html?osCsid=p85u8rd328c5e9gnc38sr3utl1
