A kid gashed my wife's (2013 Pathfinder) rear drivers side door when bailing out of his car. There is no dent but he removed an eye sore of a hunk of paint down to the primer. I want the entire door panel repainted since I have had notoriously bad luck touching up metallic paint and do not want...

Pardon my ignorance here but my mechanical experience is limited to parts that can be bolted off and on from under the hood or wheel well. I know you can get to the bearing shells by removing the connection rod bolts which seems easy enough. I'm assuming the tough part is getting to connection...

Any updates here? I noticed a similar sound today.

I finally had an afternoon to tackle this. My steps are based on Goldberg's notes (THANKS!). I also spent just short of 4 hours. 1) Block the rears, Jack up the front end, & remove the front tires. 2) Disconnect battery - I didn't but probably should have. 3) Unbolt the ECU and wiring clips...

I used Chevrolet OEM Parts at Wholesale Prices for the first time for my mounts. Good price and fast delivery from Corpus to Dallas for me.

So what was your final method? Did you remove the mount with the lower bracket still connected to it? What components did you remove to get the engine lifted enough and what did you have to remove to reach the bolts?

Thanks for all the good stuff to chew on. I went ahead and took er in. New pads, they were worn and cracked, rotors ground, bled out some light chunkage. $306 out of pocket and its one less thing on my DIY list this Saturday (belt tensioner, idler pulley, and drivers-side temp actuator)...

Found one on eBay for $32 & free shipping. Thanks

I've replaced the OEM front grill and mounting bracket on our TB after my wife learned about not texting and driving the hard way (low speed thank goodness)... But I can't seem to find an original or replica gold bow tie emblem online to replace the one that is sitting on the side of the Dallas...

I'm pretty confident diving in to most maintenance items on the TB, but brakes are an area I know little about so I'm taking the truck in to a brake shop. What can I expect? I'm at 120k. I'm assuming the rotors are still good for another grinding. What do I need to look for regarding pads...

Yes, flushed and refilled rear diff with amsoil and transfer case with the GM trek stuff 25k ago. I'm sure she's not familiar with the feel of the diff locker as I've had to explain to her what is happening. However, why does the 4x4 light change from 2WD to AWD without turning the dial? Is...

Yes, I have the G80 code. What does it mean?

My 2002 was acting up where it wouldn't change mode when the switch was turned. I pulled the fuse and cycled it and it hasn't come back. Sometimes my wife complains that sometimes it switches out of 2WD but it's usually in wet conditions and she has made a tight u-turn or something. I'm...

Hey Roadie, I've got the same problem on the Drivers-side temp actuator. I've already replaced the mode actuator without removing the entire dash, but I can't remember how accessible the Drivers-side temp actuator is. Do you have a pic of that side? Will I be able to get it out and replaced...
