2011 Nissan Xterra S (4WD) 150k There is a klacking sound coming from the engine bay. It isn't consistent, doesn't seem to follow RPM, and usually goes away after driving for 20 minutes or so. The fact that it isn't going on 100% of the time leads me to question whether it's timing chain...

HI, I am currently having an issue with my 2006 nissan Xterra. It has been overheating, I have gone through most of the usual troubleshooting steps and have had the thermostat, water pump, radiator, timing chain, radiator caps, all replaced by a reputable mechanic. The truck still overheats. So...

So today while driving I got the dreaded "Service Engine Soon" light. I took it to the get the code ran and it was the "P0128" code. I have a few questions surrounding this code. I recently upgraded my whole Radiator/Thermostat and cooling system in my 05 Xterra to this kit . It's a complete...

I’m attempting to change the oil cooler o-ring in my 2010 off-road. The o ring I got from Nissan looked significantly different than what I removed, so I called them. They told me I have an original oil cooler and the oil cooler itself was updated, that’s why the gasket I have looks much...

Whats up everyone, A little while back the ole X decided to quit one day in the parking garage and was in a crank no start condition. After a new battery and some brake-kleen it fired so I tracked the issue down to the fuel pump. A few weeks later I got a new fuel pump in and she was back in...

So i bought an X back in October, my friends told me not to but I'm a hard head for the X. the guy i bought it from said he retuned the tranny, which i now believe because it responds like a race tranny, and because of this, the TCM doesn't communicate with the CAN-- U0100 code i need to do a...

Hello all, I have a 2006 Nissan Xterra 2wd that’s having…a lot of problems right now. My biggest? There’s not much acceleration happening - especially uphill. I’ll top out at about 30 mph on a straight road, but a bit of a steep hill, I’ll put pedal to the medal and won’t get above a good 15...

Anyone here have a VQ40DE they want to part with?

2006 Off Road 187,500 miles. Suddenly my oil is disappearing,... sort of. I'm losing about 3 quarts every 10 days. I check more often but that's the easiest measurement. Background: Oil Pressure Sending Unit/Switch Gauge went bad in April. Replaced it and for the first time it is actually...

2005 Nissan Xterra s Night Armor Located in Colorado This thread is going to be slow and unexciting for quite a while but this is me starting my build thread, so far no suspension work besides just fixing things that break. Running 33s with no sway bars which actually drives great on the road...

Hey everyone, I have an 06 Xterra OR 6spd with 226,000KM. It suddenly has an oil pressure issue, which I'm guessing is the sensor but another issue has occurred at the same time. It get these occasional ticks under the hood on and off. It happens on acceleration through 1, 2, 3, 4 but it's...

Hi All, I purchased a 2013 Pro-4X 5AT last fall after being without a vehicle for some time. I had a first gen X in high school when I was younger, and was drawn back to the XTerra now as an adult. My 2013 has about 87k miles on it now (put about 4k on since purchasing it) and I recently had to...

Hey all, new to the forum and somewhat new to Xterra ownership. I’ve got an issue that has gone undiagnosed or unresolved at least from myself, my competent private mechanic, a couple of exhaust shops and of course the local stealership. I’ve got plenty of details to add if your kind enough to...

Hey all, So my 2008 with 92k miles has been giving me problems within the last few days. 3 days ago she wouldn't start. Enging was turning over as normal but it wouldn't ignite. Pumping the gas pedal didn't help. After 2 5s attempts, she finally ignited on the 3rd and ran like normal...

Hello, any suggestions on what’s causing this noise from the front driver area? First encountered it a year ago after parking unevenly in the alley, it used be a barely audible slow tick, went away for a year until recently, parked unevenly on crusty hardened mud for a few hours and the noise is...

Hey everyone, So the engine in my Xterra has 230k miles on it - I've got leaking valve covers, low oil pressure from a galley gasket, and a clicking noise that I think it related to my valve lashing. I have a spare VQ40 in the shop with 85k miles on it. It will be faster for me to just swap...
