   I DROVE SOMEWHERE, PARKED THE TRUCK AND I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING AND SAW SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I ASKED SOMEONE IF THEY HAD A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND THEY DID. I OPENED THE HOOD AND THE GUY USED THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT THE FIRE OUT. IT STARTED IN THE WIRING HARNESS UNDER THE HOOD. MORE SPECIFICALLY, THERE IS A RESISTOR AND A CAPACITOR COMING OUT OF THE WIRING HARNESS (NEAR THE DRIVER-SIDE HEADLIGHT / DISTRIBUTOR COIL AREA) THAT WAS ON FIRE. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY NISSAN TRUCKS HAVE THIS DEFECT, BUT THAT'S FOR NISSAN AND THE GOVERNMENT TO KEEP TRACK OF. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW, HOW MANY ELECTRICAL / WIRING HARNESS FIRES HAVE TO OCCUR BEFORE A RECALL IS IN ORDER? *JB

THIS IS A WELL CARED FOR VEHICLE IN LIKE NEW CONDITION. PHOTOS OF THE REPLACEMENT OF THE MANIFOLD BOLTS AT THE DEALERSHIP ARE AVAILABLE AND CAN BE PROVIDED IN PDF FORMAT FOR YOUR VIEWING. A RANDOM CHECK OF ANY DEALERSHIP RECORDS WILL ADDITIONALLY HELP IDENTIFY THIS PROBLEM WITH THESE MODELS.

    RIGHT SIDE OF EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAKING. TWO STUDS BROKEN OFF. CHECKED RIGHT SIDE AND FOUND ONE BROKEN STUD, NOT LEAKING YET. I TALKED WITH TWO DEALERS, A PARTS DISTRIBUTOR, AND A OWNER OF A 1989 PATHFINDER (SAME ENGINE) AND THEY ALL CONFIRMED THAT THIS WAS A TYPICAL PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE. I HAD THE EXHAUSET GASKETS AND STUDS REPLACED ON BOTH SIDES. ($ 856.75) THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND THERE IS NO REASON WHY THE EXHAUST STUDS SHOULD BE FAILING AT ONLY 70,000+ MILES. THE SERVICE WRITER INFORMED ME THAT THEY REPLACED THE STUDS WITH "NEW & IMPROVED" STUDS. THIS WOULD INDICATE TO ME THAT THE ORIGINAL DESIGN WAS FAULTY. NEITHER DEALER CONTACTED MENTIONED ANY FACTORY ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE. THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ON THIS ITEM ((FC0009202)
