True about the 15s and the calipers. But I've also read in other threads where guys hit the caliper with a grinder and shave them a little to fit them.

MY 03 SE just turned 168,000 yesterday. Still a CHAMP!

Changed mine on my 03 Pathy at 146,000...they needed it...well rounded tips on the old plugs.

1/4 tank or so at least....he's been Nissan certified for 20 years....I'll take his advice. Running it dry every now and then won't hurt them...but constantly running them to the point of being dry will take it's toll on them. I work in a chemical plant with submersible pumps...they like liquid around them too or they'll eventually burn up

I try not to let mine get that low...the fuel pump is in the tank and it depends on the gasoline around it to keep it cool...my brother-in-law is a Nissan mechanic and he told that.

Thank you gentlemen...I found a blower/motor assembly online that was very reasonably priced...I'll get some filters, too!

Hi all....quick question...my blower motor is making noise and I believe it's about to go...still moves air but very noisy. How hard is it to replace (where is it? easy access?) and where is the best place to get one. I think I can do it myself...

I have that problem as well. I installed a set of Airlift airbags inside my springs and that did the trick. Even with your new springs I would put a set on just to offset the tongue weight of your boat....

Mine broke in that joint on Christmas Eve last year...went to local muffler shop and they make a piece to weld right back in there. Cost me 45 bucks and 20 minutes....

Yeah...what they said! Details please!!!

My 03 Pathy SE has 136,000 miles on her.....she's a pit bull! No issues with mine...I tow 2 ATVs regularly...I use Mobil 1 oil and I live in West Virginia where they salt the road when it frosts! I don't run a lift but I do run bigger tires...

No...I haven't tried that yet but I will before I start shelling out big bucks for internal engine work. That's a good idea there....thanks!

My '03 Pathy has 131,000 miles on it...started towing ATV's with it recently and was wanting to install some type of performance cam. Wondering what I should install??? Any suggestions?? Only towing around 3000 lbs. if that much, so i'm well below the 5000lb tow limit...

I just switched back down to 87octane and didn't notice a change in my mileage. I get 16 mpg in my 03 with either grade. The fuel door and manual say that premium fuel is "recommended for maximum performance". I had no knock or hesitation when I made the change, although I did run about 4 tanks of mid-grade to kind of step it down. I've got 129,000 miles on it and I'm getting ready to change the plugs, flush the transmission, and changed the rear diff. oil. Everything else has been done as far as tune-up is concerned. Runs fine on the 87 octo.....

Bearings changed (good quality NAPA bearings)....noise gone. One race had a pit in it and the bearings hadn't been packed very well, kinda dry really.... All's well now!!!

Yeah...never again!!

Took it to my bro-in-law...mechanic for a living...def. the bearings. Tires are wearing very nicely...no cupping at all. I bought the bearings from Advance last year and had dealership mechanic buddy put them in...won't buy there again. Already purchased new ones from NAPA and we'll put them in on Saturday. I bought Equalizer Sport AP tires last March and have 20,000 miles on them....very impressed with traction and wear. I'll buy these again. Price is right too at 125 bucks/tire!

Tires are fine...no alignment problems. Just aligned in November and new tires last summer. That was first thing I had checked. My mechanic bro-in-law thinks it may be bearings....

Thanks...I'll do that. The noise will stop....correct?? Also...how hard are they to replace. Are they pressed in?

Hi all....Happy New Year. I've developed a humming noise in the front end of my Pathy. Sounds like the noise from an aggressive mud tire but I just run some mild tread ATs. It does it of course while I'm driving and it gets louder the faster I go, just like a tire noise but I really don't think it's that. Could it be a spindle problem?? I have 126,000 miles on it. Newer bearings and brakes so I don't think it's that. Thanks, Mike

I thought of that after I posted....oh well........have a Happy Thanksgiving anyway, eh..

To all my American and Canadian friends and Pathfinder enthusiasts.........Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!!!

Will do. I've only pulled with it 4 times. I'll have the airlifts on it before the next tow.

I pull about 3000lbs with my 03 SE (trailer and two large 4 wheelers) and have no problems other than a little sag on the springs, but forthcoming airlift bags will solve that. It pulls really well and doesn't strain even here in hilly West Virginia. Just keep your maintenance up on it and don't overdo it and you'll be fine.
