Kate, They charged you? Hmmmm! Depending on how much it was, I would probably go to the regional Nissan guy with it. Obviously you got a bad one, or they ...
It was only a $50 deductible but I was wondering that myself. Since they were so nice, went and got my car from my mechanics and squeezed me in, I didn't...
Hello, I am just wondering what kind of spark plugs and wires the list may suggest. Also, is it difficult to do a tune up myself? Thanks, James ... CREATIVE...
Ed, I have the T17, love it: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/xterraguy/TJM-T17.jpg I'm not a fan of the Calmini roof rack myself. The Xterra's factory rack is...
... Plugs: NGK, nothing else. Get the G-power platinum plugs if you're on a budget, or the Iridium ones otherwise. Personally, I just run the V-power copper...
Hey Brent, good meeting you. Thanks for the heads up on these items. I use my xterra for work and need the extra carrying power the calmini roof rack...
Brent, I pulled the OEM plugs 2k after I bought my xterra and had a bitch of a time getting the sixth plug in, so much so that I pulled the intake off to do...
Airbags and bumpers are not a problem. The sensor that activates the airbags is between the seats under the console. The bumper isn't going to have any...
Whoa, there is no filter that needs changing in the transmission. It has a self-flushing screen that should never need attention unless your tranny has...
Ok, thanks for the heads up. Looks like a filter to me though. Wonder if there is a way to drain the torque converter and replace the fluid completely. Does...
Ed, If you raise the right front wheel when draining the fluid, you can get about 5 of the 9 or so quarts out of the system. Some people suggest disconnecting...
James, If you can use a rachet, box wrench, & have an idea of what most of the components of the engine include, you can do a tune up. Spark plugs are easy....
I was thinking about the power flush idea for the AT. I'll probably do the ramp thing first to inspect the fluid and drain the majority of it. I'm at 79k now...
Hi: I have a 2000 xterra with 98000 miles on it. The other day I parked it at lunch. I'd been using the air conditioning with the blower on low speed. I...
Mark, This is a common X problem, but there is an easy solution. Its the resistor board on the motor. Its found under the dash board. I'll dig up some info for...
Mark, I pulled a few notes from Brent off of old emails. See below! "The fan has a resistance element that limits the speed in positions 1- 3. It has failed...
Hi, besides what Brent and others on the board may offer, there is a site where someone went through the trouble of going through the three or four steps to ...
Ed, I'd get the flush sooner than later, the longer you go before/between the larger the (slight) risk of potential problems that could surface as a result....
Hi folks, I have a 2004 XE that I installed Bilstein 5100's on at 3K miles and it made a huge difference in ride and handling. I've put about 25K miles on...
No experience with aftermarkets, but my X has 72000 on its original shocks and it rides great. 25K seems way too low - are you doing a lot of off-roading? ...
Thanks for all the responses - I guess I'll have to look to see if there is anything else going on with the suspension - if it all checks out I'll have to pull...
Hi, I have a 2002 that i purchased with 47k and within two weeks of pruchasing the thing, I broke an OEM rear shock while towing a 8 X 5 trailer. I read...
You're right, I'll probably do it sooner than later. There's a jeg's model when you do a search on their web site that looks a little easier to mount. I dont ...
Hi: I just wanted to say that of all the forums I participate in, this one is by far the most useful. Thanks again guys for all your help. You all are...
I've never heard anything about shocks being damaged by the hitch, nor is that possible. I have heard of the shocks being damaged by the rear sway bar. Brent...
Whoa, going dry sump is massive overkill. Put that out of your head now. If you want to cool the oil, get an oil filter relocation kit (4x4parts.com carries...
