OR99.5Speed

The one with the interior shot with the Mom and her child? Notice how it switches to a '90's Explorer tan cloth interior for an interior photo? I'd be pissed if I had an R50 still, with Allstate or whomever making people think that a Pathfinder has the interior of an Exploder!

In 1998 all U.S. vehicles got a smaller airbag, so go 1998+ if your truck is a 1998+. The 2001 QX4 had a wood wheel but the old-style airbag cover. They changed in 2002.

Don't want to start a K&N debate, but I'd switch to an OE paper filter.

I'm sure there's a cruise control cable that you didn't rehook. Sounds obvious, but check for tight connections.

QX4 never had rear discs.

Hmmm... Well, first I would ask a Volvo forum, such as www.volvo-forums.com and www.volvoforums.com, www.swedespeed.com, www.ipd.com, and that's off the top of my head. There's a few others. It may just be a bad battery. Low batterys are known to do some funky stuff.

What I didn't like about your truck were your old chrome wheels, they looked like hell. Now you just went from gross chrome wheels to the most beautiful and functional wheels you can put on the Pathfinder. BIG thumbs up! EDIT: The tires won't look bad at all...Just like any other 265 or whatever. A few Xterras have those wheels with the factory General Crapper 265/70-16s.

Ewww...don't. Unless you're going to blacken the already black plastic, like a high-gloss. I'd think it would be okay if it were perfect. My idiot friend painted some plastics in his 2001 GMC Sierra Z71 and now they are peeling and wearing off. Plus it looks like @!*% and he really regrets it.

Welcome AvusBlur! You know me!

I've talked to several people who've had them and they all hated 'em. Garbage. Navy on these boards had one and hated it. I'd go for something else. Also, pay attention to pure market value...don't put too much faith into KBB except for loan purposes.

They aren't bald...just pretty low tread. I understand that it grips less when it wears, but they've been on for a few years and I've put 20k miles on them myself. They are National XT Commando tires made by Yokohama and are well-regarded. I should say that it will oversteer before it understeers. I honestly can't think of a time when the front end has pushed... The problem will lessen substantially with new tires but still won't go away...I promise that new shocks/springs will alleviate the problem. I don't drive much anymore so I don't really care about it...

Wrong. So you're saying that if my @!*% suspension hits a big midcorner bump sending the tail flying out, it would be the tires fault, not the fact that the shocks/springs are too worn out to exhibit any control? You're smarter than that.

Part of it! Never said it wasn't. A lot of it is probably the worn suspension... I'm over it, now just want to see if I'm selling it or keeping for another three years.

I know it...I won't hijack the thread though...my city MPG sucks. A lot of it is that it's all city driving, nothing over 45 MPH and tons of stop signs.

I do row my own! I couldn't handle having a slushbox with a VG. I guess it's just simple dynamics, but a bit worse than it should be. No big deal, I've lived with it and it's easy to correct as long as you don't instinctively let off the gas and let it spin into oncoming traffic.
