#41 of 2808 Gas Cap and More... by evr31 Nov 26, 2000 (6:57 pm)
I have a Silver 2000 XE (w/ the 3 pack) with about 4400 miles. Recently, the "Service Engine Soon" warning light came on and I brought it into the dealer's service center to check it out. As it turns out, the warning light was triggered by the aftermarket Locking Gas Cap that I bought from xterraparts.com. From what I was told, that particular cap is ventilated (which is a no no for the X). The service person told me to put the original gas cap on and that the warning light should go away in a few days after it computer resets. Anyone experience this before? How long does it take for the computer to reset? Its been 5 days and its still on!!! Is there anything I can do to quicken the process? Also, I was driving in LI, NY yesterday and I saw a black X with the plates XTERROR. Whoever you are (I think I saw someone mention it earlier when talking about customized plates), Great X! Hopefully you see this so you can tell me where you got that cool Xterra decal (I think it was)for the wind deflector. One last question, I am thinking about replacing the front speakers and the stereo/CD as a holiday gift to myself. Any recommendations? I'm looking for quality sound (e.g. Bose) as opposed to high volume. Also, if anyone knows of an a good audio shop in the NY Tri-State area that sells and does installations, I would appreciate your recommendations! Sorry for such a long post...I hope everyone had a good Holiday!!!!

hey evr,          thats me!! thanks for the compliment....I got the Xterra decal on my wind deflector at a sign shop....they can make just about anything you want(color, size, font style) cost me around $40. Its a small world after all.....where are your from??? take care, Mike ps I have replaced my complete sound system and would recommend Eclipse. Mine sounds 100x better than stock.....I bought my stuff from a guy on Route 110 in Huntington....

If it doesn't go off after a day or so, the condition was present long enough that the computer doesn't consider it transient and won't clear it on its own. The dealer can plug into the computer and clear it in a jiffy. I can't believe they didn't do it for you while you were there... If there isn't a "whoosh" sound when you loosen the cap then it's not sealing properly. My Stant "Pre-vent" cap does fine on my '00. Brent

Mike/Shek3 - I'm from the city but I saw you driving on Jericho. Are you from that area? I had just stopped by ATV to buy some PIAA bulbs. Also stopped by the 5 Star car wash..gotta admit, it had to be the best car wash I've ever had!! LOL Thanks for the info! What's the name of the place on 110?? I think I passed it yesterday, a few blocks past the Jericho intersection? Opposite the Mall? I think theres another shop heading toward the LIE. By the way, someone told me to be careful with the installers because it can void the warranty. Is that true? Thanks again and maybe next time I'm around the neighborhood you can show me your X and give me some ideas! Mine is starting to look a little boring! LOL

Brent, thanks for your reply! I did have the Stant cap and I also heard the Woosh every time I opened it. I mentioned that to the dealer and also told him that I've had the cap for the last 4 months and that the light just turned on. After what you just told me, I can't believe they sent me home with the light still on!! I'm bringing it back this week!!!
#46 of 2808 Price Check...... It's Mine by abaxter007 Nov 27, 2000 (3:41 am)
Hey guys thanks for all the help on the Xterra. I brought her home today. I drove 180 miles to make the deal only to find my dealer trying to stiff me with a $250 processing fee. Being that he wasn't processing jack, I told him I was not gonna pay it. He wouldn't budge, so I decided to put capitalism in motion and I got up and walked out straight to his competition across town. Now I have a kick butt X and I am $250 richer. Don't pay that bs charge. You guys were right I love it.

I am from the Huntington area......the name of the stereo place is Audio Planet.......just south of Jericho............guy's name is Mike........tell him I sent you(or let me know when you will be there and maybe I can help you out) Dealers are always telling you that any work they dont do will void the warranty(they like to take ALL your money, and not share the wealth with outside companies). If you buy the wiring harnesses and you are somewhat handy you could probably do the system yourself. The next time you see my truck it may have new wheels and tires.......please Santa please.........take care, Mike
#48 of 2808 Warranty by haasek Nov 27, 2000 (2:45 pm)
Xero - by the way - thanks for pointing out the XterraStore.com site! I had a quick question. I don't see a link at the site to the warranty you mentioned. Did you call them to get it?
#49 of 2808 2002 X's by mstexasx Nov 27, 2000 (3:20 pm)
I was skimming over a car magazine this weekend and reviewed the information regarding the Xterra. It said something about the 2002 X's will have more power. Does anyone know anything about this? I currently drive a Mustang and I know that the X, (along with other SUV's), will not have the same power. I am not expecting the X to drive like my Mustang, but if anyone knows what the difference the 2002 will have compared to the 2001, please let me know.
#50 of 2808 2002 Xterra by 2xterras Nov 27, 2000 (3:44 pm)
Mstexasx, I haven't heard anything about more power in the Xterra in 2002 But if this is true, more than likely the Xterra will get the same super charger that's in the Frontier that pumps out 210 HP and 245 lb/ft. torque (I believe the 245 is correct). Frankly, I wouldn't jump on it just yet. Since the setup is relatively new with this engine, enough time hasn't passed to make me feel comfortable with it just yet.
