same climate as yours... i switched my tranny to mobil 1 synthetic, and the diffs to amsoil synthetic.... my hard shifts disappeared... now that could be because of the change, or synthetic, i'm not sure.

when the guy in the International with 53' trailer passes you laughing at your 10mpg

OK I gotta ditch my bose, the cd doesnt work, and these fm modulators are no good, the stock bose is just too low volume! I have the stereo like this: All I need is the harness adapter, antenna adapter and the face plate to get me from double to single din?? I've read bose radio swap posts here for an hour and still dont know!

Could be. Like I say, it worked fine all the way home, problem was 3 days after. Problem persists even with trailer unplugged... which leads me to believe the trailer is not "currently" the problem, but not to say it didnt cause the problem. Other oddity is, I added dielectric grease to the connector... maybe I added too much and it shorted?? which then what is the point of dielectric grease i guess!

OK, heres the question. I have the T type connectors for my trailer wiring harness (4wire flat). Theres a t connecter on each side of the brake/signal/park lights, and the converter box is on the left side. Bought a used boat/trailer on Friday, and brought it home through the heaviest rain storm I've ever seen, for 2 hours, lights worked great whole time. Now Today I go to take the boat to get the inspection done on it, brake lights are not working, and on top of that, when I hit the brakes, the left signal indicator is DIMLY lit (and actually comes on dimly, as seen in the paint reflection in the vehicle in front of me is how i noticed it). Brake fuse popped twice. Now, when the fuse goes, the signals, park lights both work fine, its just on the brake is where the problem seems to be happening. So I unhooked the left side T connector, problem gone. Reconnected left, disconnected right, problem gone.(the left side in the main side, which i think disconnected the module anyway, so that explains the left i believe.) Is it common for these T connectors to go bad... but better question... what caused it to go bad, and why so delayed until days later, and hours of driving later? Is it a short in the trailer, or did this module going bad just happen to coincide with me getting a new trailer hooked on?

they call them a 35mm lift, as opposed to the AC 50mm lift. its noticable... theres a truck here identical to mine with the AC, same tires and you notice the difference. I went ironman to lessen the cv problems, and really because they were as cheap as buying after market stock height springs for my pathfinder. i have a thread here before and after with them on mine an measurement.

bigger question might be what is your back space on your wheels

did you replace both sensors, or just the one? I'm not getting any codes...

I am still debating on doing mine just to get some MPG. 10MPG is not very good. I have tried E10 87 octane, but generally run 91 premium E0, I really find no difference with either. two questions, how the heck do I get at these upstream sensors, and what sensors did you replace with??? part numbers would be cool too!

I call it a wagon! a mighty nice wagon! I wonder what a pontiac G8 wagon would have looked like?!

Any tips on replacing these? My arms are only 2 and a half feet long, and I have one elbow... I've kindda been ignoring them, hoping the pathy just gets bad MPG... hahaa.. No really,what kind of sensor is best to replace them with, and how do you get em.

haha, good answer, me too. I got em because they were about half as much as ac or OME, and my back ones were shot, so all four of these were about the same as two rears! I like to call myself cheap... sounds better than broke..

I do like the looks of the dodge magnum wagon. theres one around here with about 20" tires on it, SRT with the hemi, all blacked out, and exhaust, sounds awesome, and looks like it works pretty good. I am not going to be buying one any time soon, but its a pretty cool family wagon... more cool than my wifes honda accord ;P

didn't think there was too many other people out there with the ironman lift, how did you decide on that? It seems I have got more than the OME, and less than the AC with my ironman 35mm lift.

I was fueling up tonight, and a new subaru forester, first thing i thought was, oh that looks like the new Pathfinder... about half as tall as mine, and twice as girly!

Off topic, not overtime Few comments, some pathfinder related, and some not... What is nissan thinking with the new pathfinder? Well, I always wondered why they had the xterra and the pathfinder. Now they seem to have the xterra, and moved the pathfinder over to sit somewhere with the murano, rogue.. .but wait, why do they have the juke in there too? 4 vehicles that seem real similar with one body on frame on the otherside that people can really play with seems a little uneven! Funny thing is, most of the rigs we have here were likely bought as a mall crawler, then hit the used market and started getting used for more than that.. Seems to be a weird path nissan is heading down... kindda like why the heck did Ford have an Explorer that moved away from its ranger roots, Sportrac, Ranger... seems they could have kept the explorer with the same platform as the ranger, and just brought the 4-door model they sold in mexico to north america.. so what is the replacement for the pathfinder... are you guys going down the xterra road next, or is your next step the r51 pathfinder... OK, another question, howcome there is no updates on the Nissan Titan with the cummins 2.8L diesel in it??? I see 5 or so websites and blogs on it, but no new news... is this project still moving forward or what?

I searched around a bit for bosch filters, haven't found them yet. I can definatly get the napa gold... do you guys buy them online or what? I always thought WIX made a good filter though! Anyway, I'm gonna be a little more careful on er, that knock worried me a bit, but man this engine still runs real nice... i am not in love with my pathfinder, but every time I get in it I can't get over how tight, and well built nissans are after driving domestic trucks at work. I have a Honda car same year, and I would say the nissan is as good or better than the honda fit and finish wise and maintenance wise. Nothing like any domestic i've had thats 10 years old.

Cut em.. my rear end was lowered 2" from saggy springs! We cut the springs on my neighbors corvette and lowered it about 2". (and took a couple leafs out of the rear)

I am interested in this, not interested in the placement of them, or changing them, if they're not bad! How can you check them? I am at least 2mpg to 6mpg lower than reports i'm hearing here (in summer time -- I do realize my winter mpg will be way lower). No CEL here.

yes, thats right. oddly enough, same filter as my wifes 04 accord!

Ok, I am going to check that, I have read the detailed post and pictures on it. Don't get me wrong, I am not getting down on this engine at all... i can see it carrying me well to 250-300,000kms

I am sorry, did two back to back oil changes, 520 is in the honda... i put 530 as specified... I use WIX filters... they have always been black, but the latest one i got was white, not sure why?

Now, oil changes are something i am pretty faithful with, and common to these pathfinder vq35's, after about 5000k on my oil change it starts to take a bit.. i run mobil 1 synthetic, and push it to 10,000kms... i was a bit over my 10k as I had my wifes car in the garage waiting for a new caliper... and i was a about 10500... the engine developed a slight knocking sound... so i checked the oil thinking the worst, and it was slightly above the low mark... say 1/5 up from low before the high mark. i topped the oil right up, and it seemed to still do it a bit at cold start, then stop... i quit driving it basically so i finally got the wifes car out and got the truck in for an oil change, and immediatly the knock went away even on cold starts, and has not even hinted at making this knock ever since, ever at our recent stretch of -20 deg C... do these pathfinders like fresh oil? not like synethic? did i push the change too far? friend of mine (mechanic) said it was possible it got a bit low oil pressure, and retarded timing... (no eng or oil light ever came on -- and yes it works at key on) any explanation on this??? or experience on the same thing? Guess I got a little scared in to either switching to 5000km changes, or switching back to dino oil... i have also been running 91 octane with no ethanol. i did put mobil 1 synthetic 520 back in.

I towed a 4200lb travel trailer (brakes did not work on it either), to my surprise braking was a joke, and it pulled pretty easy. large hills were slow... like 90KPH.
