180sx Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 EVERYTHING! YOU MUST CHANGE YOUR WHOLE PATHFINDER!!! AHHH!! No, just regular stuff as usual. If you have not changed your water pump and timing belt since 90K, I would start with that. Check your distributor for excessive wear. Check your plugs to see if they need to be changed. If you haven't changed your diff fluid and trans oil in over 15K, I would do that too. Also, getting some test strips to test your brake fluid would be a good idea. If you havent changed your fuel filter, that too should be addressed. Other than that your normal routine things. Jose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02silverpathy Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 (edited) /\ /\ /\ Right fuel filter at least every year. I changed mine this Summer (2 yr old filter), when I emptied it out pouring gas out of the inlet the fuel came out rusty!! The filtered end came out looking clean, but there is just no telling how nasty the fuel was!! That dizzy is a big deal also!

GoPathyGo Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I would suggest checking the following and replacing as necessary. (Some of these have been covered above.) While the list seems long, a lot of these can be done fairly quickly visually or by touch. Some, such as the valve cover gaskets, take more time. 1. Belts 2. All hoses 3. Plugs 4. Fluid change (assuming you haven't done this very recently). Oil, tranny, t-case, diffs, brake, coolant and power steering 5. Radiator and fan (leaks, fan clutch bolt) 6. Filters (air, fuel, cabin) 7. CV boots 8. Brakes. Rotors, pads, calipers and hoses 9. Suspension. Ball joints, springs and shocks. Might want to replace these depending on when you last replaced them. 10. Electrical. Alternator and battery. 11. Valve cover gaskets 12. Cams and cylinder heads (if you're replacing 11) 13. Exhaust and heat shields. Visual inspection for leaks, tears and loose clamps and bolts 14. Sheetmetal and body. Visual inspection for rust, specially around the fenders. I'd suggest taking the flares off to see what's going on I'd also suggest running some diagnostics while she's on. See if all the measurements and readings are in line with specs. E.g., vacuum, ignition, voltages etc. This might seem like overkill. But worth doing to get the most out of the next 200k! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
