Man, you must have got the Friday truck of all Friday trucks. I have 233,000 miles on mine with only regular maintenance (oil change, lube jobs and tune-ups) and I expect it will still be going strong in another quarter million miles. Usual load is a Caterpillar transmission, tractor tires, and many other commercial parts. Good luck with yours. Read More...

I deleted the case number just to cover my butt. ____________________________________________________________ Thank you for your recent correspondence to Nissan North America, Inc. and allowing us the opportunity ...

NISMO my experience

Written by: moparbad on Nov 18, 2008 07:24 PM

My 2006 NISMO has one repair which is TPMS sensor covered under warranty. I have a squeak which I believe is coming from bushings/mounts between the frame and bed or cab (have not really investigated it, when I get some free time I'll get under the truck and do some detective work), nothing else. Previous truck was a Toyota Tacoma which had a problem with dash rattles ... Read More...

The dealer recommended the scheduled maintenance of not only replacement of the engine oil but also replacing the automatic transmission fluid, deferential oil, coolant, drive belts and transfer case oil. Other than the engine oil, is it really necessary to change the rest of the items mentioned every 30K? In my ... Read More...

Dakota Hauler vers Other Midsize

Written by: wrench1 on Nov 22, 2007 05:53 AM

I own a 2006 SLT Sport CC Dakota 4.7 and tow a boat and other loads. I also own and tow with a 2006 Nissan Xterra 4.0. The Nissan pulls just as well, and gets avg 19 MPG towing while the Dakota drops to 15 MPG. The Dakota can really haul more on the road but for everyday day driving in town, the Xterra/Frontier 4.0L gets 23 MPG. Great gas mileage for 266 HP. My 2001 Ranger SC4.0L ... Read More...
