doing something good for people without adding clickbait to the thumbnail or title. class act. thats why i keep coming back for every upload, and will always support Alex and the LSC brand.
To be fair (unfair?) the thumbnail is clickbait. 'FIXED FOR FREE' except he bought a bunch of gaskets, plugs, crank and cam position sensors, etc. That stuff wasn't free.
LSC is one of the few channels left on UA-cam that does ACTUAL car guy stuff for regular joes. So many of these buy and rebuild channels are doing well financially and just go to get super and hyper cars and blow $50k on parts for the rebuild. It’s cool to watch but unrealistic for most guys. These type of finds and fixes are something most people could do themselves🙏love this content. Keep it simple
Exactly, I don’t even watch super/hypercar shows anymore, what’s the point. I wouldn’t own a Ferrari if I could afford it, maintenance costs are obscene!
I understand that kid, he was just overwhelmed. Me at 16 was not that different. That was a good thing you did, and I bet he will pass it on one day. And that , folks, is how the world is supposed to work, we all help each other up, and then we all get to live a good life.
Even the mom seemed kind of blase` about it, though, too. Still a good deed done and I'm sure the kid will love it, but also he's 16 and I remember being 16. Being enthusiastic about anything was 'uncool'.
@@WhiteG60Some people just take these things in differently. Imagine if you were 16 and had a camera on you. You'd be like "every move I make must be carefully calculated so I don't get made fun of at school" at least that's definitely how it was for me lol
@@eptdy Yeah no doubt. Like I said, I remember being 16. Just, like i said, even the mom was like 'Oh, yeah its cool i guess.' I'm not hard up for money but if someone gave my kid a free car, I'd still be all over myself to thank them profusely and be a little more enthusiastic about it. "Thank you so much, this is so unexpected but will really help us out. It's so appreciated and a wonderful gesture of kindness. Are you sure we can't give you anything for it? We don't even know you and you're doing this for my son. It's so wonderful of you.' That kind of thing. Especially knowing that the person that did it earns their living making compelling videos.This is nothing against Alex (he did an awesome thing for a kid he had never even met) or the kid or even the mom. Just really an observation.
Did a similar thing back in 1988- A young kid I knew was hard worker- he used to take a bus to my shop and do various jobs. His family didn't have a lot, so he was on his own to get a vehicle. I had a Toyota SR 5 pickup that I had used a lot and it was really reliable. So we drew a picture of the truck and then cut it into pieces like a puzzle and on each puzzle piece was a job. Each time he completed a job he got to pin the piece on the cork board and when the truck picture was all pinned up and put together we gave him the keys and the title and had a little party. He later went on to be a very successful concrete contractor.
There's a reason Alex has 1.24m subscribers and 250k views in 24hours - The best wrenching channel on YT with the most humour and genuine feel to the content. Thank you LSC from the UK
You could tell he was very nervous about the camera being pointed at him which is why he didn’t seem very excited but I can GUARANTEE when he got alone with HiS OWN truck he was probably the happiest person on Earth! This was such an awesome thing to do for him!
Glad I could help! Thats not an original radiator. The factory radiators have a silver sticker with the part # on the top to the right of the cap. The rpms cutting out while driving and long cranking times are classic indicators of bad crank/cam sensors. Another thing I do on these is bump the idle up about 50 rpms. Do this with a scan tool. A lot of these will get a "rough" idle especially with the AC on at a traffic light and this gets rid of it. Another weird thing is 05 was the only year that they had an audible alarm for the TPMS system. Also 05-06 years were the only ones with a working oil pressure gauge. In 07 they switched it to a dummy gauge and it just stays in the middle all the time unless it drops below 14 psi then it goes to zero and the oil light will come on.
@@jaedonhaskins9917 I bought a red exterra from my brother many years back all I had to do to it was I think some blower behind the glove box, can't remember if it was heater or whatever. I absolutely loved that thing it was stolen and involved in running over a police officer... I didn't want it after that. Still had the first aid kit in the back and everything. I hated how the roof rack thing blocked the sunroof.
You seem to be well versed in Nissans! My best friends father was a Datsun/Nissan Master tech and they always had some cool cars like the original Pathfinder that was a converted 4×4 720 extended cab with a converson bed cover that made it a 5 passenger SUV. Haven't seen one in 30 years.
It’s great to see what you have done gifting the SUV to that kid … it really shows the type of person you are and that’s why we love watching your content… god bless you and your family bro 🤘
2005-2007 pathfinder had a rear entertainment system optional. That spot on the headliner is where the drop down dvd player was located. It was a factory Nissan option and you can find replacements online easily.
