![]() Here we are in 2012, and the only real way to have some fun off-road is in a pickup truck. Today’s SUV’s are either big gas guzzling road hogs, or demure sweet smelling front wheel drive cars, that are suffering from an identity crisis. (AKA Cross-overs) So with that said, “What happened to the REAL SUV’s?” It seems like the 90’s were the last years where the SUV actually lived up to its actual initials, Sports Utility Vehicles. “What happened to the REAL SUV’s?” Now, before I go on, let me just say that a lot of this article will be based on fact, and heavily opinionated. Well at least the real car guys may know what I’m going to discuss. Here’s the question for everyone. On 9597 models, to erase DTCs using Consult, select ERASE in the SELF DIAG. On all models, MIL stored memory will be erased if battery terminal is disconnected. On 9599 models, MIL stored memory will be erased by switching from Mode II to Mode I. In any case, the ball joint spacers are a proper way to get the alignment back within specs – should you need them.Today I want to go over something that a lot of people may, or may not have thought about in life. On pre-95 models, MIL stored memory will be erased after selecting Mode III or Mode IV.

You shouldn’t NEED to do this if you use their lift kit, because the new upper control arms are built to the new lifted specs. So I went back to Mikhail at and ordered their ball joint spacers. I don’t want to add many shims, since this truck will be banging around off-road and too many shims poses a potential fail-point. It’s an old-school design that requires adding shims between the upper control arm & chassis to get it within specs. ![]() The rear (so far) just required a little simple trimming.Īlignment is proving to be more of a headache than anticipated. And I have taken a lot of metal out of the FRONT inner fenders. That is the cover that you remove to get to your pump without having to pull your gas. I trimmed the plastic fender flares (front & rear) as subtly as possible, rather than just remove them all together. In the rear cargo area you pull the back plastic strip that runs around where your hatch latches and pull the carpet FROM the rear right to the front left of the cargo area until you see the round/square panel with 4 10mm bolts. If it comes away with a heavy coating of oil, the culprit is either a crack or a faulty seal. Run your finger along the edges of the bearing seal on the backside of the fan clutch. The only way to lock the doors is either using the lock switch button on the inside of the door, or by manually pusshing down on the locks. Give the water pump hose a quick jostle as well to see if the problem might lie there. Plus with 33-inch tires, I need all the rear tire clearance I can get.Įven with the full 3-inch lift on this Pathy, I’m still having to cut & trim the truck to fit 33s. Recently my remotes for my door locks havent been working (yes Ive checked the batteries). Step 3 - When the lights blink four times this is the mode needed to display the trouble codes, flip the switch or turn the screw. The led light will blink one time for mode one, then two times for mode two, three times for mode three. It does give the Pathfinder slightly more of a ‘raked’ presence… but I wanted to account for the heavier 33-inch spare that will eventually hang off the back. Step 2 - Turn the key to the 'ON' position without starting the engine, next flip the switch or turn the screw. I went with the 3-inch lift front & rear. Or – you can do the full 3-inch lift both front & rear. ** gives you the option of doing a 3-inch lift in front with 1.5 lift coils in the rear to ‘level’ the Pathfinder. But you can buy them directly from as part of the lift kit. In the rear cargo area you pull the back plastic strip that runs around where your hatch latches and pull the carpet FROM the rear right to the front left of the cargo area until you see the round/square panel with 4 10mm bolts. I had already gotten the Rancho RS9000XL shocks from Rock Auto. You can also choose from a couple different shock-options depending on budget. *You can order the kit WITH or WITHOUT shocks. Any - Answered by a verified Nissan Mechanic The transmission gear oil was ready to change out in my pathfinder.
