Thanks! Yeah, just thought I'd double check... Thanks for the link. As far as the 4WD light...it's never worked right and will continue to blink forever unless I stop and go into reverse or make a very sharp turn either way...which isn't the best when you're on the highway going 60 mph! I came from ...

Question regarding 2005 SE tranny fluid

I bought a 2005 SE last winter and the transmission had been rebuilt from the previous owner. It has the radiator bypassed. I'm thinking about replacing the transfer case fluid and the differential fluids since I'm not sure that the rebuilt would have covered any of those. The tranny has about 20,00...

Just an FYI...I too have terrible bump steer on my 2005 pathfinder. I also have the super soft rear springs and was getting complaints from pretty much everyone that sat in the back that the truck was SOOOOO bumpy. I don't tow but carry quite a bit of gear and people on occasion. Anyway, I figured w...

easy...kinda fix for you

I'm not on here often but I fixed mine by dropping the glove box (as if you were changing the filter) and then running through the modes to see what was happening. Turns out the actuator door behind the glove box was skipping a tooth...since I didn't want to tear the dashboard out I found someone on...

I realize the sway bar itself is a different diameter and the bushings I have appear to be correct. I'm curious if the end links are actually the same or different. I might have to take a closer look and see if there is a noticeable difference or if they are oriented differently.
Thanks!

2005 front and rear end links question

I have a 2005 SE and replaced the front sway bar bushings. Made a noticeable difference in the way the car handles bumps...steering was jumping around a lot when you'd hit bumps in the road... Anyway, I just bought some rear bushings and end links for both the front and rear. I haven't installed the...

I guess it's a non-issue now...lol

I went out to the truck and just ever so slightly tapped the brake so I could drop it into gear and the lights never came on again...

This vehicle definitely has some quirks...oh, and the tire pressure warning light went off too!
weird

Thanks! I was planning on giving the e-brake a look when the weather turns a bit nicer here. I'll give the brake fluid a check and if that isn't the culprit I might have a a shop check it with a scan tool... Would most shops be able to do this or would it need proprietary Nissan Consult II type scan...

VDC and Slip light came on

Googled this and found lots of different reasons why this may happen. Drove my daughter to school the other day after a good size snowfall I was in 4wd...continued on to work and both the VDC and Slip light came on when I switched out of 4wd for the drive home. I should mention that the 4wd doesn't ...

So, the shop I took the truck to has verified that the primary chain has stretched and the tensioner to it is fully extended. I had him test the oil pressure and he said it's running about 22 psi which is about 5 psi below ideal. He's done about 15 of these engines and he said that when the oil gask...

Thanks for the suggestions! I plan to take it into a shop that my favorite transmission guy suggested... They seem to know their stuff and are the ones that suggested the oil gasket might want to be looked at while they are in there. I'll have them give it a good look and report back. I was getting ...

oh man, what have I gotten into! So give me an honest opinion here...if you can, I've had one place quote me 1800.00 for replacing the chains and stuff with a kit. He mentioned the oil galley fix would be included in that. if he didn't do the oil fix it would be 1500.00... Is it worth it to bite the...

Thanks for the feedback... I did notice yesterday that when I come to a stop my oil pressure does dip down on the low side but I don't get a warning light or anything. I have also read that this can be due to a seal behind the back timing cover that fails. I'm just afraid I have jumped into a vehicl...
