Replying to: 9babies (May 27, 2008 4:33 pm) I think Xterra is always in good condition.
#2769 of 2808 Re: 05 Xterra Offroad Wheel came off at 50mph [lvxterra05] by asa May 30, 2008 (8:53 am)
Replying to: lvxterra05 (Feb 14, 2008 4:17 pm) It sounds like the previous owner or serviceperson hugely overtorqued the lug nuts or had replaced them with something from the hardware store. Proper torque is probably 98 Ft/Lbs.; your owner's manual will say for sure.   You need to immediately check the other wheels. If you can't remove them with the lug nut wrench that came with the truck, they're probably overtorqued. Overtorquing can also warp the brake rotors. Scary stuff -- thank heaven you stopped safety!
#2770 of 2808 01 Xterra SE - car alarm ultra-sensitive by swintronix Jun 03, 2008 (9:11 pm)
I've got a 2001 Xterra. 6 months ago, my truck was hit, and repaired at a body shop. Since then (and never before this event) the car alarm is ultra-sensitive.    It goes off within 5 minutes of me locking the truck w/ the key fob. It will go off every 5-7 minutes, or maybe every 10 minutes. In recent weeks it will go off within 2 minutes of locking the truck. It is definitely getting worse.    I no longer lock the truck, because I don't want to upset my neighbors with the constant alarms.    I took the truck to mechanic who didn't know how to lower the sensitivity. I asked him is he could simply disable the alarm, but he wasn't sure about that either.    Is there a way to just disable the alarm function without affecting anything else? I would just as soon be able to lock the car without the alarm feature. Or, how does one go about decreasing the sensitivity of the car alarm?    Thanks in advance!

#2771 of 2808 Not happy with my 05 X by steveg64 Jun 04, 2008 (12:45 pm)
I bought it new and it was fine till it hit 30k. I'm just not happy with it and I don't feel good about the warranty coming to an end. Also it sucks on gas and even that has got worse. Are all the 05's bad? Replies to this message: Boris2 (Jun 04, 2008 1:43 pm)

Replying to: steveg64 (Jun 04, 2008 12:45 pm) Anything specifically (aside from gas mileage which will generally suck on everything larger than corolla nowadays)?

Replying to: swintronix (Jun 03, 2008 9:11 pm) My '97 Subaru alarm was acting up - I suspected the shock sensor, and it seemed mostly affected by cold weather. There is an sensitivity dial adjustment on mine. Assuming the factory setting can be adjusted, the dealer may know how to set yours for a lower sensitivity.   I go so frustrated with mine, instead of tinkering with the dial settings, I disconnected the battery and pulled the siren out and clipped the wires. Now it sometimes doesn't want to crank if I don't hit "unlock" on the key fob or press the "secret" override button that mine has, so I really can't recommend this method. But it did shut it up!   Good luck - durn alarms can really drive you boinkers.
#2774 of 2808 Rust??? by mysport Jun 09, 2008 (9:01 am)
Have 2006 with 22K on it and rust bubbles are forming just below the rear window. No accidents or anything like that. Not looking forward to resolving this with the dealer/Nissan - if the clutch fiasco we went through is any indication.   Ugghh.

#2775 of 2808 gas? by Boris2 Jun 11, 2008 (11:48 am)
What kind of gas do you put in XTerra? I've been fulling up with mid grade for the last years on all of my cars (including XTerra) and the dealer recently told me that all Nissans are designed for regular unleaded for the last several years.   I know that it'd make only $3-4 difference per fuel up but it all adds up.

#2777 of 2808 Re: 2nd post about 06 Xterra Clutch issue..unreal!!!!!! [slaviolette] by jdrivers09 Jun 15, 2008 (12:13 pm)
Replying to: slaviolette (Jan 02, 2008 10:38 pm) First off, I apologize for replying so late, however I had the exact same issue around the same time with my purchased brand new 2006 Off Road manual transmission. The only difference in my case, was I quit searching around the net because Nissan graciously decided to repair my clutch under warranty. I have a feeling it was because the service manager here in Fairbanks, AK really pushed for the warranty coverage. The flywheel, pressure plate, and clutch pad all had to be replaced at 21k miles. I noticed it failing well before I took it to the dealer, but I literally smoked the thing! They gave me the same spiel about how there are no recorded cases of 06 clutch failures and how it's probably because I'm hard on my vehicle. I did tow about 3500 lbs from Georgia to Alaska, but at no time did I ever "abuse" my clutch. I have been driving manual shift vehicles for 9 years now, 3 of them towing cars in a wrecker, so I know abuse to a clutch. I keep reading more and more of these posts on the net, which concerns me for the next 20k miles on this clutch. Whenever towing or in 4x4, I can smell the pad burning again, and despite taking it back to the dealer twice, they have yet to do anything about it. If it happens again I'm just going to replace it myself with an aftermarket clutch kit. Nissan is a bastard for not doing anything about this for others; last Nissan I buy.
