Yes, I did that and.. Good battery, good connections. I also checked that all the fuses were in tight. Tomorrow I will check all connections I can find. When it first happened I was surprised. But when it happened today I realized what had happened and immediately took stock of the situation. As I s...

Engine Stalls after hitting large bump? - no code

I'm having an odd problem. Yesterday I was driving across a set of railroad tracks at a good pace when my engine stalled. Today it happened again. I am by no means crossing the tracks like the "Dukes of Hazard" , but it is a pretty good jolt when I cross. This happened about a year ago, I ...

The black box on the left is cable locked to the rear seat frame. I can pull it out about 2ft to access if needed without unlocking cable. I use this box to padlock high value items (like camera & computer) when I'm on a job site or while parked at a store. Given time, thieves could climb in bac...

Volvite, those tires look nice and beefy on the 17's. A little more rubber for the cushion of the butt is always nice. Bigez, if you are looking for something semi rugged and good on gas I would highly recommend the BFG rugged terrains. Not to be confused with the rugged trails. They are suppose to...

Thanks, looks great. I was at the Goodyear store yesterday... Looked at the Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure with Kevlar. Less of an aggressive pattern. Not as beefy looking or as wide as the Duratracs, but still only 43lbs per tire and since by mileage is about 85% high speed highway, might elect for...

BigEZ, wanna sell your set of 18's if you downsize? I wouldn't mind having a spare set? Not to get off topic in this thread but.... I love your ride. Are you still using the Rage Roof rack? How's it affect your fuel economy on the highway? Yes, I was just thinking the same thing... Selling them, th...

What size did you end up going with? Reason I ask, you have the same pathfinder I do. I ended up selling my 18 LE rims and picked up a set of 17 Frontier rims to put on some 265/70/17 duratracs. It's a 31.6 as I didn't want to go 32s with the 18 LE rim and have the possibility of rubbing. Duratracs...

I have 33s on 18". One issue I have noticed is to get the best MPH on highway, you may need to run them at 40psi...which feels pretty hard. These tires are able to carry almost 4000lbs each, so they are really too much tire for the light little Pathy. They weight almost 70 lbs each + Rim. Add t...

From the Rancho to Bilstein shocks, or vice-versa?

Has anyone switched from the Rancho to Bilstein shocks, or vice-versa? Also, with a 2"spring spacer lift in rear, do I need Bilstein 4600 or 5100s? About a year ago I installed the Rancho lift with Airlift (Rancho 2" Lvl/lift, Rancho RS9000XL Rear Shocks, AirLift 1000) I have been mostly s...

My ex-wife ran her Nissan v6 Maxima for over 2 years without an old change. When she finally told me she was having an issue, the car was empty of all oil and the dipstick was covered in black carbon sludge. Values (and everything else) where tapping and engine was overheating and misfiring. (Truly ...

Yep, mine weren't maxed either.. although the big box shop said they were. When we did it manually, we lifted each wheel a little, made adjustment, then lowered wheel to che...

Re: Lifted and having rear alignment issues

I had the PRG 2" spacers F and R in the truck and even with the rear alignment maxed out it was always towed in a little. \----/ To solve the problem I purchased the 4x4parts.com HD springs. These should give my pathy a 2" (or so) lift. But the same problem exists. Do they make longer low...
