Thanks again everyone. With the coolant and evap leaks fixed, overheating seems to be less of a dramatic problem. Pushing it hard on a super hot day still made the gauge want to tick up slightly, but overall it definitely feels like it can handle these uphills much better. Thanks for the tip on an easy bleeding too - that'll help as well. Turning overdrive off didn't fix the aggressive downshifting - I guess it wasn't making it all the way up to that gear. But letting the transmission do what it wants to do seems to be pretty manageable. When it downshifts, it will hit 3.5k rpm and accelerate for about 5 or 10 seconds to get the speed back up, before shifting back up again. Without having to worry about overheating, this actually feels fine and is much more fun to drive. Thanks for the help!1 point

I've checked out theirs. Not bad. Kinda close. Maybe not quite so hi of clearance. Keep the washer rez and breather box safe. Plus I dont like the round blinkers. Lol And most of all... Maaannnn!! I dont want to build my own. This ain't tinker toys. If I'm paying that type of money, I would think it should come ready to bolt up. Am I wrong? Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk1 point

I put a ram/cold air intake i put slash as it doesnt pick up direct cold air and a exhaust and picked up about 3mpg to make 17 with the over sized tires1 point

You can make it a little more efficient. Look into an exhaust. Karmann has a nice sounding mangnaflow? (I can't remember the brand) and I know the VG motors response very well to a cat back exhaust. Well have to ask him if he saw any MPG improvements from his exhaust. You can replace the O2's if they are original (just fronts, rears don't affect milage) it might help. And yeah, having drive train fluids served can marginally help too. Checking universal joints along the drive shaft can also be a worth while venture, if they are worn due to corrosion, for example, that can cause excessive strain on the engine. But by far the best mpg mod for the pathfinder is manual front hubs. You lose the option of 4WD on the move. But I've had mine for a few years with no issues. I had about a 2 mpg increase before the exhaust issues. So if I were you, I'd look into manual hubs, they definitely help. -Kyle1 point
