Hopefully the plugs will melt before the pistons do... jk, I'm not going to run this without re-tuning.

I've been talking to a few well-intentioned friends who suggested wiring in a resistor with the proper ohm reading to replace the post-cat O2 sensor. While excited about this prospect, my initial ...

I have an email into revup, and I think I may have a local tuner willing to take a look.

Not to show all my ignorance, but what are the long term affects of running lean?

WestMIPath

Hey all, I've been reading quite a bit of chatter about reprogramming the computer after installing the JBA long tube headers. I have never tuned a vehicle before (or had one tuned for that matter) and am feeling a lot over my head at this point. Currently, my Pathy is sitting a little depressed in ...

I have an '08 with the V8 and have had no issues with overheating, and frequently pull up to 7000lbs. It is still prone to the SMOD, as we discovered while on a 5000 mile trip with a 3500lb camper. Limped it home, replaced the radiator, flushed the transmission 3x and haven't had any major issues ...

Been poking around here the past few months, and have posted a few things. Just thought I should officially post in here with my '08.

I used to drive an EXT Trailblazer, but wanted a V8 with the third row. In buying a Pathfinder I sacrificed some interior space, but I love the ride and power. We ...

Been driving the Pathfinder all week with zero oil loss per constant dipstick checks and zero signs of burning. This makes me very happy. After 200ish miles, the oil is already darkening though, so I may do the next oil change tomorrow.

On a side note, I absolutely LOVE driving this in Michigan ...

Did you ever get a resolution to this? I'm looking at the same set for my '08, and am looking for insight.

When I picked up a new oil pan (bent the flange pretty severely pulling the old one.), I picked up two gaskets for just that reason

WestMIPath

PCV was completely plugged up, but it was mostly just neglect from what I can tell at this point. The carfax report listed oil changes every 20,000 miles or so. I just assumed they were taking it to different garages that don't all report to carfax when they do service. Assuming bites me it the arse ...

Took advantage of the warmer weather and put the pathy back together over the past few nights. I ended up dropping the oil pan too, just to see how bad things were. Good thing I did, the oil pickup screen was 75% plugged and there was a healthy layer of sludge deposit. You can see for yourself here ...

So, I'm finally getting time to get back into this. I did do a compression test, and all cylinders are hitting between 170 and 180 psi. I don't have the tools (or knowledge) to do a fuel system leak down test though.

When pulling the plugs, the 1 and 3 plugs were by far loaded up the worst. You ...

I am planning on replacing the PCV, although I feel the cloud of smoke is way greater than what a faulty valve could potentially cause. The oil is not over full, as I've been checking it regularly to gauge how much I've been burning. So far, about 1/2 quart over 750 miles.

I didn't think about ...

Good news: I found a great '08 LE V8 with only 105K on it for an almost "too good to be true" deal. I went through it with as fine tooth comb as I could at the time and found it didn't need much aside from a front diff seal, a set of shocks, and the middle seat cup holder. Deal was good enough that ...

WestMIPath

I'm gearing up to retire my '03 Trailblazer EXT for a '08-'12 Pathfinder. I wanted something a little smaller, but still had a 3rd row (for kids mostly) and had a decent towing capacity. After test driving a handful of Pathfinders, I'm in love! I do have a few questions/concerns I'm hoping this ...

Happy to be here and happy to finally have my Pathy
