This book was outstanding in helping me repair my 1995 Pathfinder. I had several problems with my SUV and with the use of this book it helped me track down all cures and get it up and running. I also used it to replace wore belts, which I had no idea how to do. Thanks a million for providing such great service!

This book is terrible, its like a detailed version of the owners manual. I bought it troubleshoot and repair a starter problem. not trouble shooting trees, no help at all, no exploded diagrams. Not at all like the chilton manuals of the past. It'll be the last chilton I buy.

I had problems with my water hoses. Who ever heard of a Chiltons book that didn't have a chapter on cooling systems? I was expecting to see step by step for a water pump change. NOT.

Book is NOT worth the money.

The information in the book is difficult to read because of the poor printing and cheap paper. Data tables are almost unreadable and the B&W pictures are fuzzy. The Haynes publication has all the same information pinted clearly with good pictures.

I bought this book and promptly returned it after it did nothing to help me troubleshoot 2 different electrical problems. It provides partial wiring diagrams but does not give the specs on the various sending units so you can hook up a multitester and see whether or not they work.

I was having trouble removing the instrument panel and the diagram did not even match my pickup -- it was for a much older model. If you want to know how to check your oil or belt tension, this book is for you. If you want to do any complicated repairs, look elsewhere.

This book is more or less useless. Several times while trying to accomplish repairs I've found this book to have serious ommissions. It's good as a basic reference if you can't find the owners manual but it lacks as a repair manual. I expected more from Chilton.

Having bought the Pontiac Firebird guide a few months earlier, I had high expectations on this book. I got it hoping it wouls help me with my Pathfinder. From the beggining I knew this book was meant for the US and Canada versions of the car. My car version is the Japanese.

I tried looking for info on the Limited Slip Differential system, and didn't find anything. I got some info on brakes, but the pictures are so poorly printed, so I rather serviced them all on my own.

Chilton's manual on the Nissan Pickup and Pathfinder maintains the tradition of excellence. The coverage is comprehensive and logically well organised. The procedures are well illustrated even to the novice and detailed instructions guide the do it yourself mechanic even through delicate tasks. As a Pathfdinder owner myself this book is definitely must have.