What an absolute unselfish geniually amazing thing to do. It's refreshing that In today's world this happens. Your a breath of fresh air. Major props. A lifetime fan made here in the uk.
Thanks! I am in Michigan but back in 2007 bought a brand new Xterra loved it so much in 2009 bought a brand new Pathfinder SE. We still kept the Xterra & had both. The Pathfinder we traded it in 2022 had 103k miles in 13-Years of ownership for a brand new Highlander. From beginning till end only routine maintenance at our local Nissan dealer: Oil Change, Tires & brakes. I sold the Xterra in 2014 had like 90k miles & 0 issues just Maintenance. These are solid rigs built in Tennessee The new Tacoma's are junk & the new Frontier is gem n/a V6.
Mad props to Alex and OJ for helping that kid out. 👏 That kid is making the story almost all car enthusiasts say.. Want a job at a shop that ain't hiring, maybe annoyed yall till he got a job. Freaking walked to work. I don't mean none of this comment in a mean or demeaning way. He put his pride to the side to work at that shop. How many 16 year olds would walk to a job?? That teen is writing his "how I got started in cars" story right now. Now, yall are a part of his best automotive memories . Remember when yall started and show him what yall wish somebody would have done for you.
Really appreciate how you still work on stuff that just about anyone can afford. Neat to dream about finding a crazy deal at an auction and fixing it up, even more fun to watch you do it! Not many YT'ers have a McLaren in the garage at home and will put out an hour long video on a $500 Pathfinder.
OJ and Alex, you're a class act. OJ for going out of his way and employing this kid even though there wasn't an open position. And Alex for responding to the call and finding the perfect vehicle for a 16 year old to start his wrenching career on. Somewhere down the track this kid will be fixing vehicles like a pro and paying it forward to those who need a little help.
I can immediately tell as a father of a child with autism that this kiddo is autistic. Kids on the spectrum are naturally so sweet and loving and express themselves differently. I've always said that Autism isn't a disability but a more of a superpower! Those with it do have some sensory issues aswell as dealing with discomfort and anxiety when faced with changes in routine or unknown or unfamiliar situations. Still those are issues that you become custom to adapting to. LikreI said before those with Autism love harder, smile more, show 10x more effection, are joyful and overall are very very intelligent. Every person on the spectrum is different. Some may not speak, some may not be able to handle loud noises ect. Still all those gentle loving amazing human superpowers stay the same within all of them!!
God bless your family and every human being on this planet. This was a great gesture from Alex as always. This kiddo and his family will appreciate this gift as much as we did watching this video. Cheers
Hello, i am the "child" in this video, I do not have Autism, or anything of the sort, I have social anxiety, and I also have stage fright. Also I don't show as much excitement as much as others. Lastly I was sick, I was feeling a bit lightheaded that day, so naturally pretty tired. Thanks for Look out, but I do not have anything of the sort.
These videos are why we support LSC and why some of us started watching your channel back in the day when you gave the Mercedes away to the veteran, glad to see you back to doing this. Time to buy more merch to support the channel further.
Alex, your channel name couldn't be more perfect with legit street cars, because you are one of the most legit human beings out there, given that you tend to focus on things that you enjoy rather than chasing the popular cars for content. While more importantly, being humble and generous, with the giveaways and food/toy drives.
My mom bought one of these back in 2006. My favorite vehicle my mom’s ever owned. We took it on many family road trips across the country. Was a great car for us and had a little pep to it when you floored it!
28:30 quick tip about the pathfinder glovebox, you can squeeze the sides near the catches to release them past the trim to make it drop down. Don't need to unscrew the whole trim to get to the cabin filter. Well that's for the right hand drive model so I presume it's the same here.
This has been one of my favorite channels for a while now, but it’s definitely at the top of my list after this episode. Alex, good on you for helping this kid out. You never know how kindness like this will change someone’s life.
13:27 Hey Alex! Those stamps on the radiator end tank are inserts in the mold used to make it. Ithe first notes the material: Nylon 6-6 with 30% glass fiber content. The rest just gives the mold operator three inserts that they twist with a small screwdriver to indicate the day, month, and year it was run! I'd read it as April 9th, 2006. Hope it helps!
Another big issue with the 4.0 Nissans are the Oil Pressure Switch. Easy fix. Oil leaking from Valve Covers for sure. Cam and Crank sensors are probably covered in Oil. Also they may have sent it there because it needs Cats. Nissan decided to put 4 Cats on these things. They're like $400 each.
@lenicoleman6680 going down to a single cat won't work, going down to 2 is, some aftermarket universal ones. Or if not in a state with emissions delete them all entirely. Nissan cats suck, very common issue.
