#8129 of 8149 Gas smell on '97 Pathfinder by triton88 Feb 25, 2008 (8:04 am)
Hello. I haven't posted in a while but I'm glad to see this site is still up.   I have a little problem. When my Pathfinder is running or is shut off, I can really smell gas. There are no leaks. In fact I had one repaired because Nissan stopped manufacturing the one line I needed. The smell is on the driver's side of the vehicle. It's like the odor from fuel comsumption is being pushed out somewhere and sometimes into the cabin.   Thanks for your help guys.   Tony (Tnich94yahoo.com)
#8130 of 8149 recommended tire pressure by smokey75 Mar 19, 2008 (3:26 pm)
I have a 2001 Pathfinder & the recommended cold pressure is 26 psi. I seem to remember in 2002 they raised the recommended pressure... this was around the time of the whole Firestone/Ford Explorer blowouts. Anyway, I'm trying to find the Nissan recommended cold tire pressure found on the placard for 2002-2005 Pathfinders. This should be an easy one. Anyone?
#8131 of 8149 boat hauling by adolfolamela May 22, 2008 (12:03 pm)
hi,   I need to know if my 2002 SE model Pathfinder is strong enough to haul and get a 19 to 21 foot boat out of the water using the ramp, because I want to put a trailer hitch to my PF but don't know if it has the power to get the job done or will it stay burning tires on the ramp while I have the boat on the water ready to come out. If someone knows please help me. Thanks Replies to this message: shark715 (May 22, 2008 12:38 pm) adolfolamela (May 26, 2008 11:01 am)

Replying to: adolfolamela (May 22, 2008 12:03 pm) I have an '01 PF and a similar size boat. Assuming you have an automatic trans, you definitely have ample power. But you also mentioned a concern about traction. That will depend on how slippery and steep the ramp is. If you have 4WD, you can likely handle just about any conditions. If your truck is only 2WD, it will depend on how slippery and steep the ramp is, as well as the condition and tread pattern of your rear tires. You might have a problem if the ramp is extremely slippery. I have 4WD and typical all season tires, and I've never had to use 4WD when retreiving my boat at all. What sort of shape is your ramp in?

Replying to: shark715 (May 22, 2008 12:38 pm) the ramps were I live in are usually slippery since I have to get the SUV's tires to touch water in order to get the boat, some of them are steep but it should be normal. I guess that if yours could without 4wd, mine should be able to handle it. thanks for the help.

#8135 of 8149 Alterations to a '99 Pathfinder by adrianroth Jul 09, 2008 (2:58 pm)
The owners manual for my 1999 Pathfinder SE specifies that I must use high test gasoline (at least 91 octane). Therefore, I have two questions.   1. Is there a way to retune the engine so that I can use regular gasoline? (Or does someone make a computer replacement that does this?)   2. Does anyone have information about replacing my gasoline engine with a diesel? (Or is this too difficult/expensive?)   Thanks Replies to this message: shark715 (Jul 09, 2008 4:12 pm)

Replying to: adrianroth (Jul 09, 2008 2:58 pm) Your engine can safely operate on regular grade fuel without hurting it because your engine knock sensor will cause your engine computer to retard the engine timing. However, your fuel usage per mile will increase, and it pretty much offsets the savings in the fuel price per gallon, besides not allowing the engine to develop its full power potential. Several of us active on this thread tried it years ago and each saw similar results. The cost of replacing your engine with a diesel would be far more than you would ever save on the cost of fuel.
#8137 of 8149 08 Pathfinder by stmss Jul 18, 2008 (3:44 pm)
I am looking at an new 08 Pathfinder (V8). Two things concern me.   The first is that I have seen some reviews that there is transmission problems at 40 mph or so. Most refer to the the V6. Does anyone know if this problem is resolved or limited to V6 model? I did not notice it on my test drive.   Second item is handling over potholes. I noticed in the test drive the truck gets out of sorts when the front wheel hits pothole or any other bump in the road. Shakes quite a bit. Is this normal for this model?   Thanks for your help.
#8138 of 8149 digital clock & snow tires by pathalogical Dec 01, 2008 (4:27 pm)
I notice that my dash clock is always 2 minutes ahead, no matter how many times I adjust the clock. It's an 03 PF, any one else happen to notice their clocks ? No big deal though...at least I won't be late !!!   In Quebec, snow tires are now mandatory. Just wondering about the PFs in Quebec 1) Have you used snow tires before the new law and 2) If you bought snow tires for the first time because of the new law, what did you purchase ? I'm wondering just in case Ontario starts getting the same idea !   Thanks
