I ended up going too my local FireStone Store.They price quoted me $360 parts and labor.Needed an oil change, Threw that in.I can't be driving around woundering how much gas i have !!! Bill came out too $417 total it took them close too 6hr from the time i drop of my car. Got my car back and went to the local walmart down the street,and come out to find my Batterydead, :x back too firestone Added another $123.00 for them too install....There goes my weekend,,,,,, I havent posted here in awhile working now, Dont have the time i used to have......here is a new pick of my truck..

Looks good... I like the wheels! What size tires are you running... 285/50/20? Sucks that you went through the fuel sender issue, but hey, at least you got a new one installed and won't have to worry about it for awhile!

I also have an 05 Pathfinder. When my fuel level sensor went out I checked with Nissan there was not a recall for 05 models, only 06 and up. Dealer quoted me $400-something to replace the sensor. I bought the sensor and replaced it myself for about $120. Fast forward several months and I get a letter from Nissan saying my Pathfinder now has a recall for the fuel level sensor. I sent them a copy of my reciept and was sent a refund for the cost of the sensor. So, you may want to check with Nissan again and see if your Pathfinder is covered in the recall. I'm not sure how they will handle it since you didn't have the work done at the dealer.

Anything is worth a try. I would send in a copy of my reciept for the work done and see about getting money back for it.

I got the letter late last yr and I have an 05, that is strange. I would investigate further and make them pay!
