2008 rough shifting

I recently took my 08 Pathy on a road trip from NC to OH, in the middle of WV I had my radiator go out on me (no SMOD thankfully) spraying out the top, I got towed to a parts store and replaced it in the parking lot and in doing so let out a very small amount of transmission fluid. I checked the dip...

08 Exhaust removal

I'm replacing the exhaust from the headers back with the Walker cats and muffler since I had a cat fail and I'm currently struggling to remove the old muffler and tailpipe. The joint and clamp where they meet is rusted together so I am attempting to remove them together since my cutting wheel barely...

Re: 2008 Passenger side cat removal

I ended up replacing both passenger side cats, when I removed the downstream cat to take out the upstream cat pieces of it were falling out and I couldn't tell if it was from the upstream cat that was definitely broken or the downstream one. The heat shield I just tightened the one bolt left down re...

2008 Passenger side cat removal

I need to replace my passenger side cat on my 2008 Pathy, but I'm struggling with just getting access to the bolts to remove the old one. The Haynes repair manual says to remove the exhaust manifold heat shield which I tried to do (breaking two of the 10mm bolts that held it on along the way) but on...

Re: 2008 good battery no dash lights won't start

Had it towed to the dealer and it turned out to be a bad wire in the harness to the ignition. They quoted around $4000 to replace the harness, but offered the option of running a separate wire for a total of $750, but $350 of that was the 2 hours of diagnostics. So obviously I said run a separate wi...

Re: 2008 good battery no dash lights won't start

Jumping did nothing, does the R51 have some sort of anti-theft mode? I ask because last night I set off the panic button to scare off a group of shady looking people standing near it and then this morning had this issue occur and it seems like something that would happen if an anti-theft mode was ac...

2008 good battery no dash lights won't start

Got in my Pathfinder this morning and turned the key and it didn't start, none of the dash lights came on, the screen didn't come on either, windows wouldn't work either, the dome lights and horn were the only electrical things working. Took the battery to have it tested after trying to jump start i...

2008 Rear blower issues

My 2008 SE had the rear blower not working, I replaced the blower motor resistor and it started working again the first time I turned it on and off just fine. I turned it on again and now it won't turn off. A note that all the resistors all the auto parts stores say fit it looked different than the ...

08 misfire aftermath

I recently purchased my 08 SE about a month ago with 98k miles and have put about 750 miles on it since and had it start idling rough and losing power. First thing I did was replace the spark plugs (got to learn how to dismantle the intake plenum to get to the passenger side ones) after replacing th...

Greetings from Raleigh, NC

Thanks for adding me to the forum. I purchased my 2008 Pathfinder SE w/4wd about a month ago with 98k miles on it. I'm looking forward to learning all about it and hopefully doing some modifications and hitting some trails.
