Looks Good.

Volvite, Looks like there is a removable peice (Oval with 2 bolts) that will allow you access to the filter.

However I must say I'm a bit worried by the bypass...I'm sure what it does it warm the transmission fluid up in cold weather. Not an issue for us California folks, but for people who live in colder climates that could be bad. That has been the #1 item that has held me back from doing so. My transmi...

Hiya Flippy

Looks like a good plan so far. Glad to see you moving to a new project

Hope you have fun with it.

After hours of reading on this subject, this one post is what truly helped me. just did the bypass. easier done than describing it. but I did not use any additional parts. no coupler, no hose clamp (reuse original), no zip tie. you have 2 hoses - hose A - from external transmission cooler to radiato...

Tzvier

do the bypass. It's simple, and great peace of mind.

I know exactly what you mean, it's a little over a 4 hour drive for me.

Well, after using the method provided by thenewx, the air coming from the vents is hot as can be.

Also got around to replacing the oil pressure sending unit, gauge works again, so I'm happy.

Been lurking for a month now with a couple posts, figured I'd introduce myself. I (my wife) have an 05 SE-OR 4x4. Just under 100k on the clock with a lot of TLC needed. Not a whole lot done to it as it's the wifes mode of transportation, but I'm slowly catching up on the neglect from the past few ye...

new to the sight and pathfinders, been in the region for a couple years. Living in Layton, UT. Got an 05 SE-OR 4x4 with ~100k on the clock. It's the wifes vehicle, it's been "loved" (or so she says) a good bit. Slowly getting back into the condition it deserves.

Thermostat is aftermarket, oem spec from autozone. it is the correct one and functions as it should, as does the one i removed. I think it does have a lot to do with air in the system still. I haven't had a chance to do it with the front raised (no jack :( or stands), but probably will this weekend....

Tzvier

I dont really think I'd need to do a flush. The fluid that I drained from the rad/hoses while doing the T-stat change looked almost brand new.

Tzvier

Thanks for the advice Terry.

It's an 05 SE Off Road 4x4, just under 100k.

As far as I know, the water pump. has never been replaced.

It has the rear heater, and he heater core could be all gummed up as well. Guess that will be my next project, figuring out how to resolve that.

Tzvier

Well, I changed the thermostat and did the tranny cooler bypass on the wifes pathy this weekend. The bypass was cake by just switching the hoses around. The thermostat was a huge PITA. Whoever designed that thing needs to be shot. But I got it changed none the less, my cold to normal idle time drast...
