Re: Replace stock sus with Moog/Bilstein?

Shipfixer, That was exactly the kind of feedback I needed, thank you! I think the spring rate of the V8 springs would be quite similar, since the wire is the same diameter. The question would just be how many wraps do each set have. I think they're just pre set to a higher sag to account for the ext...

Re: Replace stock sus with Moog/Bilstein?

I'm actually wondering about going with the 81117 Moog springs, which are the rears for the V8 version. The diameter, wire diameter, and compressed length are the same, but the at-rest length is .37" longer. This thing is going to be loaded up with camping stuff and both the kids more often tha...

Re: Loss of power in 4low going up steep hill

Interesting, I've never heard of turbocharged engines doing well at altitude, maybe the newer ones do? Around here people avoid turbos because they generally do more poorly than NA when you get up high. But maybe that's an outdated way of thinking, I don't know. Good thought about the cam position s...

Ah, yes, sorry I do have the more common V6. Thanks for the link, that's a great amount of maintenance you did on yours, and a great list of things to check over time.

Replace stock sus with Moog/Bilstein?

Hi all, I've only just started posting as a new owner of a 2012 Pathfinder. I'm going through all of what it needs to be ideal for our uses and next on my list is suspension. We bought it pretty exclusively to be a camping/daytripping vehicle for the family. We live pretty close to some great stuff ...

AC doesn't engage, replace just clutch or...

Hi all, New 2012 owner here, I'm going through our new truck and doing all the basic service stuff to make sure it's up to date. We bought it with the AC not working, and it's time to dive into that. Here's what I know: -The clutch DOES receive a 14v signal when the AC is turned on, but it does not ...
