A trick I've used on Jeep mounts is to use a band saw with a fine tooth blade, slow speed and patience to avoid over heating and deforming mount to cut it to the height needed. One would think those would be an easy part to find, but so often the easy things turn into rabbit holes :D I can't say whe...

Great info as always smj. Wish you my neighbor! While tearing things down today to do t stat, belt, tensioner,hoses tranny lines ( amongst other things) etc when I pulled the fan off of the clutch, what I thought was normal grime was actually hard packed sand in every nook in fan. Space between the ...

Greetings! Wish I had found this forum sooner also. Wealth of unpublished info here,and more important experiences and sage wisdom. I hope it helps you as much as it has me, especially with all of our trucks quirks and nuances.

I need to correct myself. It's the NHTSA doing the investigation on 2002-2011 4runners. A lawsuit has been filed in DC late last year if I'm remembering right. Tacomas, Tundras and Sequoias were recalled. 05-2011 Tacomas recalled for the frame rust in 2016, but the 4Runner only had limited unpublici...

Greetings. I'm a noob as well. I have similar mysterious coolant loss, getting ready to replace rad, t stat, resevoir, belt, tensioner, hoses etc. (for other reasons) I've read here many people have changes in levels, and things are normal other wise. Air in the system is something to double check. ...

On the 4runner: I was looking into those last fall (similar model years as R51) and every one I looked at had SEVERE rot on the frames or 2-3 layers of undercoating. Did some digging and found a MAJOR manufacturing flaw. Apparently the frames made in Mexico (contactracted to Dana IIRC) had botched p...

HA!! Good hill to burp the cooling system on too! I'd love to put lockers in also. Too many things ahead of that tho

Been saying that about my Cj5 for 25 years as well!!!

Thanks for posting that! Brings back good memories. Jealous of the snorkle. That PF wasn't even sweating. Harry on that descent approach at the begining, whew. Driver could apply better balance of throttle, momentum and braking, but PF is very forgiving. Looks like they didn't have lockers or need t...

I know this is and older post so my apologies if I'm in the wrong place. New to using forums(In 2019? Really? Where have you been hiding!) It's funny, I've been thinking about posting good things about the PF. As a newbie I've been reading a TON of posts, mostly older, to familiarize myself with pot...

Greetings. I'm new to the Pathfinder world, but I've been lurking and researching here alot. I agree with Underworld, the 2012 would be the one to focus on-it won't have the SMOD or timing chain potential issues. For the fan clutch what I've learned is to stick with OEM nissan (if it needs replaced....

Thank you underworld. Coming from 03 trailblazer with 244,7xx miles (and very crowded under the hood) this truck is a dream. I am not going to miss BM err GM. I appreciate your suspension posts, steered me in the right direction. Look forward to sharing my projects. ps your avatar ROCKS!

weaver

Thank you. Many of yours and other's posts have been very helpful, esp. the rad #s. Right now I'm stockpiling parts (12 deg F outside) Like everyone else, can't wait for the weather to break, at least get above freezing!

Greetings all! I'm "new" but not"shiny" :D Finally got my R51 on1-3-19. 08 VQ40DE SE 4wd standard, 131,xxx mi. Lotta corrosion on her bones, I think she's from the N.E. I keep finding sand in crevices! Been lurking on your excellent forum and decided to join.(I usually don't join...
