I was just replacing the air filter on my LE V8 and I noticed this rubber hose just sitting there in front of the air cleaner assembly… there is a clip attached to the hose, but can't seem to find what it's supposed to be attached to. Is this a vacuum hose that is supposed to be connected somewhere?...

I just dropped off my 2008 LE V8 for an oil change and a "check-up" before I cross that 80,000 mile zero-copay mark. My plan was to do the by-pass this weekend after it's given a clean bill of health. To my surprise, the dealer called me a couple hours later that radiator/transmission cros...

Perpetual, Thats exactly the noise you described. For lack of a better term it sounds like an old fashion "geiger counter" in the movies. Its very annoying and even passengers ask what it is. Im exited to look at the solution you mentioned. The dealer here is convinced its behind the dash...

Yea last week I taped off my intake great near the windhsield wipers. I get a distinct rattle on the highway that is clearly wind related. It soulnds like its coming from the windshield wiper area. I cant figure it out for the life of me. I will tape the doors next. I have not found any aftermarket...

I have the same exact truck... a 2008 LE with the 5.6 Liter V8. I personally like the taller gears on 4th and 5th; I haven't experienced the downshifts like you describe when I'm cruising at a higher gear - unless you mean flooring the gas every time - then I get what you're saying. If I'm passing a...

Thanks guys. It did come across to me a few times to get the dealer to take back the truck. Had the compression not been restored to specs or if there were scorches on the cylinder walls, I would have parked it back at the dealership and contacted my attorney. Luckily this was not the case. It was a...

IT'S FIXED!!! :D :D :D Picked up the valve covers, gaskets and pcv valves from my nearby Nissan dealer on Thursday, and I brought the parts and my Pathfinder to a repair shop near my work. I asked the shop owner what I wanted to have done; first he sounded puzzled as to why I want just the valve cov...

Follow up again.... So, I picked up the LE last night. The Hyundai dealer ran engine flush through the engine twice upon recommendation by the Nissan dealer. The drive home was good with no apparent smoking. I stopped in at Walgreens to grab a few items and then when I started up the engine in the p...

Follow up... Got a call today from the Service Advisor I was working with. He told me that that Nissan "flushed" the engine and got a lot of the sludge out of the engine. Upon re-checking the cylinder compression, I was told that it had gone up considerably up to Nissan specs. He said that...

Ok, so I just heard back from the Hyundai Service Department. The Nissan dealer took a look at my truck and discovered sludge (well, duh) and possibly low compression in cylinder #2. They said that they need to put a couple more hours of diagnostics into it to drop the oil pan and see what lurks ins...

Thanks for the replies guys... My LE was never in a flood nor was it a rental car. It was a leased vehicle. I honestly believe that it just didn't receive oil changes at the intervals that it was supposed to. My guess is that the motor is sludged up and oil is getting into the combustion chambers an...

I just recently bought a 2008 LE with the 5.6 Liter V8. I was amazed by it's equipment and V8 performance and was happy to take it and drive it home that same day. The truck had about 54,800 miles on the clock. Immediately the next day, I noticed whitish/bluish smoke coming out of the tailpipe upon ...
