  1. Tried searching didn’t see a thread. If there’s one plz link it. Have had the pathy for over 10 years (12 now wow) with 220k on it it’s a 97 VG. And she’s a bit boring. I am thinking about changing stuff and want to see what everyone’s experiences are with any uni fit mufflers or what’s out there. Not scared to weld/fab up what’s needed to make somthing fit. Don’t really dont want it annoyingly loud but maybe a lil sound be nice. Do these engines sound decent ? Maybe some performance to boot? It’s all the original parts at the moment. What y’all got ?
  2. Here’s a screen shot of a data screen I had assembled on my iPhone- app is “engine link” and the device is “elm327” WiFi dongle https://www.ebay.com/itm/ELM327-OBD2-Bluetooth-WIFI-Car-Diagnostic-Tool-ELM-327-OBD-II-Scanner-/153187642003?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286
  3. Do your self a favor and get a code reader - somthing that will allow you to view all the data streams coming off the 02s. But some one correct me if I am wrong. P420 appears to be a cat code- The computer would throw this code if the data from the 02s pre/post on either bank doesn’t match what the computer thinks it should be. The first 02 should fluctuate rather rapidly from rich to lean. But the down stream o2 behind the cat should remain rather constant.
  4. I have a 97 - with 235k with no codes but a knock sensor. I have changed the cats - o2s and charcoal can and valve.
  5. Oo YES! I have had ALOT of fun with this pathy. One could say I have tried intentionally kill it. I have owned it for 10 years. Let’s just say I was 19 when I bought it. Put 60+ k miles on her. I did swap the open diff in. That’s kept me going. Did a 1600 mile road trip across a 4 state 4 day mad dash. Where I had to use 4wd to get out of a sandy riverbed in the majove! Gears no matchy she wasn’t happy! But got us out ! I’d happily pay you shipping and some reasonable price for what where these retainer clip? Things are called. My next plan was to attempt to tig weld material back on. Haven’t thought about filler material. SS - 40**- silicon bronze. Might do it to the carrier body. Haven’t thought about heat from welding in the steel causing hardening yet. Might not be a good plan. But I am cheap...
  6. So many months later. I have torn down the LSD my original differential fearing a impending failure. All bearing appear good. Races no feel able lip or gouges. It appears to be the metal holder things inside the LSD have started to get eating up over the 200k mile life it’s had. [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848] What todo. It’s coming in to holiday season and moneys tights. Snows a coming and I would like to be more confident in the truck with 4wd and matching gears.
  7. Rock auto shows control arms with ball joints for abojt $60 they are moog but they are $60
  8. Check out this page from Summit Racing https://www.summitracing.com/parts/whl-w61705a Double check make sure I linked proper ones for the pathfinder.
  9. All 8 in the rear. 2 per control arm. 2 lower arms - 2 upper arms. Front - control arms have 1 or 2- I found compete ones on rock auto for ok price. I got the “white line” branded from summit. Good bushings. Cheapies from rock auto only lasted 1 year in particular some ac Delcos they fit but must’ve been for a sway bar not tough enough.
  10. Lake mead top White rocks BLM camp western Utah. This 97 just finished off a 1676 mile road trip. Stockton CA - Winnemucca NV - Stockton UT - Lake Mead - Stockton CA.
  11. So what should I ask the seller to confirm for me ? To ensure it’s the proper LSD. The 4.3 as the 48:11 on the ring. What would the supposed “02 xterra lsd 4.6” have on the ring ? @hawairish that is a neat sounding feature on the GM truck option. Also that’s a great explanation on the lunch box lockers being more of a “un locker”
  12. Has a tad bit of rust but I don’t think it’s much to worry about being temporary....
  13. Ok so we can toss the idea of the lock right out maybe some day I’ll get a air locker. [emoji13] And so I should swap this diff out so it don’t explode on me. Then I’ll have to decide either rebuild diff I have. Depending on damage carnage inside. Or buy the one from eBay that is if the item is a 4.6 xterra LSD - and to buy it whole for the full $365 for the whole unit or just get the guts for $300. I suppose $65 might be be worth the possibility and pain of improperly setting gear backlash and such. Plus the pressing in and out of bearings of housing. I do tend to learn the hard way and slowly. Why do it right once. When you can do it wrong TWICE. [emoji12][emoji848][emoji848] Fairly confident it’s that pinion bearing on the inner side. I’d think that’s the one which takes the most load. But it could be the axel shaft side bearings.
