  1. It needs to be mounted as high as possible on the passenger's side center of the vehicle for best reception. It will also work decently in other places, but it needs to be solidly grounded to the body of the vehicle to work right.
  2. A buddy of mine used to have a triple-horn train setup...it would blow loud enough on 100 PSI to hurt your ears BAD...I think they're set up for more like two or three times that, though. Train horns are LOUD on a train...
  3. By the way, your Pathfinder has shocks all around, no struts.
  4. There is a bleeder screw at the top of the drum setup on the back. It's right next to the input line. Some trucks didn't have the proportioning valve. Mine doesn't. It should be located up on the frame above the axle and have the brake lines going in and out of it for the rear axle.
  5. That's only true if they aren't maintained. The stock tranny cooler tends to clog up and kill the tranny after a while, so installing an aftermarket cooler is a very good idea. Mine has 140,000 miles and is still going strong.
  6. Go look for yourself for the specs... http://www.gorancho.com
  7. I have no idea, but it's most likely the brakes. I couldn't even hazard another guess without more information.
  8. Or get one of these.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=6511979116
  9. Of course it does. The whole front end of the engine is removed, basically.
  10. 'Bout 3.6 - 5.1 foot-pounds(as per my service manual). That's hand tight, plus a half turn or so more. Don't crank down the tranny pan bolts more than that cause the gasket'll leak inbetween the bolts.
  11. Have you had your tires balanced recently? Check that...
  12. Time to trim those fenders, before your tires do it for you.
  13. And what, pray tell, would you run air horns with that require 100 PSI air to make noise?
  14. A proper alignment will fix caster, camber and toe measurements.
  15. Matt, please only post in one place at a time. The forum's not so big that people won't see it in the General forum.
  16. I should have added, cranking up the torsion bars about an inch would have probably eliminated the rubbing without taking off the flares.
  17. Crank up the torsion bars about an inch. That'll help a lot.
  18. Go buy a replacement Fiamm horn from an auto parts store (about $8) and add it to the Pathy. Get the "Low Note" horn, not the "High Note" horn. I added one to my Pathy and installed a relay to provide the power for all three at the same time, works great.
  19. "Man Picks Tubular Kryptonite Lock With Bic Pen" http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,64987,00.html *snicker*
  20. Considering the stock sub for an Exploder is a 6"....not really.
  21. "Couple hundred dollars" HAHAHAHHAHA More like times three...most shops won't even touch a Pathfinder. It sucks.
  22. MOOG parts are made by the "Three-Five Company" in Japan, same company that makes a lot of other generic and off-brand parts like TRW. Overall, I've never seen any tie rods that are better or worse than the stock units, except for price. They're pretty much all the same and have the exact same design. Only difference is that some come with grease zerks, which allows you to make a nice greasy mess out of your steering knuckle and centerlink after they get greased. Basically, new tie rods are new tie rods. If the MOOG ones come with some sort of warranty, then feel free to get those. Me, I'm just going to run with the Ebay bargain brand and not worry about it. Shoot, 4 for $57 shipped is unbeatable by ANY auto parts store or dealership.
  23. Yep, that's how these things shift. It takes some getting used to. The tranny oil cooler is integrated into the bottom of the radiator.
  24. That's why I'm going to use a subwoofer amp out of a junkyard Ford Exploder for mine.
  25. One of these days I'll get around to building another How-To page for that.