Yea, I’ve replaced my cats 3 times on my 05’ Xterra. I gutted them after the 3rd time. I won’t have to worry about them breaking apart and destroying the engine.
I just want to say that I have been watching you a long time and you remind me of someone I like. It has been bothering me for a while but I have figured it out. It's me. We don't look alike but I think a lot like you. Your positivity absolutely makes me smile. Thank you for your kick ass content. I feel you on the snow thing.
Alex I don’t even know what to say. Giving that truck to that young man almost made my eyes sweat. Lol I feel like a better person just watching your channel. God bless you and your family my man. Merry Christmas and Happy Thanksgiving to all the LSC family. Also to OJ and Fluid Motor Union for giving that boy a job and encouraging him in the right direction. This is the type of behavior we need more of these days.
Hi Alex! Michael from north of Sweden here. We got our first snow last week, under 30h we got 75cm snow, that's 29.5 inch. Pretty normal short snowstorm here, what's hard is to stay awake all the time it takes to plow our roads. Love to see you spoil us with some good entertainment in the middle of the week. Blessing to you and your family.
What a nice thing to do for that young man. That is a lifetime memory. Most of us have a story on how hard getting our first was. You and OJ are great guys.
Dude you brought a tear to this old guys eyes. No doubt you found the right owner for this car. Guaranteed you have changed this young man's life. What a Christmas gift. Keep posting videos, you have the best car vids on youtube. Well done!
And this is why I love this channel. Alex does all the work himself, while teaching his viewers in the process, he’s positive, genuine and extremely generous. Keep up the amazing content!
That kid looked ungrateful but probably didn't know how to react? Was the worst reaction for getting given a free car ever. It's still kind what Alex did, but this kid?
@ I think he is just an awkward teen and was in shock and didn’t know what to do. I think he is only 16, and eager to work. That in itself shows he’s a decent young man. He’s a future motorhead, bro give the kid a break.
@SSO1025RET by your last sentence, I can tell what type of person you are. I am just saying, I don't have anything against that kid but just the overall reaction. It could also he scripted? It looked It. Bro, just calm down.
Im not a Nissan bloke but over the last few years I've acquired 2 of them, Both V6's :-) An 03 VG30 Navara (D22 Frontier) twin cab ute (Pickup) and a 95 Maxima VQ30, Both Autos and both high mileage and im darned impressed with both of them especially the A32 Maxima. My 4x4 is a 97 TDi Landrover Discovery (I had an ML but she got too old) and im in the middle of replacing the engine but the Pathfinder has got me thinking about something for the Wife to buzz around in.... They do seem well engineered and comfy!
What an anxious kid. You came through RIGHT when the universe said he needed you. The universe was speaking to you all to come together at just the right time for this kid. Youre one helluva guy, and the universe needs more guys like you.
Alex you are such a great fella , that young lad you helped is so lucky to have people like you around him . Best technical youtube channel by a mile .
Awesome, simply awesome. New a kid like him back in high school, wanted to get into automotive repair and became a wizard at it. I applaud what you and O.J. did for this kid and what could come from it.
when changing the cabin air filter take a blower and blow up and any leaves still in there they will come out otherwise all those leaves stuck in the intake will put that garbage right back into the filters
Every time I watch a LSC video Alex just keeps on producing "Car" videos that are so much more. The interactions with people are just the best and Alex is obviously genuinely interested in helping people and making them happy. These videos are so much more than Auto repair videos and I love tuning into them each week.
If I was based in the USA and Alex needed help on a project, I'd be instantly available to help just because of how kind hearted he is. Keep it up Alex! Much respect.
respect for the kind hearted giveaway of that truck I thought you were planning on keeping it for a winter beater. but you ended up giving away the truck. You have a good heart Alex. This is the second time. I'm seeing you giving away a car. first car was the best Jeep respect man god bless you
I appreciate you and oj for looking out for a dedicated individual seeking their first vehicle. There aren’t too many kids that can afford the first cars and anyone capable of helping is always a beautiful gesture. To all kids out there. Be safe on the road and remember driving is a privilege.
Absolutely outstanding @Alex and @OJ .. Before I retired from Law Enforcement.. My favorite thing I implemented in my department was “Shop with a Cop”.. To me, it was the MOST rewarding feeling in all my 23 years. This young man will remember this for the rest of his life. Stay blessed guys!!
I have the very same vehicle ,bought used from the third owner , have it for five years now , approaching 180,000 miles ,once again maintaining a vehicle is the key for a long lasting vehicle !
