Dude... I need one of those outfitted with those SUPER low range gears so I can choose between that and my R50 pathfinder when I hit the trails :D Need a set of those gears for the R50 while I'm at it. While its geared pretty good from the factory it would be nice to have a little more crawl control on some of the trails I do, seeing that it is a 5-spd. Nothing better than leading the way with jeeps that LOOK far more capable bringing up the rear and needing spotters. Those are the moments I live for HAHA
Rest in peace Jessi I grew up watching you Sunday mornings and everything you did was an inspiration to me. I'm a gearhead because of PowerBlock. Have fun laying rubber in the sky
Took my lisance on a 90 pathfinder. Had 7 of them over the years. 3in calmini and 4 in body, 35s. Swapped blown trans, t cases, engines. Dunked a couple, frying the computers lol. Lots of fun with them. R.I.P jessi
I'm glad that 14 min. in, they finally said the only thing a new long block saves you, "is time". Bottom line, it is always cheaper and mostly better to rebuild at .20 over or so, and have a practically brand new engine. If you trust the shop you go to? I did, and it was always better to have the shop tell me if it was worth it to fix what I had, or just buy a short block.
I had an 94 rodeo and took the 3.2 and made a 3.7 stroker had the 3.5 crank forged rods i had made and custom pistons that were over stock. Was a fun little toy for the time I had it.
Wow, so some else has discovered the secret of the Sun Flower Seed, I love them for what they have done for me. I'm now on a daily schedule, like never before.
I had one of those POS Nissan pathfinders it was a manual and was my wife's. In a year I had to replace the timing belt, the water pump, one of the calipers seized and when I went to fix it I had to replace another caliper too and do all the brake rotors and pads. It also had this ticking noise up in one of the heads from about a little over idle to about 3000rpm, apparently it was a common problem with them and they recalled a bunch of them but they didn't recall my year so I got screwed! However we did drive it for over a year before we sold it with that ticking noise, we couldn't ever figure out what it was as far as I know it was something to do with the lifter and rod, but the whole year we drove it with the ticking noise it ran fine and surprisingly the engine never had any issues broke down.
Damn bad luck. Ive ran trails. Hit puddles i shouldnt. Jumped it and havent had any problems but electrical…. Alternator,relays, and whatnot. But shes been a beast.
Same here, mine is a 94 4x4, that tick you are talking about is the lifters going away, if you know VG30's and you got a rod knock, 9 out of 10 times someone ran it without oil, normally with pathfinders you all the sensors fail to the point they become undriveble and people get annoyed and they junk them, I got mine from my grandpa after sitting for 4 years because he didn't wanted to fix it.
For anyone who ever needs it you can get these motors the VG30 and VG33 shipped in from overseas for less than 1000 dollars and they only have 50 or 60000 miles just Google JDM motors
I run the car maintenance RU-vid channel in Korea. I'm always learning such a great ideas on your channel. I hope we have a chance to be together. Thank you.
When I was a stupid kid I thought Jessi was kinda ditsy eye candy. I've grown up and learned a lot about automotive, (and life.) As a parts tech, Most of my teachers were women. Looking back at these, I know Jessi knew her stuff and was passionate. She was happy and fun loving too, as a child that was all I saw. All I can do is make sure it doesn't take my kids 20 years to learn you can do what ever you want and still be you.
