Thanks for the info! ~Hans

I'm in the North Phoenix area / Scottsdale area near Tatum and Thunderbird. Looking at doing some easier trails here in the next few months to get the wife up to speed, and to test out some new upgrades. Leaving one of the pathys in the midwest for a month or two short term, and trying to finish up my new engine installation in the Black Pathy. Work schedule has been insane, so my progress has been delayed on the engine. I was thinking about these trails as a starter: http://azoffroading.com/arizona-trails/wickenburg-mountains/ http://azoffroading.com/arizona-trails/new-river-canyon/ ~Hans

When in doubt, go through the ENTIRE troubleshooting procedure listed in the FSM. If you've gone through the testing of the specific valve, then make sure that you check the wiring associated with the troubleshooting procedure. I'm attaching the sections from the FSM in the event that others may have these issues as well. -
What year Mustang? Those seats look awesome. ~Hans

Worth it? Body lift cranked bars and rear lift springs
OH6PILOT replied to Texasledfarmer's topic in 90-95 WD21 Pathfinders
Planning on keeping the IFS. I was looking at the Calmini 3" kit, but in all honesty it's alot of money for the same thing that 4x4 parts sells for half the price. I do think that Calmini parts are probably a bit more robust, however... As for SAS...not a huge fan of it unless you're planning on going with 35's or larger. In regard to the body lift, I put on a 3" lift in about 3 hours under $100. I'm a big fan of the body lift, because it make working on the truck ALOT easier...increased clearance between the body and the frame as well as increased room to work on the engine and transmission. Plus...it looks better, IMHO. ~Hans -
Um..Yes. Redo it. lol.

The tensioner spring is actually quite important during the installation and tensioning portion of the timing belt. See below:

Like most vehicles, you can swap out buckets pretty easily. The trick is to be able to install the replacement seats on the pathfinder tracks. If you find a seat that you can remove the tracks and fabricate a plate or mount that will bolt onto the pathy seat tracks, you're set. Here's the breakdown of the seat track for the pathy...

Worth it? Body lift cranked bars and rear lift springs
OH6PILOT replied to Texasledfarmer's topic in 90-95 WD21 Pathfinders
I currently have a 3 inch body lift, and I'm about to install a 3" suspension lift after I'm finished with the new engine replacement. I'll post more about it soon. -

I will pretty much guarantee you have a ground issue. 90% of the electrical problems I've found with this frame have to do with ground problems. What codes are being thrown from the ECM, and do the other guages still work on the instrument panel? -