I can tell you I own a 2019 Frontier and I get the flashing airbag warning light all the time. I get the dealer to clear it and it inevitably comes back. I just ride with it. Apparently their electronics aren't the best. I also had to unhook the battery before because all the dash lights went out and that fixed it. Apparently it's common.
Mr LGC , I’ve been casually watching you over the couple of years and it just occurred to me that not only you’re a genuinely good bloke you are teaching me PATIENCE . So Thank You Cheers Greg D Western Australia 😊
Just a quick tip. Those cam sensor connectirs are called posi lock connectirs and us Nissan techs hate them. So spray wd-40 or penetrating oil in them to help lube the spring and they come off much easier. Also connect the cam sensor to harness and if the connectir end doesnt click out or pop out. Tap the end with a screw driver to get it to lock. The connectoe isnt locked on the sensor unless its popped out. Then put the cam sensor in the head, with the connector already attached. 👍🏾👍🏾
@@Truly_agape lol well it made me laugh. Congrats on getting that car. I would have loved that as my first car. Being from the UK, many other of the UK viewers will confirm that if a 17/18 year old owned that, we would be charged around £8,000 (UK pounds) a year for insurance. Lol I'll let you do the conversion.
Had the same one but in white and only rear drive. Used it for a couple years then sold it to a friend who really needs a car for his lady. It has good power. I just purchased an 04 Frontier from my brother. He put a motor for the customer who just abandoned it after it's fixed.
I watch a lot of car youtube, but nothing scratches the itch or lights me up more than seeing a new video notification for LSC. Thank you Alex for continuing to deliver genuine content for the everyday guy!
My guess with the cabin filter: engineers wanted to use easily remembered numbers for the year intervals, usually in factors of 10 or 5. And kilometers are more popular in everywhere but the US, so that would be the main standard. So it's easier to remember 15k or 20k kilometer change interval, rather than the odd number it would be if the tried to use the same figure for both miles and kilometers.
Alex, that right there is peak car 'community'. Passing on the passion for cars. That kid will NEVER forget that and I guarantee he'll look for every chance he can get to help others within the community once he grows up. Great stuff. Much love from Australia mate! 🇦🇺
Just seeing a 16 year old kid these days with the ambition and follow through to get their drivers license gives me hope. Would be great to see David go to tech school and eventually apprentice with O.J. Love what you do for the future of the industry, as well as just our younger gerneration in general Alex 🙏🙏🙏
I had a 2001 pathfinder for years until about 2016 & I loved it. the v-6 was smooth and punchy. It was the only SUV that felt like driving a nice sedan. Not sure about a 2005 but mine was not sugglish. I'd definitely want to check that out.
This channel should be on Motortrend or any national platforms because Alex just has that character we all appreciate. Been watching for years and his patience and attitude has never waivered in any way. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone 🦃
I've done the crank position sensor on my Pathfinder before. You can turn the wheel all the way to the left and remove the liner. The wheel can stay on and you can replace it on the ground. Not too bad a job even if you don't have a lot of tools. You need need a 10mm and an extension.
That kid who go the car really I could tell is going to be a great mechanic. He seems like a great kid and has a very humble and chill vibe which will carry him very far with the right folks like you guys to guide him a little. Thank you so much for giving him that car. Man that brought a tear to my eye because that was definitely the most wholesome thing I’ve seen in a while. He will never forget that. God bless you brother. Now let’s just hope he doesn’t get a ticket for driving too fast lol. ❤
That kid looked ungrateful but probably didn't know how to react? Was the worst reaction for getting given a free car ever. It's still kind what Alex did, but this kid?
I love this generation of pathfinder. Always wanted one for an offroad build. My uncle had one new in 2008 with all the options including the Nav with the backup cam, the DVD player in the second row (which I think is what you have that hole for) and the leather heated seats. It died pretty early with the milkshake of death at 120K miles. The dealership advised at the time it was purchased that the fluid was for the lifetime of the vehicle, so the trans fluid was never changed and the strawberry milkshake killed the tranny by the time he noticed. I still plan on getting one, one day. Nissan had some build quality during this era
I am pretty sure you have heard this before… but JUST in case… When installing spark plugs - using a fuel or vacuum line that fits over the end - allows for flexibility - and wont strip threads as it will allow it to slip before applying too much torque🙂 Super helpful especially in hard to reach places. You’re welcome! ✅😎
Hey, for spark plugs that are down deep in the head like that, I have always used a long piece of rubber hose that fits tight over the plug to screw them in and out and it also makes it very easy to get the plug up and down out of the hole without damage or dropping it. Just something to keep in mind.
If you were wondering about the space in the headliner, I believe that was an option spot for a rear DVD player screen, check the center console, at one time there may have been a DVD player in there or someone was attempting to add one to the truck.

