We are on the West Coast of Canada so rust is relatively scarce here; at least on the vehicle I've owned. When does Nissan call for the timing belt to be replaced? Also about the exhaust manifold recall, until when is it good for? What tests should I do to check the operation of the 4WD system? How are these trucks in the snow? Do they come with a LSD in the rear? Finally, the truck I'm looking at has the adjustable suspension ie. "sport" and "comfort" settings. How does this sytem work exactly and what things would tell me that the shocks need replacement?

New to the board here. I'm looking at getting a WD21 Pathfinder. I'm wondering what things I should be looking for when considering one of these trucks. I've found a 1995 Pathfinder in SE trim, fully loaded with leather, heated seats, sunroof etc. It has just over 200k km or 130k miles. The engine was replaced at 100k under a recall campaign by Nissan. Anyone know about this recall and where I can find more details? When should I be changing the timing belt and water pump? This truck is a 5 speed. What kind of mileage will I get with it? The tachometer is the only thing is broken. It seems to skip around and come to a complete stop at random times. What are possible culprits and what am I looking at to getting it fixed? Thanks for any advice and I'm looking forward to coming to the boards.
