    Pathfinder AC cooling Tip

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    Posted

    Going by the trans temp gauge I installed years ago on mine, my trans runs cold most of the time. Yesterday I did manage to get it up to 200°f briefly, but ambiant air temp was 85+ and I was slow driving up a poorly maintained dirt road up a mountain. Normally my temp doesn't usually go over 185°f according to the gauge. Winter time with the temps near freezing, it takes a lot to get the trans over 150°f, and that causes the converter clutch to not lock up on the highway. My trans is running it's own dedicated cooler since the original cooler killed it about 17 years ago. 

    Where did you tap into install trans temp gauge

    Our outdoor adventure to Cherokee National Forest Tellico Plains, Tn. Went to Bald River Falls, Holy Flats Campground and fish Hatchery. It’s a 6 mile gravel drive that’s curvy and straight up. Put the old gal in 4 Hi. She never missed a beat. #onespiritbrain She finally got a little dirt on her Lol #R50obsessed

    Good lord that thing looks good. You should take that somewhere scenic and enter the pic in the TOTM.

    I appreciate it brother. I had a guy last week offer 2K in cash. I think I can get a little more than that. I’ve worked my ass off on this thingI couldn’t get rid of it. If I came across a good deal on a Q 45 I will trade it I’ve actually been looking at the Q 45 really want one I’ll keep the QX4 trade the Pathfinder if I can find the right person.

    Painting bumpers,mirrors,fender flares and morea.

    Just got done removing the fender flares, brush guard, and tire carrier so I can practice painting the stuff I'll leave on the car (side trim stripes, mirrors, pillars, etc). I have no idea what I am doing but this makes me feel more confident... it's not going to be a waste of time! Wish me luck, and cheers!
    Good luck buddy. If using tape the green 3m 401+ works best in my opinion. The better tape job will totally reflect the paint so take your time and you should be ok brother. d81c2b6cda00c5cd667487a9a2834ab6.jpg

    Timing Recommendations

    Sears Craftsman timing light is a great one. Of course since Sears is no more all Craftsman tools are made over seas so quality in my book is way below standard. I've had this one for almost 10 years and never had any problems.42acc33f8de081ebd95a6fa1104c2a4d.jpg

    Spark Plug #6

    Common sense tells you where it's at. In line with the other 2. I've never had any problems with the #6 luck I guess. More problems trying to get the wire off than getting the plug out.

    Finally heard back from the service writer after leaving him 20 messages it seemed like. He was really nice and very concerned he seemed to think that maybe he can get my seatbelts ordered without me having to come back in just for him to tell me they have to order them. He knows what color I need I'm just waiting on him to let me know so the wait continues.

    1997 Pathfinder Timing Belt Replacement 3.3L

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    I purchased a timing belt and water pump kit from NAPA. The serpentine belt and tensioner appear to be in good condition. Are there any other parts I will want to replace while I'm in there? Any special tools needed?
    Cam, crank seals, thermostat and coolant bypass hose. Probably need a puller to get your crank pulley off.

    That's BS. In my book it should work 10 outta 10 times. They just didnt want to do it because there not making any money per you the customer. I'm still waiting on the service writer to contact me. I left him a message last week. I'd call Nissan North America and see what they say. You have to stay on them trust me. I had both fronts replaced on my QX4 without any trouble at all.

    I tried going the route of calling Nissan North America to get them to rearchive my VIN. As many of you know most if not all R50s are not in the system. Every time I've had Nissan put my VIN back in the system the service writer at the dealership cannot pull my VIN up on his computer they cannot make me an appointment to get the seat belts flxed. So I called Nissan North America and Toad them the problem I was having and the lady told me if the service writer can't look up your van and find it in the system to give her a call back and she will call the service writer. The service writer was a fellow by the name of Todd I don't know his last name didn't catch it he was really nice he told me that he was going to be calling Nissan North America to get to the bottom of it and that I shouldn't have anything to worry about. That was 8:30am this morning EST. I recall the service writer saying something about Nissan warranties seat belts up to a million miles I've never heard of that. I had my QX4 seat belts replaced back in December of 2018 with no problem Infiniti/ Nissan LOL
