#307 of 460 Re: Decreased mpg in 1993 Nissan Pickup [cruarkawd] by tony1958 Sep 18, 2006 (12:07 pm)
Replying to: cruarkawd (Sep 17, 2006 7:39 pm) Just got a call from the dealership after soliciting their opinion on whether the fuel pressure regulator might be the culprit for the decreased gas mileage. They didn't think so, but wouldn't rule it out. One of the mechanics suggested it might be the Emission Gas Return (EGR) valve that supposedly takes unburned fuel (as vapors, I guess) and returns it to be used again. Certainly not sure I have this right. Any thoughts on whether a malfunctioning EGR valve could cause a decline in gas mileage? Replies to this message: moneyman6 (Sep 19, 2006 5:56 am)
#308 of 460 Alternator not charging by erasmussen Sep 18, 2006 (9:06 pm)
1998 Frontier XE 4x4 4 cyl. Manual transmission that does not read a charge coming from the alternator. Had the alternator tested at an automotive store and it tested good, but when put back into the vehicle there is still no charge being read at the battery.   The problem arose shortly after I noticed frost on the inside of the windshield and defrosted it, but did not wipe all the water off and some drained down into the dashboard. I then noticed the windsheild wipers were much slower, this went on for a week or about 50 - 75 miles of driving (mostly at daylight) then one day when the truck needed a jump start, realized the alternator must be failing. But like I said earlier, when I pulled it and took it in to be tested, it tested fine and when reinstalled it measured while running a slow but steadily diminishing 12v at the battery posts.   Continuity test show the cables coming off the big terminal on the alternator as good and the ground cable coming off the alternator as good.   Could it be something under the dash? But what?

Replying to: tony1958 (Sep 18, 2006 12:07 pm) The EGR takes the exhaust gas that will no longer burn and recirculates it so that it can be used as displacement in the cylinder. It cuts output of the engine but it increases MPG as you are using less heat in the reaction due to less of an explosion in the cyl.

#311 of 460 2000 Nissan Frontier, 5 speed manual cont. by brian_jp Sep 26, 2006 (11:38 am)
Hello,  When I'm shifting into gears, there seems to be a knock or a "groan" when I'm releasing the clutch. Seems to do it going into every gear. I want to make sure nothing is loose. The clutch doesn't slip when it's fully engaged? Anyone else with this strange noise? I just bought the truck, and I'm trying to make sure everything is good to go.   Thanks, Brian Replies to this message: moneyman6 (Sep 26, 2006 4:32 pm) ryancey (Oct 28, 2006 2:06 pm) thol (Oct 31, 2006 11:56 am)

#313 of 460 NissanFrontierXE suddenly squealing when braking, after grinding gears.? by nissandog Aug 18, 2006 (8:45 pm)
#314 of 460 NissanFrontierXE suddenly squealing when braking, after grinding gears.? by nissandog Aug 18, 2006 (8:45 pm)
Hi all. I have a 2001 Nissan Frontier XE manual transmission pickup.   Its been a pretty reliable truck so far. Earlier today while driving in San Francisco with its hilly streets, i accidentally accellerated the gas before i had the gear fully into gear. I think i was going from 5th to 4th or 3rd. Speed was 35mph.?   Now suddenly whenever i brake, even lightely, my truck is sqealing. Its usually a thin, long scratchy squealing sound. But it does it mostly when braking. There is sometimes a very faint squeal when driving (not braking) but barely - its pretty much just when i brake. About 75% of the time i brake now today, since the gear shifting mishap - the gear very loudly made a metallic griding sound for 3/4 of a second as i accidently accellarated before the gear was fully shifted into place - the truck make a type of sqealing sound.   I hope i havent totally messed up my clutch or transmission or something else very expensive? Also, about an hour before the gear mishap, while going 60mph on slight downhill street, the brakes shimmied when i applied them like they were hesitant to grip fully. I was told by a mechanic once that brakes just do that on occasion as they are warming up or something? But now with the squealing - Im wondering what has happened to my truck. Do i just suddenly need to replace the brakes as it has been probably close to 9 months since theyve been replaced, and i drive everyday, alot. Well, maybe on an average 35 miles a day every day.   Any suggestion, ideas of what might be causing the sudden thin long scratchy squealing sound?

#315 of 460 Tires too large by brian_jp Sep 27, 2006 (7:16 am)
Hello,  I recently purchased a 2000 Nissan Frontier 4 x 4 that has P275 / 75 / R16 tires on it. The tires are brand new, so the previous owner didn't have them on the truck for long. I don't know if they had that size on before the current set, lets hope not. I was wondering what the short or long term side effects or damage this could cause? The truck only makes a "grinding" sound when the wheel is turned all the way in the left or right direction while going over a bump. I'm thinking that the radius arm is getting pulled on. I'm taking it easy on the truck until I can get the correct size on the truck. Anyone ever had this situation?   Thanks, Brian Replies to this message: moneyman6 (Sep 27, 2006 1:49 pm)

Replying to: brian_jp (Sep 27, 2006 7:16 am) My frontier does it with 265 stocks.... dealer put on... it is just a bushing sliding along possibly on the radius arm or another part of the cheap stock steering set up
