Of course, I checked on it through Z1 Offroad and it said on their site if you have an 07 to check for VIN capability. When I called, they said the harness for my VIN is discontinued. The part number is...

    This sound has gotten worse as the weather has been colder and wetter. I put on a new belt and tensioner about 3 years ago. I tried pouring some water on the belt and it went away for a few seconds. I pulled the belt off, cleaned it with warm soapy water rinsed it, cleaned the pulleys, and put...

    In my 2007 X I have an issue where if I have my car running for a while and then come to a stop my battery needle dances around and my rpm goes up and then down below 650 and back up, and it's repeats this the whole time I'm sitting. The battery indicator on the dash drops just above the dead...

    Hi Everyone, I bought this 140amp alternator for my 2008 Xterra and I am just curious if it's necessary that I upgrade the wiring to the battery as well. I know that with the REALLY high amp alternators new wiring is required, but this one is only slightly more amps than the stock alternator...

    I bought 2 alternators from Advance Auto Parts remans. After much frustration, I got the connected first alternator connected. I read the voltage at 14.4, everything looked good. I drove it for an hour, came home and parked it. When I went to start it, the battery went dead so that ended up...

    Hello fellow x owners, Hope you’re doing well! My 06 xterra has started making a very odd whining sound. Seems as though the battery is not charging up as it usually does (brand new battery too). I’m curious to know if this is my alternator strap, serpentine belt, or maybe the timing chains…...

    I have the original, stock alternator in my 2006 S model. After some searching it looks like it is rated at 110amps. I'm guessing that's max ouput under the best conditions, revving high. I'm building an off grid power system for a small offroad teardrop. I was planning on integrating a dual...
