Yeah I am lucky, but a lot of the people at the college I go to have suv's I will NEVER bike anywhere in the city, I don't trust people. I'd rather get hit in my truck than on a bike. Yeah, I haven't had any problems with my truck that have prevented me from driving it. And in the winter it's great cause I can take all the DEEP snow covered side streets to school instead of sitting in mass traffic on the queensway and woodroffe ave. I wouldn't say I have the money, as my parents pay the insurance...cause if it was in my name it'd be over 6 grand a year! I pay for the gas and the mods/upgrades. Parents are paying for the repairs and parts if needed but I have to pay them back when school is done and I have a real job.

Isn't there any warranty on the truck issac?

Yup, our little trucks are just the right size, bigger than a rav4 or crv but smaller than a suburban and much better on gas. Also I can deak in and out of downtown ottawa traffic very well in my truck. It's even more fun cause I'm 18 and in college. Best college vehicle EVER. For ski trips and stuff. If I do have to get a smaller car eventually, I will still keep my two pathfinders though, as I can't stand driving little cars, I have to be above people lol.

Here I thought I'd share this with you guys, you'll get a 5% discount. 11575761006859

No he doesn't, and we live in Canada lol. And to all the people who say pathies are big polluters, you should see my emission test results..... I don't feel bad about driving it all the time.

Those houses are cool

Just in case, have you checked your drive belts? There were a couple threads on here, including one from me, with videos showing the ticking, I thought for sure my lifters were shot, but then on the way to college the next day the a/c belt shredded it self to pieces and the noise stopped. 2 days later I changed all 3. It's so quiet now. here is my thread with the video. http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=17651&hl= It subsequently got worse (like you could hear it IN the truck with the windows closed ) and then the belt failed.

If you're a tree hugger why do you drive a pathfinder? If you were a true tree hugger, like my uncle, you would take the bus everywhere and bash everyone who drives an suv lol. You'll notice your gas mileage will go up a bit.

Mine does it too. I figured it was doing it to spin the fan a lil faster to cool it down.

If your in Canada which means you'll have the drl module, that is probably your problem. It happened to me and I had to get a new one from the stealership.

Try looking for the red-tek 12a stuff. Simon and I have both used it in our trucks, it cools the same if not colder than r12. We haven't had any issues so far....

First of all, you don't need to remove the cam pulleys. That is only if you're replacing the cam seals. When you get the belt on there should be 40 teeth (on the belt) between the 2 white lines. All 3 pulleys, or cogs if you will have to move all at the same time or else the timing will go out and you might damage the engine! I also see that you used the sealer on the wp. Good job Some more experienced members will obviously be able to help you better than me but you have my # to txt if you need to ask something quick

Well they call for 5w30. But I switched mine to synthetic at 125k and it is now just hit 150k and it's running great. I'm running mobil 1 5w50 supersyn. If you have any minor oil leaks now, I wouldn't switch. But fix the leaks!

I wanna get my hands on a 95 cluster with the digital odo and trips and external temp (you pull on the clock thing to see it)

Thats what I was implying. There is no point on spending money on it until its other "modifications" are complete.

Then again there are the people who never replace any of those parts and go forever on the original equipment. For example my 93 has 337,000kms on it timing belt was never changed. I'm in no hurry to do it lol. There was a member here in Ottawa who had like 700k on his 91 he said he's never changed any of that stuff. I didn't chance it, my luck isn't that good

I'm no fatty, I had never done it before, but it was no big deal to take the tires off, good opportunity to check the brakes and rotate the tires.

When I did them on my dads 2000, I jacked up the rear and put 2 jack stands on the rear axle. Then just installed the shocks and presto.

I think it is 14 quarts for a good flush, I read that around here somewhere. I made sure they guys who flushed mine did that. So even the wd21 is just a screen?

I think GG is right because afaik the bumpers from 87-92 are the same, then they put the more rounded bumpers from 93-95. I was working on an 88 that had been sitting for 3 years, and noticed the mounts were different. Damn those bolts were rusty.

I still remember what you said to me one day on messy slick... Too tight= Snap, Too Loose= Fly off

Well, my dad has a 2000 pathfinder, with 115k on it and no problems, before that he had a 93 that we got 220k out of it before he gave it to me, it still runs fine. And now I have a 95 with 150k that runs mint and is in prime condition. Must have got a lemon, I know a few people around here with the 3.5L and no problems

These truck's aren't junk it's clearly obvious you just didn't maintain it. Better than any of the similar American models.

Well on the 95, the 1-2 shifts are really rough unless you've been driving for an hour or so.

Yup Easy there, although my father is one of those people and so is his wife. The napa gold lasted me 15k on mobil 1 5w50 synthetic. The oil came out nearly as clear as when it went in.....
