Pathy intermittently will not fire up

So this just started happening randomly to the Pathfinder. You go to start the truck, the key turns, but the engine / starter never engage, and all lights on the dash flicker quickly instead. Sometimes I turn the key and the dash lights flicker quickly, like they are being reset. If I turn the key t...

Yeah, thanks for the replies. The New Pathy hasn't sold me with its combination of CVT, issues, styling, and power, where the Durango has me questioning Chrysler build quality. That said, Dodges from the past 5 years have all been well put together and it seems that Chrysler is finally getting its a...

Anyone cross shop the R52 with the new Durango?

So the new Pathfinder looks nice but the new Durango does as well. Anyone else here spent time evaluating the two? These two seem to be the front runners of the current crop of large SUVs, and the Dodge is nicely appointed, plus I like the idea of an 8-speed transmission vs CVT, but I haven't driven...

Did the $660 at the local shops include install? How much did you pay for the install after buying online? For giggles I priced out tirebuyer.com for my wifes car and it came out $25 more than the local installed price. At the same shop they were going to ship them to. Seems like it just makes sens...

Good info - Last times I bought tires, Tire Rack was an easy choice, or a local shop would match them. Something apparently changed however as the last couple times I've called, their tire prices were very high. I always support local when I can - sadly the local guys I called were priced way too hi...

Price note on tire sellers..

Just want to share - when I ordered a new set of tires and shopped around for pricing, this was my break out: Tirerack.com - $680 shipped local shops - $660 SimpleTire.com - $630 shipped Tirebuyer.com - $597 shipped Tirebuyer.com will ship for free to select installers, which dropped my price $30, a...

Don't I have to run the EBC brake pads with their rotors? Or would it be ok use the green stuff on my resurfaced stock rotors? you should be fine as long as the resurfaced rotors are still within spec tolerances I've always been told that it's important to match rotors and pads so they have the sam...

I'm looking at new rotors as well as pads and see the Autospecialty kit with ceramic pads from Rockauto - anyone with feedback on those? Or the Raybestos set: Front: Raybestos 980370 Advanced Technology Disc Brake Rotor Raybestos ATD1094C Advanced Technology Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Set Rear: Raybesto...

Thinking of going with Conti LX20 as well. They just seem to get the best reviews for an all season tire. That said, can anyone point me where to find them at $135? Jesus that's low. The best I can find is $160. Tire size plays a factor in price - there's going to be a price difference between a Pa...

Always nice to see another data point, but I've always found CR reports basic at best and their test criteria often is too general for me. For Tires, TireRack is a much better source of reviews and test data imo. Currently I'm looking to buy a set of General Grabber HTS to replace the AWs on the tru...

In the end, my recommendation is to go with the Dorman TPMS sensors. They are reasonably priced (between $40-50 each @ Rockauto.com), they have replaceable stems in the event of one should break and they come with a lifetime warranty. As I mentioned early in this thread, if the sensors are more tha...

Bump for tires - it seems Tirerack and Discount don't have the Nittos or Toyos? Where are you guys seeing these tires?
