I just rolled over 286k miles. I came back to the forum just to see and forgot I had actually posted something so long ago.

How cool is that!

Let's hope that in the next 8 years you will make more posts than in the previous ones..

I expect the R51 diff to be a carbon copy of the Xterras non locking diff.
The Xterra guys say the diff is the weak spot for wading because the breather element sits really low.

I will do the rear diff breather mod on my my vehicles when I am back in US>

I have one of the "good" partnumbers.
But I am all about reliability.
Am at 148,000 miles and both me and the previous owner have been heavy on hiway miles.

Leave it in until it breaks.?
Or what about a prophylactic replacement.
Will be back in USA by end of year and would do it then I guess.

Only one I found...450 mm. https://www.leisurewheels.co.za/driving-impressions/driving-impression-nissan-pathfinder-2-5-dci/#:~:text=The Nissan team knew the Patrol would not,by the active brake limited slip (ABLS) system. Nice find!! Finally someone has found a hard number! (I know I know.. "fordi...

Good job and thanks for posting this!!!

PS: I broke it into paragraphs for greater easy of reading for members to follow along.

Do we have a published wading depth?

I know its not good for the diffs and the alternator.. but a lot of proper 4WD have a wading depth published.
For example the range rovers usually are at 600 mm

My Hankook Dynapro ATM2 after 2 years and 20,000 miles are still smooth and quiet.
However of course they are a fairly "mild" tread pattern as far as AT rated tires go.

I'm going to get this done when I am back in the US later in the year.
Am still well below 200k though, 10 yrs old with 148k

Wow it looks brand new.

That's a pretty rare occurrence on the R51's.

That's good to hear.
I heard about it on the Xterra forums and I was getting concerned since its same powertrain..
also conversely if its rare on R51 that means its also rare on Frontier and on Xterra.

Glad to hear you got her thru so many miles!

I always worry about the cats.. if the front ones go they could spout particles into the engine and ruin it..
So I am toying the idea of punching them out myself.
Of course I am only at 148,000

Oh, and welcome to ThePath!!!