These are solid rigs built in Tennessee The new Tacoma's are junk & the new Frontier is gem n/a V6.
Big thumbs up for Alex and OJ helping out that young man.
Mad props to Alex and OJ for helping that kid out. 👏 That kid is making the story almost all car enthusiasts say.. Want a job at a shop that ain't hiring, maybe annoyed yall till he got a job. Freaking walked to work. I don't mean none of this comment in a mean or demeaning way. He put his pride to the side to work at that shop. How many 16 year olds would walk to a job?? That teen is writing his "how I got started in cars" story right now. Now, yall are a part of his best automotive memories . Remember when yall started and show him what yall wish somebody would have done for you.
Really appreciate how you still work on stuff that just about anyone can afford. Neat to dream about finding a crazy deal at an auction and fixing it up, even more fun to watch you do it! Not many YT'ers have a McLaren in the garage at home and will put out an hour long video on a $500 Pathfinder.
OJ and Alex, you're a class act. OJ for going out of his way and employing this kid even though there wasn't an open position. And Alex for responding to the call and finding the perfect vehicle for a 16 year old to start his wrenching career on.
Somewhere down the track this kid will be fixing vehicles like a pro and paying it forward to those who need a little help.
I can immediately tell as a father of a child with autism that this kiddo is autistic. Kids on the spectrum are naturally so sweet and loving and express themselves differently.
I've always said that Autism isn't a disability but a more of a superpower! Those with it do have some sensory issues aswell as dealing with discomfort and anxiety when faced with changes in routine or unknown or unfamiliar situations. Still those are issues that you become custom to adapting to. LikreI said before those with Autism love harder, smile more, show 10x more effection, are joyful and overall are very very intelligent.
Every person on the spectrum is different. Some may not speak, some may not be able to handle loud noises ect. Still all those gentle loving amazing human superpowers stay the same within all of them!!
God bless your family and every human being on this planet. This was a great gesture from Alex as always. This kiddo and his family will appreciate this gift as much as we did watching this video. Cheers
My son has autism also. I also am pretty sure he is on the spectrum
well done sir.... thank you
Hello, i am the "child" in this video, I do not have Autism, or anything of the sort, I have social anxiety, and I also have stage fright. Also I don't show as much excitement as much as others. Lastly I was sick, I was feeling a bit lightheaded that day, so naturally pretty tired. Thanks for Look out, but I do not have anything of the sort.
@@BradRandalson-ce7yx As the "child" in the video, I am not on the spectrum in any sort. Thanks for looking out.
These videos are why we support LSC and why some of us started watching your channel back in the day when you gave the Mercedes away to the veteran, glad to see you back to doing this. Time to buy more merch to support the channel further.
I was already a fan, but this made me smile. Thanks!
Appreciate the support!
Alex, your channel name couldn't be more perfect with legit street cars, because you are one of the most legit human beings out there, given that you tend to focus on things that you enjoy rather than chasing the popular cars for content. While more importantly, being humble and generous, with the giveaways and food/toy drives.
He looks like a decent kid, so I think he deserves a gift like that. Drive safe. Congratulations for giving him a gift like that.
What a great opportunity for this guy. Thank you, Alex, for sharing the love. Love your videos. Keep them coming.
Thank you! Will do!
A new Legit Street Cars vid on a weekday!!! HELL YEAH!!! 🙌🏻
My mom bought one of these back in 2006. My favorite vehicle my mom’s ever owned. We took it on many family road trips across the country. Was a great car for us and had a little pep to it when you floored it!
28:30 quick tip about the pathfinder glovebox, you can squeeze the sides near the catches to release them past the trim to make it drop down. Don't need to unscrew the whole trim to get to the cabin filter. Well that's for the right hand drive model so I presume it's the same here.
This has been one of my favorite channels for a while now, but it’s definitely at the top of my list after this episode. Alex, good on you for helping this kid out. You never know how kindness like this will change someone’s life.
Good episode. Generosity is a virtue. Thanks!
Thanks brother! I appreciate the support!
Happy Thanksgiving! What are you guys doing this week?
Watching LSC!🍻
Ive got a live performance at a hip hop concert tonight in Boston‼️ wish me luck
I'm on day 27 of working, im about to take a whole ass week off lol
Eating 😭
Lake Nona turkey trot at 7am ugh, then eating!
13:27 Hey Alex! Those stamps on the radiator end tank are inserts in the mold used to make it. Ithe first notes the material: Nylon 6-6 with 30% glass fiber content. The rest just gives the mold operator three inserts that they twist with a small screwdriver to indicate the day, month, and year it was run! I'd read it as April 9th, 2006. Hope it helps!
