Checked u joints?

Fluid is clean.

Have not checked u joints. Would they cause issue in only "almost stopped" then acceleration and not starting from a full stop?

Thanks for the help!

08 LE V8. 138k miles. Original radiator replaced. Recently I am starting to get a shudder, what seems to be either the torque converter or the tranny. It happens only after you slow down to almost a stop, and then go to drive off (without stopping). Say coming up to an intersection. It shudders for ...

I get the point, and that makes sense.
What I don't get though is technically I am running more air than the stock as I am on 285/65 tires.

Thanks guys for the responses.
All very useful info.

@smj999smj I do do a fair bit off off roading so an all season wasn't ideal for me. That being said the LTX is a great tire I had on my 4Runner, so a very valid suggestion.

@Thupertrooper Very interesting info, thank you.

Hoping to get the wisdom of others here. Since this is ride related I posted it in suspension. I got a 2008 LE V8, came with 265/60R18 tires stock. I have since switched to Bf Goodrich AT KO2, but at 285/65R18. So a reasonably bigger and heavier tire. I primarily did this because I really like the l...

Is it that the V8 Pathfinders don't leak...or that there is such a small percentage of them compared to V6 models that we just don't hear about a lot of them failing? Also, the majority of failures are on 05-06 models, but there are still plenty that have failed on 07-10 models. I wouldn't be so co...

Your mechanic is wrong. All Nissan trucks with automatic transmissions have a radiator with an integral transmission fluid cooler. You can see on the part diagram linked below the trans cooler hoses on the V8 R51 Pathfinder: http://www.nissanpartsdeal.com/parts-list/2008-nissan-pathfinder/radiator-...

Would love to know if the bugs were worked out. And if the steering wheel controls work well.

Usually there are four different systems in regards to this. 1. The normal remote unlock via radio frequency. What happens when you press the button on the remote. works at a longer distance. 2. The inteli key which lets you unlock by pushing the button on the door. only works much closer to the car...

So I used a LOC to keep my original radio for my 2012 Pathfinder. At first I was getting a buzzing noise that increased as i accelerated and decreased as decelerrated. I fixed that by ungrounding my LOC. Now I have a high pitched noise that rises regardless of whether Im accelerating or not. It goe...

I was recently told something similar by a mechanic. Along the lines of V8s don't have the internal radiator cooler, so don't have this problem. Can anyone confirm please? I am thinking the possibilities are: 1. Mechanic is wrong 2. My car already had the bypass done by a previous owner so the mecha...
