Wow, did you buy 5 wheels or just 4? I only bought 4 of the 15x7's and they only ran $300 even. That included shipping and everything. Come up to about $65 per wheel.

I have the 15x7 daytonas in black, they look great. I went with the 7" because I know I will never go up to 33's. Currently running 31's and thinking of stepping up to 32's this fall.

The bomb found in Time Square this weekend was found in the back of a Pathfinder. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/36892505/ns/us_news-security

I replaced my ball joints a few months ago. I didn't have any loc-tite, and with the Pathy tore down, no way to go get some. I figured I would get some later and fix things up then. I forgot til yesterday. http://img13.imageshack.us/i/bustedpathy1w.jpg/ http://img714.imageshack.us/i/bustedpathy2.jpg/ http://img227.imageshack.us/i/bustedpathy3.jpg/ 2 new ball joints, 1 new brake line, and 4 hours in the dark fighting mosquitos later, it was good as new. My ABS and brake light are still on though. I bled the brakes but they haven't gone off. When I unplug the wires from the master cylinder they go out but come back on when I plug it back up. Do I still have air in the lines or do I need to do something else? Oh yeah, I used loc-tite when I reassembled everything. I just realized these are the first pics of my pathy have put on NPORA. It's a shame that it was broken. I will have to get some more and get them added to member pics.

I have ran the TCU diagnostics, nothing. Precise, I appreciate the offer but I believe a friend of mine has the same book. After looking over it a bit, I think I would rather leave this task to a pro. It did get me to work and back today, and I even found 3rd gear. There is some stall between 2nd and 3rd and any less than 40mph forget it. For now I am gonna drive it like a manual, let off the gas and shift. Hopefully, I can find me some cheap POS to drive for awhile so I can get it into a shop and see what's what.

Another update, I still have overdrive. Also when I put the truck in drive I have a tranny fluid leak. When in 1st or 2nd, it doesn't leak. When in OD I can smell tranny fluid burning on the exhaust. I think tomorrow I will tear into it to find the leak. I am gonna have to anyway to replace or rebuild. If this gives anybody an idea, I am all ears (well, technically eyes). Thanks.

Well, I do have reverse, the fluid is a beautiful transparent pink, like it is fresh from the bottle, and i have a aftermarket cooler. Also as an update, I reset the comp, didn't help at all. I ran the self diagnostic check and everything checked out ok. Guess it is time to check around for someone to rebuild it for me. I would much rather do that than take my chances at the jy. Hell, I have the FSM I may check into just doing it myself, I have done a few old th350s and 400s. Might actually save some dough that way. Any DIYers out there who have done this with any success? Oh yeah, it has 163k on it and fluid was changed approx. 15k ago.

I have a tranny problem. Everything has been working fine until just awhile ago. I pull up to a red light and stop, when the light turns green my truck sounds like it is in neutral. I doubt this has anything to do with it but I had just turned on the A/C for the first time this year. I pulled the shifter down into 2nd gear, and I felt it shift into gear. I went ahead and pulled all the way down to first and pulled away from the light. I shifted into 2nd and it shifted fine. When I put it into drive, I felt it shift out but there was no 3rd. I gave it a bit more gas and could feel it pull a bit but to prevent totally burning it up I let off and took it real easy the last mile to the house. I didn't get a CE light or anything else and I am not sure if maybe something screwed up when I turned on the A/C. It did happen within just a few minutes of turning it on. Any help is greatly appreciated, I am gonna go unhook my battery to reset the comp and see if it makes any difference. I have to have my truck for work in the morning and it is the only transportation I have. I burned through all my savings being laid off last fall, so I hope this is a cheap fix, lol, yeah not likely.

Another member had a very similar problem not too long ago. I believe he found a bad rubber gasket behind the dash on a firewall seam. Try a search for passenger floorboard, it should help.

Cold air is drier and more dense, this increases the friction of air moving around your vehicle. While driving or just with the wind blowing this creates static electricity. Your Pathy has rubber tires wich insulate the metal body from the ground. When you touch your vehicle you provide the ground needed to basically create a small lightning bolt. An old friend of mine has a pace maker, the static shock kinda makes him paranoid. Every fall, he ties a short length of bare copper wire to his hitch and lets it rub the ground. He swears he has never been shocked since doing this.

Wow, 20 views and no answers. Well, I replaced my light switch, per a post on nissan4wheelers, and so far so good.

