Hello!
Bought our family Pathfinder brand new at the end of 2005. Been pretty good so far. Just a few issues.
Problems so far: Paint coming off around windshield, right rear power window not working, air conditioner fan suddenly quit, and some plastic stuff falling off. But three kids are tough on it.
Just turned 100G. Figured it was time to spruce it up a bit as it is stone stock.
Came in here through a search about upgrading suspension for hauling that I do with an enclosed 12' trailer of dirt bikes and towing our Class 11 race car.
Glad I found out about the radiator/tranny issues! So I am desperately trying to fix that as this car needs to last! I expect to get another 100G and then some before buying another. Hopefully Nissan will change their mind about the new ugly mini van Pathfinder by then!
Will be doing the Rancho lift and Air 1000 really soon. The Duratracs and probably a tranny cooler to fill in for the bypassed one.
I owned a 1986 1/2 Nissan Hardbody back in high school and drove that thing into the ground and put over 200G on it with only one tranny replaced just before I sold it years ago. I towed a trailer a lot and overloaded it way to often.
Anyhow glad to find this forum!
