With the way gas prices are climbing steadily and my wife driving from the burbs to the city for work everyday now we decided it was time to jump ship and get something with better MPG. So the pathi went away and we are now rocking a Rouge. The loss in size is huge, but the gain in MPG easily makes ...

I was in an F-14 squadron so tool accountability is huge. I think the term Epic Fail fits this quite well.

So far so good, vehicle hasn't shut down on us once.

Best thing to do with the 05+ Pathfinder that DON'T have this problem is to carefully cut the strap and plastic/rubber covering. Clean off all the crap and wrap it up again and apply silicone to the open areas that trap dirt and sand.

I'll take some pics of the piping and rubber hoses later. I ended up cutting out the bad section and putting in some new pipe with compression fittings. It took quite a few trips to find the right fittings and piping 5/8's. So far it is holding up. Probably put 500 miles on it and no leaks.
