This is the way! I love my Gen 2 Frontier. It's a comfy daily, that's great on long trips.
But I'd rather drive the 03 off road.

Jumped into the X, after shopping Yesterday..
Insert key.
Tried to turn. hmm. No turn.
will not turn. WTF. stuck in the Key exit mode.. how every you call it, when you want to remove key.
place foot on brake.. No key turn.. Nadda.
Check shifter, Make sure in Park. GOOD.
In Flat Parking lot.. no Gravity stress..
ugh.. fiddle fiddle. Some how it fixed itself.. ODD?..
not sure why... Steering wheel Lock Pressure?.
Did check my key to make sure no Burr's, or stuck gummy Bears on key...
This morning and evening.. No issues.. just that one time.. Now, got's me baffled why..
Did not wiggle Steering wheel.. now that I think about it.. I should have also wiggled steering wheel as another check point.

Ordered the other 5 coils for the X this evening. That was a chunk of change. I went with NGK. 3yr warranty on the VS 1 year on Hitachi. All 6 will match. And they have NGK written on top of them because I'm 12....

$250?!?

Mine was $212 during the Black Friday Rip Off Event. YMMV!!! Also, the socket head cap screws should be 3/4" instead of the existing 5/8" Dave used. Oh, yeah... they ARE made with titanium, stainless and aluminum, so they CAN handle water better than the old ones.

OK. I'll have to see how I shape up in January. Thanks for the info.

My 2003 got new front seat covers, and my 2013 got an oil change.
The regular ones he uses are around $80 each on a bulk purchase discount.
- Location
- Rochester, NY
He's now working on getting a bulk rate for the E3's because the original's build quality has dropped since pandemic. poorer material quality and quicker rust (for us in salt belt) deterioration. My latch pins wore out in about a year. Anyone who plans to replace theirs with the original Southco latches should be aware. E3's are definitely built solid, and the spring lock pin is actually not too bad. I can even unlatch with one hand using my thumb on the ring. Time will tell on durability though with N.E. winter usage.

Noticed the other day, While stopped at Red light.. Heater Vent air flow Temp dropped! . But returned hot again, when Driving off. hmm.. Either pump going out? Or just low on Coolant..
Today Checked coolant. The Reserve looked just under Half. Added Cup or two of the Green/Water goo. Checked main Radiator, could see the Alum cell's. Looked low.
added some More.. As not to over fill it....
We shall See monday, if temps remain steady.

You'll need to bleed it at the heater connections. Be careful, the plastic snaps off.

Darn.. was hoping to avoid that... Might find steep hill, and park in a slope, allow gravity to burp it.. and hope for the best.

Its always worked for me to just point the nose uphill and bleed that way

The problem is the small hose that runs under the fuse box gets an air bubble and won't allow flow.
This will help:
1. Pinch de-gass bottle hose off top of radiator closed
2. Squeeze top radiator hose
3. Unpinch de-gassing bottle line from radiator, pinch small hose off top of heater tee closed.
4. Release top radiator hose
5. Repeat till you feel like the hose under the fuse box is properly purged.

I'm aware.
My statement was to show that $250 just isn't that much compared to the Southco shiat that's been available.

Heater seems to be working again.. slight change in Speed, and air flow.. Will have to keep eye on it.. and check coolant levels again..
long as I got heat.. to defrost windows.. I be happy.

I shined the plastics on both '03 and '13. My neighbors thought I was crazy, but they're dry, and I don't like X with painted plastics.

Oil change, before taking a trip, both diffs serviced, rear diff cover removed and potential rust problem taken care of (which also got rid of minor water seepage into the diff) AND new connector for MAF sensor. I had been getting P0101 errors almost every 2-3 days. No vacuum leaks, new Hitachi sensor, so connector was prime suspect confirmed by shop.

Tires Rotated, Front to back back to front.. Check PSI.. 82.5 PSI? WTF.. test again. 68.00 PSI.. Grab another gauge. 33.5. Confirmed with another gauge.
Dam Electronic Crap. Tossed Digital to the side.. Finished up tires.. for grins, grabbed the Digital gauge that was sitting for 30 minutes.. Now shows correct pressure. Hmmm.. Gonna Install new batteries.

Looks like it is only for left turns.
not a damn thing, soon as the title gets here I'll go put a power steering line on, pray I have the skid plate you remove to get to the oil filter in the shop somewhere, get the windshield replaced, get some tires put on those methods and register it
