Can someone identify this part
muddfildvaynes replied to jayjay6888's topic in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
It can be done, I changed my post set up from top post to side mount post so I could hook my winch up to the top mounts on my yellow top battery. Just buy the new post and transfer the wires over... not that hard. -
If you guys want to help me with TOTM that would be helpful

Front bumpers: OEM or not to OEM?
muddfildvaynes replied to XPLORx4's topic in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
I built my own, I just used the stock tow loops as a point of contact and welded the bumper to them, and then I used a plate on the back and cut holes for the stock bumper mounts. So there are 14 points of contact where the bumper bolts up. I think I spent about $400 to build that bumper in parts which included the steel, bolts, grinder wheels, and welding wire. It just takes some imagination is all. There are many different routes you can go, a bunch of people have done it, and this is where I originallly got my insperation: -

turning but will not fire up
muddfildvaynes replied to jayjay6888's topic in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
I'm telling you, its the distributor...... replace it and when you time it advance it about a degree or two and it gives you a little more pep.... or it could be a vacuum leak, I remember when I once tried to put a cold air intake on before I put my snorkel on I disconnected the vacuum lines and hooked them up to the new intake and it ran like dogsh*# but when I put them back together stock it was fine. Look for a crack or hole in your lines off the air box. But most likely its the distributor.... It's not that hard to change, just keep your wires hooked up to the old cap until you get it in and swap them over. -
I have the 2" AC springs topped with a 4" SFD and I have never messed with my camber bolts, in fact the stock ones are still in there. I just got a alignment and it was good to go, and I wheel the Sh*# out of my pathy. Honestly the only thing you need from AC is the 2" front springs and new struts; then buy the 4" SFD and install it. After I bought the 2" I had to go bigger, and after I went bigger the only leftovers from my original AC 2" lift are the front springs and struts.

Combine the 2, do a 4" SFD with 2" lift springs :-)

Alarm won't shut off/lost remote
muddfildvaynes replied to muddfildvaynes's topic in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
The remote start has a different remote than factory, my factory remote doesn't even work anymore. I don't have a key for the doors, I lost it in the woods a year or so back. I get in and can turn the engine over.... but it won't start because I am having starting issues I think are from the distributor cap. But still it turns over and then when I let off the alarm is still going. Lights flashing/horn honking. I pulled the relay under the hood labeled alarm and it still was going off..... It's not even in kill mode because the engine turns over with the key. This all happened after I had to break into it.... -
Light clunk/rattle in the front end going over bumps
muddfildvaynes replied to Patty's topic in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
Sounds like a strut problem to me, or even a sway bar end link. Easy fix.... -
Alarm won't shut off/lost remote
muddfildvaynes replied to muddfildvaynes's topic in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
I used a wedge and a long puller bar to unlock it and opened it withthe handle, then the alarm went off and would not stop going off. I put the key in and turned it forward/tried to start it and it still is going off. I had to unhook the battery and left it un hooked for a day and hokoed it back up and it was still going off. When this happened last time if I hit unlock on the remote it would of turned it off. I don't know how I will even be able to program another remote if it keeps doing this. -
Ok, so I have been having problems with my engine starting and I lost the remote to my alarm/remote start I have on my pathfinder. I accidently locked the doors and had to break in and the alarm went off, I tried turning the key forward to start it but the alarm just keeps going off and my lights are flashing. I don't know how to turn this off, and if I get the new remote I have to program it with the ignition.... Any ideas? This is the facotry alarm, I just put a remote start in and it uses that control.

Engine won't start again....
muddfildvaynes replied to muddfildvaynes's topic in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
no odor.... The engine just spins and it might fire up for a second or two. -
So after my last weekend of playing in the mud, my engine has decided to not start, the starter turns over and it doesn't even act like it wants to start; and it might kick over but it shakes when running and if I give it gas it dies.... I am thinking maybe I got it wet under the distributor cap? Last time it had this problem I thought it was the fuel pump, put a new one in and it wasn't the problem, then I put a new distributor in in and it was fixed.... Could the distributor go out in it again? I am hoping its not a timing problem... Any ideas?

It won't hurt anything, the water will get thrown out with cranking the engine, worry more about getting it into your intake....
