Exactly!! So, what does yours run at?? My gauge still isn't installed. I just have to wire it inside the cabin but I seem to have misplaced the illumination bulb. I only want to do this once so hopefully I'll be able to find it today after work... B

Better price than from Alkorahil?? B

Welcome lizzie!! My solution to -23 degrees is to move... I'm supprised you can't find anything on them, they are a fairly common item. Here is what wanderer was refering to. http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=24714 http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=24803 B

Hey GG, out of curiosity, what temp does your tranny run at?? B

Simon mentioned pulling the fuse on his, so yes, it must have a dedicated fuse. B

Not necessarily. It may have come from the factory with 31" tires and the speedo be spot on, like my old 95XE. Not to mention, taller tires will make the speedo read slow, not fast and I doubt he is going 88mph @2800rpm. My guess is that he speedo reads high (for what ever reason) and he probably has the 4.3 gears. My old 95XE ran at 70+*2900rpm with 31" tires and 4.6 gears... B

Sorry, but I haven't done this work myself so I'll refrain from input. I'm pretty sure this was discussed to some degree recently. Perhaps you can search it up? B

I'm glad it was that simple. B

Even minor surgerys take their toll so I glad to hear that you are getting back on your feet. I'm looking forward to the next adventures of JB and Mr Jim... B

Hopefully that is just sludge build up and can be dealt with by flushing the motor, not a head gasket leaking!! B

Welcome comsonat!! Your english is fine, far better than some US born citizens also. I agree, that is why many of us relocate the filter. I am glad I did!! B

It just so happens I recently finished installing a filter. It's not magnetic but should trap all particulate matter. http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=24503 B

Yes, I'm not touching th stock tranny 'filter' (which is just a pick up with a screen in it IIRC), I'm pretty sure it has to be installed for proper tranny functioning. Thanks, Like I said though, I'll probably replumb it in spring. I still plan to install a 3 gauge cluster (volt meter, oil pressure and something else) but I haven't figured out where to put it yet. Probably on the roof if I can squeeze the CB under the radio... I'd like to see an exhaust temp gauge mounted though, that would be pure silliness!! B

Yes, at least the maxima alternator as they are 90 amps and cheaper than the stock pathy alternator IIRC. Try to make sense of that... B

Sorry, but I can not condone, much less assist with the purchase of a 2 door... Upgrade cloth seating?? Electronic Radio?? No Sheit!! Quad tire package?? It comes with 4 tires?? One of a kind?? Really?? B

Do what the Germans did with their tanks in Russia, build a fire under the pathy... I have never had to deal with a heater, but know people who did and they claimed the coolant heater was the way to go. B

LOL Ok, now that I am done laughing... You have two options. Splice, the wires back together or get a section of the wiring harness from someone parting out a truck so you have more to work with. The short wires, can you simply solder and tape them up instead of stripping and crimping a connector on? B

I have found that tapping the seal slightly deeper into the housing using a suitable drift (plastic or aluminum) breaks it free and then you can just fish it out. I used an O-ring hooked pick which destroys the old seal, just be careful not to gouge the metal. Cut an old plastic container to make a tube, put the seal on one end and the other over the crank lip and simply slide the seal down the tube and on the journal. Lube it first, of course. I tapped the seal in using the same drift. Just make it flush, not deeper. It really is pretty simple. B

There is a list (or two) pinned at the top of the Garage and/or General sections that detail aftermarket sources. That said, what kind of off road activities do you plan to do?? I'm moving this to the 90-95 section BTW... B

Ok, got ya, and you are welcome, of course. That's the whole point!! Here's to an (relatively) inexpensive repair... B

That's just wrong!! B

Nice!! I'm thinking this should be pinned? Is this R50 or DRL module specific? Do WD21 and R50 have the same ones? B

Yes, actually, this may be very good news. Hopefully that is your clutch line hanging down. If the line ruptured or even the slave cylinder failed, the tranny probably doesn't need to be removed. I'd take a better look, or are you going to let the shop handle it? I see you are in Ohio, perhaps this is just rust damage? B

So, I was able to take some time the last few days and cob this together. The mounting bracket is a piece of 4" aluminum angle and the extension is 6" piece of aluminum bar. I mounted off the 2 M8x1.25 nuts welded to the frame that are usually used for a steering stabilizer. This was about the only place I could think of to put it where it was tucked out of the way but still right by the tranny fluid lines. The stock skid plate will still fit with plenty of room to spare and will shield all but the rear 1/4-1/2 of the filter. The picture shows no depth perception, but the lines are about 4" lower than the fan, so no issue there. Quite frankly, the mount is pretty much a hack job that I made out of a few scraps and the plumbing is a little creative as I didn't have the time or desire to rebend the hard lines to the cooler again. This is a mock up for me to test for a while. If I decide to keep it (where it is also), I'll probably reuse the current mount (after I clean it up) but will replumb the lines, probably just using the rubber hose the whole way (the sidewall of this hose is .150" thick!). Tomorrow I need to run a few wires and install the lower dash section and it will be complete. I'll update with more info then. FYI: The fluid output line is on the passenger side of the tranny (in a LHD truck of course), maybe that will save someone some trouble in the future. B