My passenger side headlight will not go off. I have absolutely no idea when this started, but I noticed it when I got off work today. It is on when the truck is running, and when it is off with the key in my hand. I have never noticed it doing this before at anytime and am really stumped as to why it has started now. Is this a daytime running light, and if so, why has it waited this long to work, and why won't it stop? All help is appreciated, as I need to get this fixed asap. I don't want to have to disconnect and reconnect my headlight as the sun rises and sets. Thanks guys.

Winter front you say? I live south of the mason dixon line so I doubt that was even an option in my area. Is there anywhere I can get one new? Do you have any pics?

Well since i got my pathy back in the fall I have noticed my temp runs rather low, like just above the C. Now that winter is here and it is getting down in the 20's at night it rarely rises above the C. I don't worry so much about the engine itself but it would be nice for the heater to blow a little hotter than what it is. I don't really want to put a peice of cardboard behind my grill because during the daytime it gets back up in the 50's and I don't want it to run too hot. Would changing the thermostat help? Or is there some other trick that you guys up north use to help with this problem?

Those oil lines are really close to the headers. Are you gonna wrap the headers?

When I bought my Pathy the tach didn't work at all. Since it is an a/t, it really didn't concern me that much. After having it a few days I took it out for a trail test, really just making sure the 4wd worked. When I shifted into 4 hi my tach immediately started working. After a few minutes I shifted into 4 lo and the tach quit again. When back in 4 hi it started working again but it would jump around occasionally. When back in 2 wd it will work for awhile then jumps around a bit then quits again. Occasionally when I start it up in the mornings it will work for a few minutes then quits. I figure there is a break in the wire somewhere. I would think it was near the transfer case shifter, but why would it even be routed anywhere near the shifter? Has anyone experienced this before and if so, where did you find the problem? Thanks.

You are sorta right, there would be a change in mileage. There would also be a loss of power, wich could also be considered negligible, but it is there. There is also an increased strain on all drivetrain components and steering. Mostly, I do not want the 31's. I could come up with a hundred reasons but want is the #1.

I know the 31's will fit but I would like my mpg to stay as close to what it is now as possible. I have the 4.6 gears and love the power they provide. The largest size tire my sticker mentions is the 235/75. I don't care about the 1" of increased ground clearance the 31's would provide. I think the 3.5" increase in width will benefit me alot more than 1" of height and only 2.5" of width. I seen someone make mention of the SSRs in the tire review, but they were asking for a review and nobody posted anything else on them. Not to mention, I think these tires will just look bad ass. They are after all, Super Swampers.

I just ordered my new 15x8 rims. They are American Racing Chambers with 3.75" BS. I have been trying to find a good mud tire with the same diameter as the 235/75's but wanted something a little wider. A 265/70 would have been perfect but I could only find it in an AT. I think I have finally found what I was looking for. A 29x11.50 r15 Super Swamper SSR. I will have a small diameter like the 235s but the wider tread will give me some good flotation. The 8" wheel is the minimum width wheel that these will fit. I will finally have a tire that will extend out to the edge of the flares. Have any of you guys used these tires? If so, tell me what you thought of them, good and bad. I am still a little up in the air. If I don't get these I will probably end up with the 29x10.50 trxxus STS's. Those are some freaky looking tires and I am not real sure how they will handle mud. Mud is usually all I drive through that requires 4wd. I do alot of offroading but mostly just dirt, not many rocks or sand. Occasionally it does rain when I am out and the dirt I drove over to get in, turns to some really nasty mud going out. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

Your auto-hub is stuck. You can try taking it apart and cleaning it with tranny fluid (do not use grease). It is probably just real dirty. A permanent fix is to replace both hubs with some manual hubs.

Well, I have been doing some major reading. I fixed my flickering dome light (adjusted hatch latch). I checked for rust on the frame above the rear tires, found none . I have found a problem though, the passenger side front bumper mount is non-existent. It appears that someone attempted to weld in a makeshift bracket but failed miserably. No worries, I will just fab up a new bumper with a grill guard, planned on it anyway. All I need to do now is get some new wheels and tires, and a new sound system. My pathy only has one speaker and no head unit, Circuit City here I come. A safari roof rack with a spare tire mount and some alt. lighting and I will be set. I will post pics of my endeavors for all to see, as soon as I replace the camera my son dropped in the river.

Hello everyone, I am new to the Pathfinder but not to Nissans. I just recently purchased a 95 Pathy. I already love this truck. I have a few questions about my new truck but I will do some searching before I ask. No need to drudge up old subject matter. I guess I am off to do some research and I will talk to many of you soon.
