I am in PA.

Sorry, I forgot I posted basically the same exact question a while ago.

Reason I am on here is I just cut away another stock exhaust clamp and used a stainless hose clamp to replace it.

I NEVER HEAR OF ANYONE ELSE COMPLAINING ABOUT RATTLING AND RUSTING EXHAUST SYSTEMS (Ford, Honda ...

Is Nissan just "bad" at building good exhaust systems or do the heat shields, welds, and clamps on them rust off and rattle like the rest of the car manufactures?

This is my third Nissan. I feel like I am always cutting off clamps or using stainless hose clamps to tighten rattling components of the ...

Looking for advice on transmition fluid change.

1. Dealer or a local tranny/oil change shop

2. drain and fill what you can or the full flush where they flush it under pressure to get all of the old fluid out?

I have 83k on my pathfinder now. Did the bypass at 50k. Absolutely no shifting problems ...

Ok, its no longer a sensor issue.

Sensors all transmitting.

When the mechanic reset all of the sensors, they showed 35psi and transmitting and the vehicle's computer accepted the program and the TPMS light turned off.

The mechanic said the way the system works is the computer rakes a reading ...

I have been at war with my TPMS sensors for 3 years now. I get the malfuntion indicator. Flashes for a while then goes solid.

I took it to the dealer 3 years ago and they reset it and it was finne for 20 minutes then it flashed and went solid.

I took it back, they scanned it and said the sensors ...

bump for anyone that has tried this POS tool and got the same alarm from the dash cluster.

I have new tires, new rims, new sensors and this POS tool didn't do shiz.

my wife's odyssey initiated and registered the new sensors all on its own. No tools, no trip to the dealership, no nothing. I put on ...

Capt. 10k or more should be fine.

I think its atrocious that the factories recommend 3k-5k changes for oil. That was 30 years ago when it was recommended with the crappy gas, crappy oil that broke down easily, and how open the engine was for dirt.

New engines, new oils can go and go plus its less ...

You are in Cali too.

I figured the salt brine and salt they put down for snow causes the rapid rusting but I guess its any kind of moisture eats the welds and bands.

I am doing what I did with my other vehicles and thats either use stainless steel hose clamps or complete removal of the heat shield ...

Mobil 1, Mobil 1 filter.

Nothing else needed.

8-9k easy between changes

purrs like a kitten when the heat shields are not rattling!!!

Should have bought the 4wd. Yo uwould have pulled right through it.

I have no idea why people buy SUV's without 4wd.

If you bought it for the size and gas milage get a minivan then.

Is it just my luck or do the welds/straps on Nissan's heat shields suck??

We've had 3 Nissans, all different vehicles and generations and everyone had horrible heatshields.

After 70k they begin to rust off, rattle, the straps fall apart, etc...

My wife's Odyssey has 90k and I checked her's and ...

Anyone give me some advice?

Also... is the lighter switched or is it always hot?

i was thinking about tying into it for the headrest DVD players I got the kids but I want it to be switched.

If not I will run the power wires up to the fuse panel and get an "add a fuse".

i am looking for the least ...

allisojh

Yep...

Don't use the "auto" climate control. I think that control blows.
