Curious to see what they said too. Do new trannys for our Pathfinders really cost ~$7k?!?!?!? Mother of God that's expensive. And I thought my Acura transmission was expensive (remand for ~$3500!) How did the auto industry go from $700 to rebuild a 700R4 to $3500 or more for a Nissan transmission. ...

By lowering the Pathfinder more than an 1" you'll lower the roll center and the truck will totally handle like chit (plowing into turns with alot less frontend bite)

Sadly going forward any males purchasing a next gen Pathfinder will require castration and to be hen pecked. Too funny. My worst fear is that sometime in the next 5-10 years, we won't have any "manly" choices left. The American male has been reduced to a shell of a man at little league ba...

Wow seems like Nissan has really strict specs on thier emission systems. Seems like the emissions warranty should be longer if they are going to do that, or lower the prices of the emissions parts.

But no worries cause I heard that when one goes out the other is not far behind and I seem to be proving that with mine. Guys, if I had a ...

Yeah I suspected that, funny thing about the other cat I replaced, it looks perfect. I saved it just incase it turns out the cat was good and maybe I just got a small vaccuum leak or something else causing the MIL light. I put the OBD 2 scanner on today and found that the MIL light turned on @ 43MPH...

I don't think this is related but i installed an auxiliary fan on the transfer cooler and had to disconnect and remove the battery for a short period on time. Could this have somehow caused this 2nd mil light
