#270 of 485 grill guard by rsimmonds

May 08, 2006 (1:53 am)

I am considering putting a nissan factory grill guard on my 2004 titan. Can you put driving lights on it, I don't think it is predrilled. It has only 2 points of attachment to the truck instead of 4 in after market grill guards and wonder if vibrations-noise is a problem. Can it be put on without sacrificing the skid plate as is the case with all the after market grill guards that I have researched.

#271 of 485 should i buy? by popdaddy

I'm looking at a 2000 crew cab with the V6. It is in good shape and runs out well, but has 127,000 miles on it. If I get it, I want to keep it for a while. Anybody still going strong with this many or more miles? Problems I should look for? Thanks

I have a 1987 pick-up that runs fine when I first start it. After I drive 10 miles or so, or sooner in warmer weather, the engine misses now and then, causing the truck to "stutter". It gets worse as I continue to drive.
 
I replaced the throttle position sensor, since the stuttering stops if I begin accelerating. I assumed there was a "dead-spot" in the old throttle sensor. I assume that once the engine warms up there is something else that is causing the problem. I'd welcome any suggestions on what might cause these symptoms. The truck is old, but only has 109k on it. Still lots of life left in it if I can fix the "stutter".

Nevermind. I passed on that one and bought a 2001 crew cab with 62,000 miles on it. No problems so far.

As I said above, I bought a 2001 crew cab SE 4x4. Didn't really want the 4x4 and don't think I'll need it that much here in GA, but it was the best deal. Never had a 4x4 before. My son says I need to run it in 4x4 about once a month to keep it in good shape. Your advice?

Took my Frontier to a Nissan dealer and they told me that I had the wrong plugs, it had to have NGK's and I had Bosch Platinums. Same with the cap, rotor and plug wires. I thought it was BS, but I changed them anyway...they were right, the shake is completely gone. They also told me that the reason for the SES light and the cyl#2 misfire is that EGR ports 1, 3, and 4 in the intake manifold are clogged. All the recirc gas is being forced into cyl#2. They wanted $475.00 to "see" if they could clean the egr ports, if they couldn't clean them I would have to get a new manifold. I think I will try cleaning them myself. Anyone ever cleaned the egr ports before? If so do you have any tips before I tear into it?

What is the history of oil type used for your Frontier? Mineral or synthetic?

#279 of 485 sliding window by billingsley

May 24, 2006 (7:36 am)

Has anyone heard whether the crew cab Frontier is going to have a sliding rear window available soon? I would like to buy one, but the rear window could be a deal breaker between that and the Toyota.
