Replying to: dprather (Oct 11, 2008 5:01 pm) Actually it's your dealers fault that they didn't repair it for you under warranty, Nissan issued the tsb on the brakes and it's up to your individual dealer to apply the TSB when the car is brought in for the issues effected by the TSB.     -mike Motorsports and Modifications Host Replies to this message: lovenavy (Oct 28, 2008 1:25 pm) paisan (Oct 28, 2008 2:07 pm) shark715 (Oct 28, 2008 3:01 pm) paisan (Oct 28, 2008 5:41 pm)

Replying to: paisan (Oct 12, 2008 6:15 am) My 06 Armada is 40K mile and out of warranty. I use mobil one synthetic motor oil since new with no problem. I'm a bit hesitant to use synthetic automatic transmission oil and gear oil in the differential because nissan has stated that using any other than the matic j fluid will cause damage to the transmission. any inputs. thanks.

Replying to: lovenavy (Oct 28, 2008 1:25 pm) I run the Nissan fluid in the transmission, just cause it's expensive to replace it!   For my Front and Rear Diffy's I use Amsoil Synthetic and for the transfer case I use Amsoil Synthetic Allison ATF. So far in 50k miles, no issues.   -mike Motorsports and Modifications Host

Replying to: lovenavy (Oct 28, 2008 1:25 pm) Nissan stated that any other fluid will cause damage to the transmission? Where did they state that? Replies to this message: paisan (Oct 28, 2008 5:41 pm)

Replying to: shark715 (Oct 28, 2008 3:01 pm) IIRC it requires Matic-J, which is only available from Nissan.... Maybe a few other car makers use it as well.   -mike Motorsports and Modifications Host

Replying to: dprather (Oct 11, 2008 5:01 pm) This problem does not occur with all suv's. I had a toyota 4-runner before I purchased my 2004 armada, and never had a problem.. I feel your pain with the brake/rotor issue. And to top if off with only 70,000 miles on mine, the 4th gear and overdrive gave out in mine. Just to rebuild it, it is costing 2500.00. And a new one over 5000.00. Believe me, I will never own another, and I'll be sticking with a honda or toyota.   good luck to you Replies to this message: paisan (Oct 30, 2008 6:01 pm)

Replying to: baby2004 (Oct 30, 2008 3:06 pm) How often have you flushed your coolant? How often have you flushed your Transmission fluid? What kind of towing have you done with it?   I've towed for 40,000 of my 55,000 miles on my truck. Everything from my 6,000lb car trailer to my 11,500lb cigarette boat w/triple axles.   Trans is smooth as silk. Only issues I've had are the initial brake problem which was addressed in late 2005, and just recently my exhaust manifold started to leak.   -mike Motorsports and Modifications Host

Replying to: gorio1 (Dec 27, 2008 8:13 am) I'm curious. Do you have a cargo basket or luggage rack on the roof of your Armada?   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper Replies to this message: paisan (Dec 28, 2008 11:45 am)

Replying to: tidester (Dec 27, 2008 9:58 am) How many miles? Perhaps you need new front shocks. I know that the Bilstiens that I put in (you have to put in the ones specified for the titan) have made a big difference. Then again my Armada is usually fairly stable up to about 110mph.   -mike Subaru Guru and Track Instructor