Cool, I only got the April 09, 2006, part but didn't understand the plastic type part.
I'd say you're spot on with the date.
Another big issue with the 4.0 Nissans are the Oil Pressure Switch. Easy fix. Oil leaking from Valve Covers for sure. Cam and Crank sensors are probably covered in Oil. Also they may have sent it there because it needs Cats. Nissan decided to put 4 Cats on these things. They're like $400 each.
Can you delete down to just one cat and add some simulators?
@lenicoleman6680 going down to a single cat won't work, going down to 2 is, some aftermarket universal ones. Or if not in a state with emissions delete them all entirely.
Nissan cats suck, very common issue.
Yea, I’ve replaced my cats 3 times on my 05’ Xterra. I gutted them after the 3rd time. I won’t have to worry about them breaking apart and destroying the engine.
Also in the next 10k-15k miles those rings are going to be shot and burning a qt every 600 miles.
@ Yep. Thankfully I have not experienced any oil consumption. Oil stays full till I change it every 5k. Mine has 210,000 miles.
I just want to say that I have been watching you a long time and you remind me of someone I like. It has been bothering me for a while but I have figured it out. It's me. We don't look alike but I think a lot like you. Your positivity absolutely makes me smile. Thank you for your kick ass content. I feel you on the snow thing.
Dude, I'm at home sick right now, and this literally made me feel better. I've been a subscriber for years now. You're the man, Alex!
Alex I don’t even know what to say. Giving that truck to that young man almost made my eyes sweat. Lol I feel like a better person just watching your channel. God bless you and your family my man. Merry Christmas and Happy Thanksgiving to all the LSC family. Also to OJ and Fluid Motor Union for giving that boy a job and encouraging him in the right direction. This is the type of behavior we need more of these days.
I’m from the Chicago suburbs, and what a beautiful thing you do for are younger generation. Thank you
Hi Alex! Michael from north of Sweden here. We got our first snow last week, under 30h we got 75cm snow, that's 29.5 inch. Pretty normal short snowstorm here, what's hard is to stay awake all the time it takes to plow our roads. Love to see you spoil us with some good entertainment in the middle of the week. Blessing to you and your family.
Been a big fan of swedish death metal since my teens, would love to move somewhere up there from germany. Hail odin and enjoy the snowy times.
What a nice thing to do for that young man. That is a lifetime memory. Most of us have a story on how hard getting our first was. You and OJ are great guys.
I have one! 06’ / 270k miles and it’s been the most reliable car but they need a lot of maintenance but the engine and transmission are bulletproof!
This is precisely where this Pathfinder belongs. Legit dreams come true
As much as I love the 80-90s stuff, it just as entertaining to watch an average auction vehicle get a second life given it’s more relatable for many.
Thankful for a mid-week LSC 🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃 And grateful your family is kind enough to share you on this busy holiday week.
Dude you brought a tear to this old guys eyes. No doubt you found the right owner for this car. Guaranteed you have changed this young man's life. What a Christmas gift. Keep posting videos, you have the best car vids on youtube. Well done!
And this is why I love this channel. Alex does all the work himself, while teaching his viewers in the process, he’s positive, genuine and extremely generous.
Keep up the amazing content!
That was real nice of you, Alex. I hope this young man appreciates it, which I think he does and will be a fellow motorhead for a long time.
That kid looked ungrateful but probably didn't know how to react? Was the worst reaction for getting given a free car ever. It's still kind what Alex did, but this kid?
@
I think he is just an awkward teen and was in shock and didn’t know what to do. I think he is only 16, and eager to work. That in itself shows he’s a decent young man. He’s a future motorhead, bro give the kid a break.
@SSO1025RET by your last sentence, I can tell what type of person you are. I am just saying, I don't have anything against that kid but just the overall reaction. It could also he scripted? It looked It. Bro, just calm down.
Im not a Nissan bloke but over the last few years I've acquired 2 of them, Both V6's :-)
An 03 VG30 Navara (D22 Frontier) twin cab ute (Pickup) and a 95 Maxima VQ30, Both Autos and both high mileage and im darned impressed with both of them especially the A32 Maxima.
My 4x4 is a 97 TDi Landrover Discovery (I had an ML but she got too old) and im in the middle of replacing the engine but the Pathfinder has got me thinking about something for the Wife to buzz around in.... They do seem well engineered and comfy!
I bought an 03 Pathfinder aboutt 4 days ago for 1800 USD, 247k miles and she's mint, love the thing.
What an anxious kid. You came through RIGHT when the universe said he needed you. The universe was speaking to you all to come together at just the right time for this kid. Youre one helluva guy, and the universe needs more guys like you.
