jux Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 (edited) Original owner of a 99.5 SE Pathfinder. She's got over 200k on her now so she spends more time in my garage getting the maintenance done than she used to. Mainly my wife's car but I can see a short ways down the road where it's going to belong to a teenager. I'm a home mechanic and do most of my own car work between a 96 Civic (250k), 92 F-150 (150k) and the Pathfinder. I consider myself handy enough to have so far avoided breaking anything major on any of the cars (to be edited later) during the repairs. I don't do mods to the cars because I don't off-road nor need anything more than the transportation they provide. I joined the forum to get differing opinions on how to approach various repair issues. I am a software/electrical engineer so if there's anything I can offer in the way of knowledge trade I would be pleased to provide what I can. I also have a good bit of knowledge about home repair and some knowledge of powerboats. Obviously anything I can gleam from my repair adventures is also something I will share constantly.

Precise1 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Welcome!! Sounds like you are in the same boat as most of us, a shade tree mechanic with other interests... Thanks for the offer of knowledge swap, I'm sure you'll be able to pitch in often. The first tip I'll give you is to go to the Garage section and the pinned Owners Manual thread. In one of the last posts there will be a link of where to go to download a Factory Service Manual... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jux Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 Pezzy: Thanks for the welcome. Precise: Thanks for the service manual pointer. I think I should install a computer in my garage so I can refer to it Off: I'm just North of where you were in AA County, spent a lot of time in PG in my youth. Coincidentally Most of my extended family is around Painesville so I wind up around Cleveland a lot. My daughter loves the science center on the lake.
