#2040 of 2049 Re: Frontier '05 Looks like the fuel sensors and rear brake seals are real prob [eman916] by 05nismo6 Apr 24, 2009 (6:46 am)
Replying to: eman916 (Apr 23, 2009 8:59 am) My fuel level sensor is bad too. I've also had my rear axle seals done already. (I threatened to call a lawyer, mine were busted at 67K miles) It sounds to me like Nissan has issues with the Frontier that they are refusing to acknowledge.

Replying to: 05nismo6 (Apr 24, 2009 6:46 am) This is the first I've read about axle seals. It's just insane what servicing costs these days everywhere. My wife's '04 Subaru (bought new) has been the worst car we've ever owned (eternal engine troubles, flimsy interior fabrics torn and stained), so I guess any brand can have it bad. Our favorite vehicle is our '92 Mitsu with 231,000 Miles. It's been a great car and I enjoy tinkering with it very much.   As far as New Gen Frontiers, a large forum shows a bunch of owners have had the fuel sending unit problem. Something like 10 to 12% reported wearing out of the VQ-40 secondary timing chain guides (chains on the camshafts) and some early clutch failures as reported here. I had the fuel sending unit problem, but none of the others yet. Mine is a 6-Speed.
#2042 of 2049 fuel level sensor by shuffles Jun 30, 2009 (6:47 am)
It looks like my fuel level sensor is on its way out. From full, the indicator drops like a rock for the first quarter tank. It moves very slowly for the next two quarters - then drops like a rock for the last quarter. Did any out there have similar experiences before the sensor went out? Or what were your experiences? Could this be an ethanol problem? Considering the expense of replacing the sensor, I am tempted to just let it go and buy gas every 400 miles. That has been a pretty accurate gage for me.

Replying to: shuffles (Jun 30, 2009 6:47 am) Mine stopped going to full when I filled it up. But the first thing that happened was the Check Engine light starting coming on shortly after I filled it up, then it would go out at about a half tank and then come back when it was close to empty. Nothing like what you are describing though. Replies to this message: asa (Jun 30, 2009 4:50 pm)

Replying to: 05nismo6 (Jun 30, 2009 9:31 am) Yep, my CEL too illuminated when my fuel sending unit failed. I ran the tank down to near bone dry when it happened. My gauge had been working fine beforehand.
#2045 of 2049 2000 Nissan Frontier Camper Shell by jim338 Sep 05, 2009 (6:33 pm)
I just bought a 2000 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab and am looking for a Camper Shell. I probably will not be able to find a used camper shell make for my truck. Probably not right away. What camper shells other than one made for my truck can be used. Thanks Jim Replies to this message: jim338 (Sep 05, 2009 7:48 pm)

Replying to: jim338 (Sep 05, 2009 6:33 pm) Correction it's a regular cab not a crew cab.

Replying to: mr2rogers (Oct 03, 2009 5:50 pm) i just disconnected the battery for a couple of minutes to let the computer reset. the check engine light went off. no problems. a whole lot cheaper than letting dealer install new pump and sending unit! hope this helps!
