2007 pathfinder 4x4 SE
230k miles
went on a 500 mile trip with no issues, started overheating the second in pulled into my driveway.
history:
timing chain and water pump replaced < 5000 miles ago due to the popular rattle
new coolant added at the same time.
i noticed that when it was overheating the fan wasnt spinning. could easily stop it with a rolled up newspaper so I replaced the fan clutch with an OEM one. STILL OVERHEATED.
next, i drained the coolant, replaced the tstat STILL OVERHEATING
now what? going to try to burp it again just in case. when it overheats its super slow getting there. like i can have it running for 5-10 minutes before it gets to about 210 degrees (checked via torque app)
I shut it down at 240 to prevent more damage.
when i drained the coolant there wasnt any oil in it. seemed super clean. hopefully it isnt a HG.
if it is a HG, time to toss some water wetter and trade it in for something else.
i dont really wanna throw parts at this anymore. thoughts?
