the oil cooler is a pretty simple install... The instructions that come with it is pretty general and is about all you need.. I mounted my cool to the rear of the AC condenser. You're going to have to remove your radiator to access the location as well as route the cooler lines. Hopefully you bought the biggest size cooler if you plan on bypassing your stock cooling unit.

The spacer 88 is referring to is the thrust block. They're only found in the open diff rear ends. When I swapped to disks, I didn't even bother removing the thrust block out. Others have done the same and have had no problems about it. Others say you need to remove it but I have yet to hear of a problem with keeping them in.

Nice nice All I got are my fists of fury

When was the last time you checked your power steering fluid? it sounds like it's low if it's moaning and groaning. Where at your front diff is this fluid? Have you checked your coolant level? I'd say clean the fluid off, let it dry, let the truck run and see where the fluid is coming from. edit: MZ beat me

No such thing as electronic LSD... you'll need the brake master cylinder from your 92 and put it on your 93. I hear supposively there's a difference in ABS actuator between the disk brakes and drum brakes but I don't know for sure. I didn't even bother switching them over. I just kept the one from my drum brakes. My suggestion is to keep the open diff and throw in a locker, but the LSD may suit your needs.

Does anyone know how to remove the input shaft? I have the auto tranny out of the truck but I can't seem to figure what's holding it back from coming loose? Anyone happen to have a FSM handy or some expertise to share with me?

give me a bowl of pho, and i'll think about upgrading your skill level, youngin.

What I did was get a wrench that'd fit on the shaft end and beat on the wrench with a big hammer. worked for me. took a while but it worked.

That's a good paint job on the Pathy! EFFIN bright and stand out!

I had the same problem with mine as well when I did mine.

The steering shaft has a slip joint in case of an accident. if you look in the middle of the shaft, you'll see a rubber to prevent crap coming in the splines. Over time, the shaft will kinda rust up. I had to soak mine in PB blaster for a while and knock it loose. I removed the shaft completely out to do it. Make sure you mark the shaft so it goes back in the same way it was before. The shaft is held on by 12mm bolts on both ends, IIRC. As for the front bumper brackets, I had to cut a notch on the front brackets so it won't interfere with the groove and point straight up. Like GrimGreg said, you coujld tack some welds so it'd stay sturdier. Also, you could fabricate your own one piece bracket. Go to my Cardomain page and look on page 4. You'll see the bumper brackets I talk about.

talk about ginormous@

Greg, that's basically what SLR has... It's basically the diff mounts have a offset center that is lower. As for any further amount of diff dropping, then you'd be looking into a trailmaster suspension kit.

I'd go with the 4" trailmaster. That's a true suspension lift. Also you keep the same steering geometry as stock unlike the UCA lifts sold. You should make a storage box out of your front bumper since it has a big enough cavity to do it

Well, she fired up today on the first try without a problem. I guess the plugs were wet from water and letting it sit for a while let them dry up? Oh well. She drives! I just need to readjust the alignment on the quest alternator

maybe rear hatch lock sensor is loose. check the hood switch as well as door switches.

Shelly didn't burn up. My parts Pathfinder did. Anyhow, I've been driving her back and forth with very low gas in it and now she's not firing up.

I replaced my power steering pulley because it was bent and tightened up the tension on the alternator belt. Went to start her up, but she wouldn't fire. Look at the gas gauge and it's sitting on empty. I go to gas station and pump 4 gallons of gas and put it in the pathfinder at home. She wouldn't fire still. You think that it's not starting is because of water inside my gas tank from sitting too long?

ah, don't feel bad. At least you still have a transmission! I gotta find me another one or fix the current one.

tach is dead. common problem in Pathfinders. I just live with it. Been having the same problem with mine since I've owned it.

Get the old cast iron ones, they're stronger

I'll prolly start removing the front drivetrain so I can better access the stuff. It's hard to see as it is with all the crap that got melted and what not.

bump for some help

damn... looks like the disk is toast... it's like 65 bucks for a new one.

crap, my keyboard is black! .... anyways, just pick some up at your local rice shop or AZ or chuckers or O'reilly's. They're the universals. JP used a civic one on his HB.