Alex you are such a great fella , that young lad you helped is so lucky to have people like you around him .
Best technical youtube channel by a mile .
Man, that is so cool of you! Stoked for the kid 👏
Awesome, simply awesome. New a kid like him back in high school, wanted to get into automotive repair and became a wizard at it. I applaud what you and O.J. did for this kid and what could come from it.
when changing the cabin air filter take a blower and blow up and any leaves still in there they will come out otherwise all those leaves stuck in the intake will put that garbage right back into the filters
Every time I watch a LSC video Alex just keeps on producing "Car" videos that are so much more. The interactions with people are just the best and Alex is obviously genuinely interested in helping people and making them happy. These videos are so much more than Auto repair videos and I love tuning into them each week.
If I was based in the USA and Alex needed help on a project, I'd be instantly available to help just because of how kind hearted he is. Keep it up Alex! Much respect.
respect for the kind hearted giveaway of that truck I thought you were planning on keeping it for a winter beater. but you ended up giving away the truck. You have a good heart Alex. This is the second time. I'm seeing you giving away a car. first car was the best Jeep respect man god bless you
Mid week video? Best Wednesday ever
2 in a week, you are 2 kind Brother. We Love you Alex, Love from Denmark. Now go make America great again, Buddy
I wonder if he'll sneak into a beauty pageant dressing for teenage girls or pay a prostitute for NOT doing her😮.
..?
I appreciate you and oj for looking out for a dedicated individual seeking their first vehicle. There aren’t too many kids that can afford the first cars and anyone capable of helping is always a beautiful gesture. To all kids out there. Be safe on the road and remember driving is a privilege.
Love to see the repair and handing off to someone who needs it.
That was such a crazy find. Congrats Alex I'm jealous, I need to find a deal like this for my wife haha.
Absolutely outstanding @Alex and @OJ .. Before I retired from Law Enforcement.. My favorite thing I implemented in my department was “Shop with a Cop”.. To me, it was the MOST rewarding feeling in all my 23 years. This young man will remember this for the rest of his life. Stay blessed guys!!
I guarantee he’s fixing this car to give it to someone in need for Christmas. What an awesome guy!!
I knew it!!!!
That's awesome that yall helped this kid. I have a son that has autism and he definitely reminds me of him 😊. This world needs more people like yall.
I have the very same vehicle ,bought used from the third owner , have it for five years now , approaching 180,000 miles ,once again maintaining a vehicle is the key for a long lasting vehicle !
I can tell you I own a 2019 Frontier and I get the flashing airbag warning light all the time. I get the dealer to clear it and it inevitably comes back. I just ride with it. Apparently their electronics aren't the best. I also had to unhook the battery before because all the dash lights went out and that fixed it. Apparently it's common.
Thanks Alex for breaking up the week with a new video. Wow, that Typhoon does look small.
Alex has the best timing ever. Ill gladly drop what i was doing for a Lsc upload. Happy thanksgiving everybody!
Mr LGC , I’ve been casually watching you over the couple of years and it just occurred to me that not only you’re a genuinely good bloke you are teaching me PATIENCE . So Thank You
Cheers Greg D

Just a quick tip. Those cam sensor connectirs are called posi lock connectirs and us Nissan techs hate them.
So spray wd-40 or penetrating oil in them to help lube the spring and they come off much easier.
Also connect the cam sensor to harness and if the connectir end doesnt click out or pop out. Tap the end with a screw driver to get it to lock. The connectoe isnt locked on the sensor unless its popped out.
Then put the cam sensor in the head, with the connector already attached. 👍🏾👍🏾
A pre Thanksgiving legit street cars episode hell yeah brother 😎💪
47:12........WIIICKKEDDDD 😂
I DIIDDNT KNOW WHAT TO SAYYYYY 😭
@@Truly_agape lol well it made me laugh. Congrats on getting that car. I would have loved that as my first car. Being from the UK, many other of the UK viewers will confirm that if a 17/18 year old owned that, we would be charged around £8,000 (UK pounds) a year for insurance. Lol I'll let you do the conversion.
My first Thanksgiving alone in 31 years, I'm going to binge watch this channel and others . Such a great feeling seeing this
Had the same one but in white and only rear drive. Used it for a couple years then sold it to a friend who really needs a car for his lady. It has good power. I just purchased an 04 Frontier from my brother. He put a motor for the customer who just abandoned it after it's fixed.
I watch a lot of car youtube, but nothing scratches the itch or lights me up more than seeing a new video notification for LSC. Thank you Alex for continuing to deliver genuine content for the everyday guy!
