Proud New Owner of 2010 Pathfinder SE in Los Angeles

[dustinlocke]

Hi all,

I sold my '07 Frontier five years ago and have finally landed back in a Nissan. Purchased a few days ago with 60k miles.

Pictures or it isn't real:





Plans as of now:

• Bypass radiator *or* replace radiator (I spend some time in Utah winters and am concerned about cold fluid. Also read that the longer hose bypass on '08-10's can be problematic?)
  
  Restore black plastic on running boards
  
  Airlift 1000, hopefully

Anything else I should keep my eye on?

Nice Pathfinder and welcome
With purchasing a new vehicle i like to start by checking fluids and starting with a fresh oil change.
Just my piece of mind

I would just dump the radiator and have a nice shinny new one installed esp if you plan to keep the truck. And if your timing chain is making noise then you may as well get that out of the way at the same time.

Any recommendations of aftermarket radiators? Also is it true that replacement radiators are susceptible to the same issues?

Throw up a post in the R51 Engine and trans section about what radiator to get. Not sure if the aftermarket will have the same issue.
