Search Results for ‘smod’

I recall I asked this a while ago but for the life of me and this search function I can’t find that post. I know any foreign liquid, namely water and antifreeze, will eat the adhesive on the clutch pack material. I have read and seen others when rebuilding not just replacing the clutch packs...

Good Evening All!! Just picked up a 2006 base model with 150k on the dial and am shooting for the fences. I am from Southern Illinois and looking for the tools recommended when replacing the timing chains and guides, is there a tool rental? Just purchase new radiator and hoses, to avoid the...

So, I need to thank those of you who replied to my previous post here (especially @XT2015). I've been meaning to get in here and post this for a few weeks now, but just haven't gotten the chance until today. Here's a short story: After a while of not getting around to replacing the radiator...

Hi folks, I'm debating an Xterra purchase in the near future (previously owned an '00 and then later an '02) and I've been reading up on the SMOD issues. Very scary. From my research, it seems that this is a 2011 and earlier, 2nd gen only issue. Is that correct? Are there any documented SMOD...

So I recently bought a 2006 Xterra, and I was wondering if it better to bypass the Trans cooler and get a secondary trans cooler, or to replace the radiator with a "Koyo" radiator to prevent the SMOD. This are the two solutions I found through my research. I understand that with the secondary...
