  1. Welcome! Hope you find all that you are looking for.
  2. There was a TSB on this that involved cleaning and a little teflon tape (I think). The cleaning of the guides has been addressed in the forums here before. Try a good search in the 90 days and older realm on seatbelt to see if you can pick it up. Good luck.
  3. I concur. You could also doa little disassembly to get at the hose near the hatch and check to see if the nozzle is blocked by blowing it out. Good luck with it.
  4. Greetings from the other side of the country.

    Bummer!

    Welcome to the NPORA (and thanks for allowing for my counter bump)
  6. mine dissolved so I just cut away the connectors and made a new link. Works fine. http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=2440

    Two problems

    get someone to bounce yor front end while you have your head under the fender. You may be able to figure out the 'grinding'. As for belts, inspect them to see if the v-belt is shiney on the sides that hit the pulleys. If they are, or if they're cracked, replace them. If the belts look fine, it may be a pulley going bad.
  8. someone just HAD to go there, didn't they? :D
  9. time to break out the torch!
  10. digital pics during removal will also help identify the location of stuff during installation.
  11. got my 2 3"x30' straps. Though I never received an email from the shop, they arrived on Friday. Hmmm... When I called on THursday, they said they were on backorder. I wonder if another set'll show up
  12. A little tricky to get out and in but not too bad.
  13. Not sure of your actual question but there should be a switch on the console to turn the alarm system on/off. Remotes are easy to come by (watch ebay) and simple to program. Even without one, you can open the vehicle with the key and just listen to the alarm for a couple moments while you get the key into the ignition and turn it.
  14. what part of PA are you from?
  15. I've had my impact wrench at max with 120psi and not been able to loosen a nut before. Throwing on a big-hiney wrench and a 3 foot pipe and throwing a little weight on it easily did the trick. Of course, I have also snapped off bolts using the same method
  16. Mine have not even shipped yet. I called their customer service and the story I got was funny as heck. Apparently, their intent for lowering the price so much was to blow out the stock that they had on-hand. In the short time they had the price so low, they not only got rid of their entire supply but have well over 500 outstanding orders that are on backorder. They had to place a special request with the company to get the items in so they could fill the backorders. The shipment is due tomorrow so they should be shipped within a couple days. The guy I spoke with had one of those "I don't friggin believe this happened" tones in his voice when he was explaining it to me. :D I'll wait patiently. Got a great deal and it isn't snowing yet. I still have my 30ft heavy equipment tie-down chain that I can use until they show up.
  17. just throw some radiator stop-leak in the gas tank. That should stop those pesky little leaks. DOH!!! *just kidding folks. I'd hate to think someone actually would do this*
  18. My father was doing some work on our old truck and needed to remove the springs. I don't recall why but I vividly remember how. He threw a jack under the wheel and jacked up until the spring was well compressed. He then took some bailing wire and tied the spring into it's compressed state. (you can probably all see where this is going). He then lowered the rig and jacked up the body so the tire dangled and the spring easily came out. He placed it on the floor of the garage and started working on the other side. Soon thereafter, there was this very loud crash and little bits of metal showering down on us. There was also a beam of light coming into the garage through the hole in the door that the spring had just used to exit. Apparently, he had laid it on it's side close to the wall and, when the wire failed to contain the spring, it launched through the garage, out the door, off the other car and landed across the street.
  19. I've done some work on some 'shocking' racks of equipment and quickly learned to stand on my right foot when grabbing something suspect (I'm right handed). Nothing like instantly being transported to your arse across the room with the nice smell of ozone floating around your head.
  20. heheheh... I've had my share of stupidness but the most recent was just this past Saturday night. My family and I were on our way out to dinner and my wife mentioned that it seemed cold in the house. I had the thermo set to 70 (since my boys are getting over being sick) and the actual temp read 65. I checked the vent and it was blowing cold air. Well, it was obvious to me that the pilot light in the furnace had gone out. :idea: I grabbed a long lighter and shot to the basement. I opened the furnace panel and, sure enough, the pilot was not lit. I flipped the gas valve to PILOT, pressed the button and threw some fire at the piolt. It lit just fine (as expected). Now came the fun part. I had forgotten that the heat was turned on up at the thermostat. -thnkboutit- When I switched the gas valve from PILOT to ON, I got an immediate WHOOSH of gas and 2 of the 4 burner rails lit. I thought "you dumb@!*%, turn the switch off nest time. Hmm... I wonder why only 2 rails lit...". :confused: As I leaned forward to look at the unlit rails, the little voice in my head that is supposed to keep me from doing stupid things finally woke up and said... "GAS IS ON... UNLIT BURNERS... RIGHT NEXT TO LIT BURNERS"... but it was too late. The next thing I saw was a ball of fire filling my entire field of view and I fell backwards a few feet. I also noticed that the two burners were still not lit. Now, I'm assuming that the little voice had been stunned and was unable to help me remember what had happend no more than a few seconds ago. Yea, you guessed it, I leaned into the furnace again to see why the 2 burners were still not lit. WOOSH!!!! again... a ball of fire surrounded my head. This time, the burners stayed lit and I had no interest in a threepeat. As I kept my distance, I had my wife turn the heat off then back on to see if the burners would all light. They did. She said she could hear the fireballs all the way upstairs and asked if I was alright. Other than my pride being hurt (and a few hairs gone), I was fine. Chalk one up for stupidity!
