Hummmm so I could be geting riped off for the bar ... Mabey over the weekend I will climb under and look .. I have a back injury for climing under is not the best thing .. Is there anything I should look for that would be noticable ..??

Just my 2 cents but if it still leaked when you tried to tighten it the exahust headers we warped... I would get new ones while you are at it ...My Pathy has the leak issue .. As soon as it is back on the road I am getting mine replaced .. http://www.car-stuff.com Has stock ones for under $50.00 a side Replacement Rear Right Exhaust Manifold 1987-1995 Nissan Pathfinder 1987-1995 Nissan Pathfinder N960704 $38.27 Replacement Left Exhaust Manifold 1990-1995 Nissan Pathfinder 1990-1995 Nissan Pathfinder N960705 $46.55

Well I ordered the 3 parts ... The Anchor/Tosion bar, and the Lower shaft ... Just to be sure I have it all.. Cost about $214.00 overnight shiping.. Just sad to see the Truck sitting there ... /cry

Just thought like most parts some aftermarket ones are better made.. But reading the previous post I have a better Ideal.... The other day I poped up on a sidewalk like I always do ( I am a Fireman so I am alway on Sidewalks for parking) Next thing I hear a pop .. the right front is droped by a few inch's .. My lovely shop says the torsion bar went . He cant find the part for a 1990 but I could, go figure. I know nothing when it comes to non-leaf spring suspension .. LOL Here is the Bad Side http://www.wolfsquad.com/Pic/broke.JPG Good Side http://www.wolfsquad.com/Pic/Good.JPG I will drive this Pathy till she fals apart

Speaking of Torsion bars ... i broke mine the otherday .. I went to Parts.com for mine.. http://www.parts.com/oemcatalog/index.cfm?...playCatalogid=0 Anyone have other links to were I can get better them stock one's .. I am working on this Pathy for Basic off roading .. I also use the Truck for in my Rural are for Fire Rescue ..

Ok Talk to Pavelow and found the Rod .... The Blend Door motor is shot...... So it was stuck in the Cold air position... Someone before me was in there and pulled to the hot air and wired it open ..... Before winter I will have a new motor installed but man the best thing I did was find this site... There is so much help here.. Keep it up and Keep on 4 Wheeling .... :coffee!:

I found that last night I sent him a PM to Find out were this part is that he manualy moved to swith it...IE: is it on the drivers side and can it be seen to get to ... Till I get time to put it in the Shop I dont mind do it manualy LOL

Ok Now the truck is on the road I forgot about the Vent issue I had ... I have a 90 SE 4wd .... The vent controls are push button and they all work... The Auto temp works... But All I get is Hot air from the vents ... I have heard everything from Blend door motor to bad control box...Anyone ever have this issue.. I have a Haynes Manual but it does not cover the 90 Dash setup to well... I dont know were to look for the Blend door motor.. And is a Chlitons Manual better then the Haynes ????

Well its back on the Road... And running great ... Total Bill $2200 .... Just need to do the break's now but that I can do myself.... I dont know of any garage who would do all the work he did for that price....Now time to work on the Add ons...

Ok an Update .... The cost was $1100 in parts $900 in labor .... This included Comlete strip down and rebuild after a compresion test. New knock sensor which was $170.00 Valves laped with 2 intake replaced New oil seals on the front New water pump Fixed header stud bolts .. Basicly replaced all of them. New Belts New thermostat and hose New Vac laines and Radiator Hose's New timeing belt tesioner and Timing Belt itself Of coarse all new Gaskets Full tune up ... New Plugs, Wires, Distrib Cap and rotor and all Fluids I had my guy check the engine vs a crate or rebuilt and the block and heads were in great shape for the millage.. Would have cost more to crate a motor. That would have been around $3000 ..... I should have it by Wendsday ..... I saw the Block when it was striped .. I was suprised by how clean it was for about 170,000 miles. The Valves were even not bad at all so we tested and laped them ..Only 2 intake were shot from the Timing pully sliping.. I must say it was worth it...Even better to have a good Garage Guy who knows his stuff...LOL

Well I have not posted in a long while but thought I would share my pathy nightmare... 2 weeks ago my truck died ... Thought that the Timeing belt just broke ...I thought wrong ... The person before me had a new belt put on but did not tighten the lower pully that conects to the crank.. This in turn slowly rocked the keyway .. Gee no wonder my Distrib was maxed out with no more adjustment .... 2 Bent Valves,severly worn keyway which my guy can fix thank god.. And he found one spark plug cross threaded which he can fix too.. Well 2k later and my truck will be back running .. all new front seals, water pump,tensioner,thermostat,new belts, and while I was at it new exaust studs .and nock sensor... Oh yeah its an Interferon Engine ......I know nothing of these engines.When I went to see it he had it done to the block.. did not relize it was all head..... The truck was worth the money to get it back up .....

I have AC ...But the Belt is off due to well It broke ........ And I played with the Dash switchs and one time it went to blown cool and then I played with it some more and went back to hot ..... I think the Switchs might be shot ....Not sure ....But I know one thing love my Path so I will get it fixed if I have to take the whole dash out ....

Ok I have noticed My Path is just blowing hot air .... I have no Temp Control .I heard the Blend door motor would be on cause ... I have a 1990 SE ..... All the Toys power everthing .... Anyone have any ideal's ????

Broken Studs are one Part ...I do have a Bad Lifter also .I already checked and confirmed that.Lifters are the easy fix . No one wants to do the studs ..The Timing Belt hummmm Dont know I will be checking that one ....

Mikemike I paid 900 plus trade my 91 Chevy Caviler .... And its my oil pump not the timing bolt .....The Oil light comes on and the Vlaves rattle ....Wish it was a simple fix ...WWAAAAA
