    01 R50 w/ cold air blowing instead of heat help. Screechy belts @ startup

    So just today my super clean 2001 R50 with 126k started to blow cold air instead of heat. I noticed that on start up for the past month when cold I'd get a brief belt screech and after a few seconds itd go away.

    So I took off the plastic shield to get to my oil filter on my recently bought pathfinder and found this. It looks like someone slid into a rock or something. How serious is this?

    Undercoating/Rust proofing R50 at 124k?

Salt state recall inspection had stage 2 fiber glass kit on one side and just an undercoat on the other. I was wondering if I should undercoat/rust proof or if that...

    To lift or not to lift my R50? Is it worth it?

    So I just picked up a 2001 Pathfinder with 124k on it and I had all the plans to get new tires, lift it etc etc but I'm wondering at this point if I should even bother with a lift or not. The truck is my daily driver and I'm a big outdoors kind of guy and would wheel it on trails, the woods...

    Reliable daily driver help

    I am in the market for a cheap daily driver 4x4 with some space. I need something that isn't prone to anything catastrophic. I have owned both XJ Cherokees and 5.0L 2nd Gen Explorers which are both bulletproof but hard to find in good shape now at a reasonable price so I am considering a Montero...

    Apparently a 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 had a 5.7?

    Because these guys are fake and don't know crap. The Zach Galifinakis looking guy has the 1997 Dodge Ram in this video with a "5.7 liter Magnum V8" huh? Sorry pal that would be a 5.9L or a 5.2L.... Ugh. Worst of all no one picked up on this? Editors? Producers? Common Sense...

    A couple garage pics

    Today I did my first oil change, checked under my fender flares (one of them anyway, the other side had one screw strip so I abandoned that project until the weather isn't gross) and got my entire body under it for the first time. The rockers, bumpers, fenders are all rust free and here are a...

    Newb with a 2004 R50 Pathfinder SE and a couple of crappy pics.

    Hello all, I'm coming to you from New England. Initially I had ventured off on a 5 hour trip to pick up what was believed to be a mint 2002 Infiniti QX4 with 111,000 miles. I asked the guy a ton of qualifying questions including rust questions. I was picked up by him in Providence and brought 20...