Yesssss LSC episode!!! Let’s goooo!
you're an awesome guy, sure would have liked to have heard the exhaust on the van, maybe next video?
I heard the fart at 19:34 🤣
😂
Fart tight is a thing!
My guess with the cabin filter: engineers wanted to use easily remembered numbers for the year intervals, usually in factors of 10 or 5. And kilometers are more popular in everywhere but the US, so that would be the main standard. So it's easier to remember 15k or 20k kilometer change interval, rather than the odd number it would be if the tried to use the same figure for both miles and kilometers.
Alex, that right there is peak car 'community'. Passing on the passion for cars. That kid will NEVER forget that and I guarantee he'll look for every chance he can get to help others within the community once he grows up. Great stuff. Much love from Australia mate! 🇦🇺
Nissans always need crank sensors lol
The new Ariya doesn't... lol
Yep just did mine lol. Luckily denso/hitachi sensors aren’t that expensive
Will this be a Christmas present for someone in need?
Keep watching!!
The weird cloth on the roof is probably some media screen that got removed.
I thought that in the first video, maybe after market and they wanted it back
Just seeing a 16 year old kid these days with the ambition and follow through to get their drivers license gives me hope. Would be great to see David go to tech school and eventually apprentice with O.J.
Love what you do for the future of the industry, as well as just our younger gerneration in general Alex 🙏🙏🙏
Awesome to see the kid get his first vehicle. Man, you guys definitely have a lot of respect for your viewers. Truly a class act! Great job guys!!!
I had a 2001 pathfinder for years until about 2016 & I loved it. the v-6 was smooth and punchy. It was the only SUV that felt like driving a nice sedan. Not sure about a 2005 but mine was not sugglish. I'd definitely want to check that out.
This channel should be on Motortrend or any national platforms because Alex just has that character we all appreciate. Been watching for years and his patience and attitude has never waivered in any way. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone 🦃
I've done the crank position sensor on my Pathfinder before. You can turn the wheel all the way to the left and remove the liner. The wheel can stay on and you can replace it on the ground. Not too bad a job even if you don't have a lot of tools. You need need a 10mm and an extension.
Hey Alex..... that was a great thing to do man. I love the way that you pay it forward. Keep being a blessing to people in need.
Dude so clutch! Loved this surprise, very generous and thoughtful of you! The authenticity of your content is why it’s one of my favorite channels!
I was gonna type 3 rows of how I really like this channel but I concluded to say... I really really like this channel! Thanx for being YOU!
That kid who go the car really I could tell is going to be a great mechanic. He seems like a great kid and has a very humble and chill vibe which will carry him very far with the right folks like you guys to guide him a little. Thank you so much for giving him that car. Man that brought a tear to my eye because that was definitely the most wholesome thing I’ve seen in a while. He will never forget that. God bless you brother.
Now let’s just hope he doesn’t get a ticket for driving too fast lol. ❤
I love scrolling through these man, and I promise I wont get a speeding ticket lol
Heck yeah. That kid is super stoked. Not everybody shows excitement the same way. Put a big smile on my face after a long couple weeks.
That kid looked ungrateful but probably didn't know how to react? Was the worst reaction for getting given a free car ever. It's still kind what Alex did, but this kid?
I love this generation of pathfinder. Always wanted one for an offroad build. My uncle had one new in 2008 with all the options including the Nav with the backup cam, the DVD player in the second row (which I think is what you have that hole for) and the leather heated seats. It died pretty early with the milkshake of death at 120K miles. The dealership advised at the time it was purchased that the fluid was for the lifetime of the vehicle, so the trans fluid was never changed and the strawberry milkshake killed the tranny by the time he noticed. I still plan on getting one, one day. Nissan had some build quality during this era
What a heartwarming moment.. I was given a car recently and all I can say is I know how amazing it feels! Thanks 🙏
I am pretty sure you have heard this before… but JUST in case…
When installing spark plugs - using a fuel or vacuum line that fits over the end - allows for flexibility - and wont strip threads as it will allow it to slip before applying too much torque🙂
Super helpful especially in hard to reach places.
You’re welcome! ✅😎
Hey, for spark plugs that are down deep in the head like that, I have always used a long piece of rubber hose that fits tight over the plug to screw them in and out and it also makes it very easy to get the plug up and down out of the hole without damage or dropping it. Just something to keep in mind.
I love such gifts. Thanx Alex for your kindness. You make that young man so happy. Greets from Germany.
If you were wondering about the space in the headliner, I believe that was an option spot for a rear DVD player screen, check the center console, at one time there may have been a DVD player in there or someone was attempting to add one to the truck.
