Oh? What's the alarm do? I'm tempted to wire in a kill switch to the battery via a relay... have it cut the ground out at the battery terminal. No ground, no current flow

High / Low Beam issue - How to troubleshoot ?
Kittamaru replied to prginocx's topic in 90-95 WD21 Pathfinders
Nice write up Kwiki... but it left me more confused than anything XD I'll have to open up my truck and take a look - my big issue is I know nothing about my wiring harness... not even where these wires originate XD -
If you are at the upper bumpstop you ain't gonna go any further I don't believe... I had to turn mine 5 splines on the drivers side, 4 on the passenger... but they were sagging like an old womans tits! As in, I was riding on the lower stops more often than not! Now, I'm a LITTLE high and it mucked my camber a slight bit... nothing my mate at the garage wasn't able to fix in like, ten minutes once he had her in the shop Freebie alignment FTW!

Uhm...don't all pathy's have the "ghetto" LSD? As in, if you loose grip, lightly apply the breaks and all four wheels will start to spin again?

Ultrafinder - You just... poured the seafoam directly into the fuel filter? Didn't that make it run real hard... I mean, SeaFoam won't run an engine on it's own will it? Tell me a little more about what you did - I'd love to run SeaFoam thru my truck, just not really sure how to do it (I'm using a LucasOil fuel treatment, but I think SeaFoam might work a bit better in such a concentrated fashion)

Aighty, I have a small switch that I believe is an alarm - it has a small red light above it and three selections: Alarm Off Impact off Alarm On Only thing is, it's not even MENTIONED in the '90 owners manual I have... or in the 93 manual I have either (from a junk'ed pathy my mechanic had on his lot for a while) I'm curious - is it possible it's a third party addition? Also - any advice on how I'd use it? I'm in a bit of a bind - I just moved in with my Fiance, and my mother is on a damned warpath - she's threatening to try to take MY pathfinder back, even though she SOLD IT to me and the title is in MY NAME exclusively! I have the paperwork to prove it. SO I'm parking it beside my fiance's house, fully on her property (read, in the grass) with the intent that, should my mother attempt to steal the vehicle back, we'll simply call the cops (yes, things in my house have gotten THAT fskced up) I'd LOVE to be able to use the alarm too... since I know she doesn't even know it's on the vehicle. Any advice / ideas?

Awesome to know GrimGreg! Thankfully the truck is purring fine after my last bobble - I managed to fskc up AGAIN this time though. I undid the drain plug, drained the oil, and after it finished, spent an HOUR AND A HALF fighting the damn oil filter! Finally got it off (I don't own a band wrench and the filter I had had no socket on the end of it... the new one I got has a 1 inch bolt on the end so I can use a 1 inch socket if I can't get it off) and changed it... started to refil the tank and heard a dripping sound. Yup, I forgot to put the damn bolt back in! I put the bolt in, re-added the Lucas Oil conditioner, and put what was left of the 4 qt container I bought (about 2 quarts) in... I came out with just the VERY tip of the dipstick covered. Quick trip to Adv. Auto, bought a quart, threw it in... I couldn't have gotten the level more perfect if I actually tried XD *shrugs* meh, dumb mistake that turned out good I guess
-
Why... the fskc would you DO THAT!
-
Actually, 10% ethanol makes my girl run like @!*%... well, not really, but I get a LOT less kick out of the old gal... There are a handful of stations around me (PA) that sell 5% or non-ethanolated fuel... when I use those, I get better mileage, more power, better accelration, better throttle response... generally, I think Ethanol is fskcing up my truck
-
Problem mzxtreme - can't you "raise" the level so high that the cranckshaft froths it up?
-
Aighty - anything I should check for considering the... overfill... I put in last time? My dipstick wasn't showing overly high *shrugs*
-
No codes at all? Uhm... that's strange. Blocked cat might be a thing to check... what about the fuel pump or injectors? They could be going south on you?
-
I have seen everything from 3 5/8 quarts to 5 3/4 quarts! I'm seriously afraid to change my oil now... lol. I asked before but, for the life of me, I can't find the post. This is driving me nuts... I figured a '93 would have the same capacity as a '90, so I attempted to use a '93 manual, but it says 3 5/8's quarts... but last time I did it, I put in 4 5/8's quarts... so yeah. I'm confuzzled...

Any recommendations on a kit to buy Pickles? I'd LOVE to do this myself! Single or Dual filter better for our trucks?

Any chance you'd be willing to do a quick write up for those of us wanting, but scared, to do this as well? -
What the hello... how didn't your floor fall out from under your feet?

Kittamaru replied to prginocx's topic in 90-95 WD21 Pathfinders
kiwipete, do you have a decent guide on how to do that? I read the one on the site and, to be honest, I'm iffy about doing it... I'm not electrically inept just... I don't want to fskc up my truck XD -
Strange, never even had my floor get warm to the touch on my old '90
-
Try Advance Auto.. I love my local Advance. Guys aren't that knowledgable with Pathfinders, but they're willing to help me try to logically think things thru, even if it takes upwards of an hour (they've done it!)
-
Like I said - most people already hate us here in the US - lets just make that hatred JUSTIFIED as the rest of the world destroys itself. Big fskcing wall, big guns, and when we have the technology, electromagnetic shielding... *grins* And yes, I AM joking... but sometimes I wish we really could.
-
Satuatory Ape, if it were really that simple... My solution - tell OPEC either they give us the oil at the price we set, or we bomb their refineries back to the Stone Age and let the rest of the world deal with having no oil. Why not? The world ALREADY hates America for no good reason (despite the fact that we saved WW1 and 2 in large part w/ the help of our mates in England, that we have won nearly every major conflict we've been in with reason (I'm Excluding 'Nam and Korea cause we had no right to be there) and the fact that we are the ONLY ones with Heavy Lift capacity to put the International Space Station together)... so yeah, let the world hate us. We'll pull ALL our funding towards "external social projects"... wtihin 5 years, half the world will starve to death, the other quarter will blow itself up, and the rest will be begging the US and Briton for help!

So wait, this won't work on a '90 pathy due to it being Fuel Injected?
-
Also, YAY NO MORE WINTER MIX FUEL... ugh that stuff sucked ASS this year!
-
It carries a full size spare... whatever stock tire size is XD

mz, i didn't find anything on the forums with the search And GrimGreg, I don't know I know absolutely nothing about LPG... I'm assuming Liquid Propane Gas?
