Wheels straight while you're trying to shift? Sometimes the transfer case is finicky if the front wheels are turned either way. Moreso shifting back to 2WD, but doesn't hurt to ask...

Unsure what fan it is I think its my coolant fan. Will not turn off. From start up driving hours an...

Answer #1: It never made a gurgling noise, but I can tell you that the engine cooling system can appear full at the reservoir while really missing 2/3 of its fluid. This happened to me after my radiator was replaced and the technicians did not do a proper flush and fill. Symptoms were slight overhea...

Got the rear measured, going to look for a bracket plus bushing option. Not happy with how the polyurethane replacement sits in the stock bracket in the front. It's improved handling but not what I think it could be...

If you're going to spend $139 at Best Buy and have the radio pulled out anyway, why not just buy a new radio with an AUX and/or USB port?

Stock radio is awful for sound quality anyway, try Crutchfield for the latest deals.

I only got a few minutes this morning to check things out and discovered that the U-joint for the forward drive shaft near the transfer case has some play in it. Not sure if that was enough to cause the vibration I was feeling, though it has to replaced anyways. I will check the ball joints next af...

Not sure if they changed this from one model year to another but in my 2011, of the two dash outlets, the top one is switched, the bottom one is always hot. The outlet in the arm rest storage compartment is switched and the one in the rear cargo area is always hot. p Ah...you may be right. One of m...

Center console between the seats or center in the dash? Between the seats is easy - pull up the fascia over the top of the drink holders, then pop up the centerpiece around the shifter, back end first. Beyond that depends on where you want to go and what you want to do. I'm assuming you're running s...

Re: Opening center/shift console

Looking for an instructional on how to remove the center console from my 2011 PF. There is a rattle somewhere in there that I'd like to investigate, but can't seem to find a service manual or youtube video that applies. This was mine: http://www.thenissanpath.com/viewtopic.php?t=5269&highlight=...
