Pathfinder

I’m thinking of buying an SUV and I have a crush for the Nissan Pathfinder.
I know consumer reviews are fairly good but I’d like to have a first-hand account from actual users.
How does it perform for city/highway/trail ?
Do you think it is worth $40k for the 4WD V6 LE model ?
One question I forgot to ask is whether the rear seats can be fully folded so as to allow sleeping in it ?

I drive an 08 S 4WD. Paid 20K. Bought it used a year and a half ago. To me $40K for a V6 model is a bit pricey even if brand new.

i picked those years for the Nissans because i would like the more powerful engine. other than the more powerful engine are the 2000 year versions of the Nissans different than the newer versions cars any different?

i picked these cars because i want a reliable small suv that is fairly easy to find in a manual transmission. is there any others that come to mind?
the for explorer is the worst suv ever made. it is not reliable and has the worst reviews and the most mechanical problems recorded.

None of the above since none of them can come even close To Ford Explorer for quality or reliability.

looking to buy new tires for 2006 nissan pathfinder

That depends on what you want out of your tires. Best tire…Michelin’s for ride, wear, and comfort. There are too many tire options too say whats best for you…Try tire rack dot com and research the tire satisfaction forums/comments. Aside from that you could try some nissan truck forums and see what other pathfinder owners like.

ive been looking around and trying to find a great watch. Ive found a couple that look great but just not sure. The best one ive found so far was a Casio Pathfinder PAW1300T-7V. Anybody have any suggestions? Price not an issue.

If price isn’t an issue (and it always is) go with a name brand like Rolex, Tag Heur, Breitling or many other watches that will not depreciate too much in value.
I have a 500 watch collection with all of the above brands and many cheaper watches. Strangely enough the ones I favor are the Citizen Eco Drive watches for price and build quality. They have some excellent "complications" too. I would avoid Invicta- I have 32 and they are OK when they work but if you need them fixed you’ll wait 4-6 months for Invicta to return it to you.
Croton also makes good inexpensive watches with some nice features and interesting styles.
Whatever you do don’t buy from a jewelry store. Shop online-eBay is good if you review the seller’s rating and have a return privilege.
There are many watch review sites you can find though a Google search once you narrow your choices down.
Email me if you have a specific question about a watch-I may be able to help. I also have a Rolex 18K gold President, day/date quickset I would be interested in selling and it’s like new. Just serviced by Roles (routine 5 year service-no damage).
I forgot to mention Stuhrling watches. They have some great styles, including many unique "retro pieces, and usually sell for under $500.
Check out watchgeeks.net for what collectors are saying about many watch styles.

what kind of wiring diagram, for what system?

Just bought a 2005 Nissan Pathfiinder. After 4 days, the check engine light came on. I was told it could go away after gas cycles through? I’ve also heard it can be related to the fuel gauge which often fails in this vehicle. Anyone have this experience or know what might be causing it?

you need to have a scan tool hooked up and find out what codes are present this will guide you to the next thing you need to do. Autozone or advance will read the codes off a scan tool for free to you

I want to take the running boards off my Pathfinder since they’ve rusted through and I like the look without them. There are 6 or 8 screws visible from the top of the running board and brackets underneath but I can’t figure out where to start. Help?

You will need to unbolt the brackets from your frame underneath your vehicle. You dont need to remove the running boards from the brackets. Once you do this, the running boards will come off. If my memory serves me correct, there should be 6-8 bolts holding on the brackets. This shouldnt take you too long providing the bolts are seized. Make sure you have a can of WD40 (or your lubricant of choice) handy. Soak the bolts for a few minutes prior to remove. This should help prevent seizing. Hope this helps ya out.

There should be a plug at the bottom of the "pumpkin" (differential). Sometimes a wrench is needed or an allen wrench to remove this plug. Make sure that after it is drained to reinstall the plug and service FULLY. In order to do this, you will have to remove a similar plug about half way up the "pumpkin" and fill through that port until it begins to spill out. that spill point is the full point. I hope this helps.

I am considering getting one of these in the LE V8. Trading in a 2002 Tahoe LS valued at about $5500. I have looked at virtually every car on the market and this appears to be a good one. The reviews on Edmunds and such were good and I like the look of it.

For anyone out there who has one, do you like it? Pros/Cons?
The $5500 on the Tahoe is Blue Book Trade-in Value.
