ajtbone Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Just got a 98 Pathfinder for dirt cheap. Only issue previous owner mentioned was small radiator leak and bad O2. No problem, but there was no radiator leak just a loose clamp. But it was over heating in stop and go traffic and they didn't bother to mention sunroof leaking (sunroof is easy fix, already gutted interior and waiting to order parts) . I assumed the radiator leak was all to hide the fact they couldn't figure out over heat issue. They had replaced water pump removed the thermostat witch didn't help and probably didn't want to put anymore money in it. So I put new thermostat ($10) in and replaced fan clutch ($45) and it runs fantastic. They replaced battery also so now I just have to run through drive cycle to read codes and pass smog (any help on proper drive cycle would be appreciated). I've always had a 4x4 of some-type from small to big and I really like the feel of the pathfinder and the power the 3.3 is great compared to some of my old 4 cyl. trucks and a lot better on gas compared to my old 6.0 Chevy. This is a great forum so far and have already found great ideas and help. Can't wait wait to slap on some horsepower and lift it. Already looking at 4" suspension lift from krypton fabrication, Thorley headers, and MagnaFlow exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fpf Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) IMO, you should either do a body lift or SAS. I've spent well over 4k going with a suspension lift and fixing all of the weak parts that get strained with the suspension lifts. Don't do it. I wish I would have just gone with a SAS. At this point I'm in too deep to go back. Just my two cents. Now im broke Edited August 30, 2014 by fpf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
