    trying to decide which 4x4

    in General Forums

    Posted · Edited by boothill2008

    Matt,

     

    I think your choice to hit up the people on this board is a wise one. I think a Pathfinder would be an ideal choice for a few reasons:

    1. Cost - You can pick up a pretty clean 1994 or 95 Pathfinder pretty cheap compared to say a Toyota or other

    4X4.

    2. Capability - My stock 92 SE V6 surprises me every time I take it out, I have gone places that

    challenge more expensive lifted 4X4's.

    3. Room - the 4 door Pathfinder can easily carry 4 adults and gear, 5 if you're willing to get cozy.

    I recommend that you get a WD21 Pathfinder from 1988 to 1995, that has the ladder frame before unibody. The common problems are posted in that specific forum. Read the posts, they are invaluable.

     

    Take care, and good luck!!

    90-95 Pathy's Offroading

    Well, I gotta tell ya....I currently have a 92 SE 4X4 that I was slowly fixin' up for my oldest to drive starting next year, and originally had plans to buy a new Jeep. Lately, I have been getting a crazy idea of picking up a clean 94 SE 4X4 and spending some dollars on some mods and on the engine.....they kind of grow on ya when you realize all they can do!

    Low Gear Pathy

    Hello all. I recently bought a 1995 XE 4X4 with a 5 speed. This is the 1st Pathy I have ever owned and so far I love it. However, the truck is geared very low. Im talking about being in 4th gear by the time I'm at 35MPH. I know the truck is in 2H. The truck runs great for 190,000 miles, but damn, its like driving a Mack Truck. Any advice would be much appreciated.

     

    I have an auto, but she runs and runs....I was doin' better than a Jeep with better tires and a slight lift in the snow 3 weeks ago!!! :itsallgood:

    They definitely grow on ya! I have 265/75 15 size tires on mine, but most people put 31's on their stock Pathys. I put mine up for sale once, and when someone wanted to buy it, I told him I couldn't part with it. Take care and have fun!!

    VG 30 warm up

    when i start my pathy in the morning and let it warm up about 5 min then take off, man trans. it acts as if it doesn't have any power till it almost gets to operating temp fully.is this normal? my dodge truck when you start it, and you can take off right after a cold start without hardly letting it warm up.

     

    I agree, on the older engine you need to warm it up before you take off, there is a part, I can't remember the name, that my mech. pointed out that helps with that but it is not worth the expense to replace. Mine does fine after a warm up. Good Luck!!

    Okay, last time it was a clutch safety switch that wasn't being actuated enough that prevented my 1991 Pathfinder from starting.

    This time I have no idea what's going on.

    Tried to jump start it to no avail.

    Battery is good and holding a charge.

    Ran fine and started fine last night but tried to start her up today and starter won't even turn over.

    Any idea's?

    TIA!

     

    It sounds silly, but have you checked the cable connections at the post, a few things might have happened:

     

    1. The cable connections have worked loose.

    2. Corrosion has prevented a good connection, even though the battery is showing a full charge.

    3. One of your cables has suffered damage, one time I had a sports car and a cable that was not in plain view was cut and connecting once and a

    making the problem difficult to diagnose.

    Good luck!!

    Ignition won't turn with key

    I agree, the biggest 2 things that happen are either that it is not fully in park, or that the key has worn and can no longer effectively work the locking mechanism. I had a similar occurance and I resorted to having another key made from the key code. Once that key was made to the original factory code, the lock worked like a champ.

     

    Take care,

    Electric Door Locks

    in 90-95 WD21 Pathfinders

    Thanks to everyone here! The forum has helped me greatly with fixes! I have a 1992 SE 4X4 that used to have an alarm that also controlled the door locks. The locks worked fine from the switch untill 2000 (8 years), and then the switch stopped working intermittently, and then stopped altogether. Occasionally they lock/unlock on their own if I push 1 down or pull up manually. Does this sound like a problem with the switch? Or is there some other part that I should be looking at?

     

    Thanks again,
