Not sure if this has been brought up before but it should have been. I have often wanted to notify other pathfinder owners of the forums existence. I think maybe some pre-made business cards that us members can print out and give to others would be a great way to boost the forums renown and increase membership. Who wants to volunteer to make some kick ass cards. maybe add in that even if you do not offroad it is a great place to learn about your truck and possibly fix things yourself, or at least be informed so you don't get screwed by a mechanic. I don't know just an idea ,but I have no idea how to word it to put it on a card. What do you guys think? Mark

I actually have the sales brochure from 1992. I will take a look and post up what is shows for colors. Mark

I was working on my other truck (not a nissan) and was gutting the interior. A buddy of mine gave me a link to some stuff that is like lizard skin except much cheaper like $15 a gal. Was wondering if anyone has used it and if it works. http://www.lizardskin.com/pages/videos.php

if i understand him correctly this would repair the key way so the pulley would still be removable. using a brass key and welding would alow him to weld in the shape of the grove cause the weld would not stick to the brass. so he is not welding the key into the key way just repairing the keyway. I am not sure if this repair will last as welding the crankshaft will probably create weak points in the metal and probably cause a future failure. But Hey it is worth a try.

The kit I got you had to cut the fuel filler hose in half and put the metal piece in between the 2 pieces of cut hose and clamp it with the provided clamps. Most trucks have enough room in the steering shaft to extend for the body lift. However you have to get the shaft to move a little from each side (split the difference) to be safe.

there is a difference between stuck in the sand and on top of the sand. I think he ment On Sand. Not stuck in sand. Relax. Guys.

that is not necessarily a definitive test. you could have lsd with worn out clutches. However the fact that you do not have a sticker and when you spin the wheel the other one goes opposite direction are 2 answers that point to No LSD. yes your sticker could have come off and yes your clutches could be worn out, but the chances of both I think are slim. To be safe you could put the LSD additive in, It wont hurt anything if you are open diff. in regards to your test in the desert with no resistance to either wheel , both wheels will spin, so that test is a bit flawed

look at the sticky in the garage section! Gesh!!

I will be in for a pair of uppers and a pair of lowers whenever California decides to give me my tax return. I hate living in a broke State. Hurray!! tax return is here! Bout Friggin time!!! Mark

And Takes forever. I ordered some rear sway bar disconnects and it took 3 weeks to get to me.

Ok. I am not crazy. It turns out that This problem occurred when I replaced all my signal bulbs with LEDs. I will have to experiment with pulling them out and testing that my cruise starts working properly. I have a feeling that it also has to do with my trailer wiring since it has to combine the brake lights and the turn signals into one. so I will have to test removing the diode pack for the trailer wiring. This is probably a combination of both the LED's and the Diode pack. I will have to weight whether this slight cruise control problem is worth removing the leds/removing the diode pack. I hardly use the cruise control anyways and I generally do not change lanes a lot when I am using cruise. If I have to change lanes a lot then I probably should not be using my cruise control to begin with. The fact that it took someone else to discover the problem tells me that I can live with this little issue. I am still curious as to what is making this happen so i will investigate and probably put it back and live with it. Mark

Just ran across these at my local 4wheelparts store. If the store has them in stock they are the same price there. But if you do not have a store near you you can order them online. They are on sale for 29.99 and ship free this weekend only. Get them while they last. http://www.4wheelparts.com/Wheels/Tire-Def...;t_pn=S%2fB2723

Ok then something is obviously screwy with mine. I will be sure to post up when and if I find out what is wrong. I think I would have noticed this if it had been going on for 6 years. I think it must have just started happening. Being in California I don't get a chance to use my cruise control that often. Mark

Mine is a 1991 and it is on the column with the turn signal. well if someone can confirm that has the same year that would help before I go tearing it apart to fix a problem that is not broken. Mark

WOW! glad I am not the only one who has not noticed this.. Or perhaps mine is messed up for some reason. Give a post back and let me know if yours exhibits the same behavior. Mark

Well I have had my pathfinder for about 2 years and the pathfinder before that for 4 years and I never noticed this. My friend drove my pathfinder the other night and he said he thought there was something wrong with my cruise control. When he used the turn signal the cruise control would cancel. Under further investigation if you have the turn signal on the cruise will not set. This is obviously a feature but for the life of my I don't know why. And I guess I am one of those A-holes who do not signal on the freeway otherwise I would have discovered this years ago. Anyone else know about this?

I agree when you are talking about a front locker. If you have a rear ARB Air locker you are either locked or open. I only use the front locker as recovery equipment. The rear I usually will leave locked for the duration of the wheeling trip. AS Stated many times on this forum OPEN DIFFS SUCK!!!

there is now a photo in the lsd sticky

photo of LSD sticker

here is a photo of the orange sticker. I think maybe I need to add this photo to the sticky titled Do I have LSD?

was raining so I decided not to tear one apart that day. There was a couple out there though. Oh well Next time.

I was at the local pick n pull yesterday and saw two trucks with the rear headliner speaker setup. The headliner was ripped off both trucks. I looked it over pretty carfully and it looks like the sheet meta is a bolt in peice. Not sure if it will bolt in or how hard it would be to bolt in a truck that did not have it. I would have picked one up if i had found one with a good headliner. It is on my radar next time I go to pick n pull (today if the weather cooperates) Mark

Vibration! There have been a lot of vehicles that have poorly designed headlight assemblies. The vibration is fine for a new bulb however once the filament is used for a while it gets brittle and the vibration will cause it to break. You can verify this if you look at the bad bulb and the bulb looks good except for the break in the filament. you really see this in light assemblies that are mounted in bumpers. Most bumpers vibrate like crazy at higher speeds. I have a hyundai and the fog lights mounted in the bumper rarely lasted more than a couple of months, I replaced them with a HID conversion kit and they have been running great for about 3 years now. ohh and the reason why the HID lights are not effected by vibration is cause there is not filament. it shoots a spark between two electrodes.

I am in for a pair

Damn! Will have to look at mine closely.
