    I have a 2008 Nissan Xterra with an overheating problem. I’ve replaced the thermostat, radiator, and temperature sensor. Mechanic says water pump looks okay. The car runs fine for the first 20 minutes, but after that the temperature gauge hits 2 o’clock. The AC will then start to run warm, and I...

    Okay guys, so I’m mostly asking here because I believe that nissans have been reasonably the most reliable vehicles I’ve invested in over the last 10 years. That, & at this point; all the money spent along with a 12-14 hour Saturday drained into it… I just really wanted to ask you all before...

    Hey all, I just bought an 03 X. Love it, but I do have one problem. It keeps overheating. As long as I am doing under 60 all is well. Everytime I go over 60 it starts to overheat. I have never had this problem with any vehicle. Any help would be awesome. Thanks in advance.
