I have an 08 LE V8. 2 weeks ago I purchased a 2015 Jayco Jayflight 28 BHS. It weighs 5000lbs dry/empty and GVWR is 7200lbs. That gives me 2000lbs worth of gear to keep under the 7000lbs tow rating. Counting my wife, kids and gear I don't think I'll exceed the 2000lbs. However driving from the dealer...

Very few diesel Pathfinders on this forum. Those that post usually end up being the first for diesel motors.

I typically ride around at 15 PSI. It seems to work well for me. I usually drive with my wife and I and our two sons in the back but they only weight 60lbs together. I think I'm still on OEM shocks, but I think I need to replace them very soon. I've heard lots of good things about the Bilsteins.

I'm buying a travel trailer tomorrow. I've towed before and already have my brake controller and 7 pin ready to go. However, now that I will be towing more often I decided I wanted a better brake controller to ensure I have good stopping power behind my Pathfinder. I decided to purchase a Tekonsha P...

regarding the air valves, is it better to run two valves or one? seems that using one would equalize the pressure at all times, and you wouldn't have to worry about different pressure in one side, should a leak develop on the other hand, it might allow a pressure shift while cornering or when hitti...

Thanks for the response. So to follow up, I'm not all that versed in the process of aligning a vehicle but do the bags make that much of a difference in terms of the alignment? Would I want to get the alignment done after the bags are in and at the psi preferred for daily driving? I always have the...

I have noticed a difference with the bags filled and empty for alignment issues. I think most of those that have the bags keep them filled about 12 PSI or so which I think does make a difference for the alignment.

I am going down to my local tire co to get a tire rotation on the Pathy at 8am when they open. I can't recall when I bought them if I get free rotation or not so we shall see? Most tire companies will give you free rotations for the life of the tire when you purchase them from their store. I did my...

I'm about to purchase a travel trailer to tow behind my 08 V8. Trying to find out from those that tow heavy do you have a programer like bullydog? I'm below my tow rating but want to know if there are any gains if I end up purchasing a programer.

Bought new tires in September of 2014. I just got back from a two month trip for the military overseas and was looking at my tires and my right rear tire looked bad. Almost to the wear bar on the outside. Took it to sears where I have an alignment for three years and the alignment was within specs. ...

Thing ran like a champ, cold a/c at high school while many of my friends had crap cars with all four windows down for a/c. The only complaint I had for the truck was ...

So got the Pathfinder back from the dealership today. They ended up replacing the drive belt, bet tensioner, fixing the oil cooler O-ring, pinion seal, topped off fluids and it cost $53.53 with tax. Nothing major but had I not had the CPO warranty it was $681.24 for parts and labor. They advised a f...
