awesome - thanks for the reply. i guess it's time to start tearing apart the dash. i'm hoping something in the CAN line failed which caused the tranny to overheat versus the tranny overheating causing the TCM to fail. man i love this car, but owning it since '05 has been made it hard to want to keep...

it also depends on how many miles the truck has. worn tie rod ends are directly linked to the steering so they may also contribute to the wander, assuming tires and alignment are good

Stumped: Front suspension new but still have bump steer

Hey guys. 2005 Pathfinder SE 2x4 with 170k miles. I have replaced almost everything I can think of in the front end but am still getting bump steer, shimmies, and oscillation in the steering wheel. Here's a list of what's been replaced so far regarding suspension: -Upper/Lower control arms (with bal...

sounds like a vacuum leak to me. we were replacing a part on my 05 and forgot to replace a vacuum line. when we started the engine, it had a high idle of about 1500 for 15 seconds, then would drop to 1000..after another 15 seconds or so, it would jump back to 1500. initially thought it was the throt...

thanks for the reply. I shift it into 1st always below 20mph. I usually put it into 2nd though so the car doesn't go so fast down the slope cause i live in a mountainous area. recently putting the car into 2nd doesn't slow it down at all. i can have it in 2nd and roll downhill to 50mph and the RPMs ...

Unusual transmission problem

Hey guys. 2005 pathfinder se here with 73k miles on it. did the transmission/radiator cooler bypass at 69k miles and replaced fluid (which was regular color). Here's the problem. When going down a slope, putting the car into 1st gear will not slow it down at ALL. I can roll to 45mph with no resistan...

will they fit?

I used search, but didn't find anything. I know the pathfinder/x/frontier wheels are interchangeable, but what about when talking about offset and tire width? I have the 2005 SE 16" 5 spoke wheels and I want to get the 16" 5 spoke frontier wheels. I want to mount my pathfinder tires on fro...

it definately has the power but I didn't notice it before. I noticed today it does it when I'm cruising at ~40mph. I'll try turning off the VDC, but is there a chance it's the U-joint?
