Hi all, just wanted to alert everyone to a potential problem with 2004 pathfinder. My high-side A/C hose just blew today. The hose was rubbing against the steering column on the driver's front of the engine compartment. You might want to make sure your hose isn't rubbing!

Sorry, I haven't been able to puzzle out how to attach or insert an image. I do have one, though.

Upload your pics to a host site, like photobucket, then copy and paste the URL.
I believe there's a how to sticky in General Chat re: posting pics.

Well, I wasn't intending to go through a song and dance to try and help people. I don't use photobucket and didn't intend to. Previously, I just attached my image. Thanks for the advice, but I won't be using any third-party websites. I'd be happy to send the pic to anyone that thinks they can benefit from it. Good luck all!

Thanks for the heads-up. I checked mine, and measured a 3/4 inch gap between the untouched, original A/C hose and the closest part (a rubber boot) on the steering column.
