Morning all. Headed to pick up my new Xterra shortly. Going from 2003 SE to a 2008 xterra. Not sure of the trim. I'm impressed with the power of the newer 4.0L and the nicer interior. Super stoked. Anything basic I should know about the newer X? Simple mods I could do today? Ill post some pics later! Thanks!
Have an 08, only 64k on it. Look out for SMOD, that's where the tranny cooler in the rad leaks into the tranny and wipes it out. It's a problem with a run of rads used in 05-09.
If it hasn't happened yet, a quick 20 minute preventive measure is to by pass the trans cooler in the rad by just moving a couple rubber hoses. If you tow then the extra cooling of the trans by the rad is needed so a new $100 rad should be installed.
