    Need Advice on Next Mod - Switching Out a C200K with a M226 Axle Assy.

    Thanks Terry, it's obvious that based on the Seller's VIN no. on the Nissan Parts site that I'm dealing with someone who knows as little about his Differential and vehicle as I knew about mine until I asked for help on this Xterra site. He purchased it recently from a Salvage sale and with both...

    Need Advice on Next Mod - Switching Out a C200K with a M226 Axle Assy.

    I totally agree once I was able to use the seller's VIN and I went to NissanPartsDeal.com that "Prime" had mentioned but I'm still uncertain about a possibility of having different final gear ratio's between my C200K and the seller's. I was hoping that all C200K's would be the same ratio but...

    Need Advice on Next Mod - Switching Out a C200K with a M226 Axle Assy.

    Prime, thanks for the clarification. I pulled the VIN on the Nissan Parts Deal site as you did and see that the Final Drive Type is the C200K. Is there anywhere that I can go to nail down the actual Final Drive Ratio for the C200K Differential? I'm assuming that all C200K's would be the same...

    Need Advice on Next Mod - Switching Out a C200K with a M226 Axle Assy.

    TerryD, the seller just responded to me concerning his Off Road status for his Xterra. He sent me the attached Carfax that states "Off Road/S/SE" for his 2011 Xterra but this doesn't make a lot of sense based on what I've read on this forum today so I asked him to send me a video when he gets a...

    TerryD is there any data on the attached 2011 Door Sticker that would confirm the actual Differential it has?

    Need Advice on Next Mod - Switching Out a C200K with a M226 Axle Assy.

    TerryD I just took a pic of my 2008 door sticker and attached it on this reply. If you would like to see the one for the 2011 Xterra I'm getting the Differential from just let me know....

    Need Advice on Next Mod - Switching Out a C200K with a M226 Axle Assy.

    I just plugged in my 2008 Xterra X into thecarconnection.com and it showed: Final Drive Axle Ratio (:1) 3.13 so it would match the 4WD differential if I could ever find one but since his 2011 Xterra is an X trim package (based on his inside door sticker he posted with his VIN) I'm not sure...

    Need Advice on Next Mod - Switching Out a C200K with a M226 Axle Assy.

    So what I'm hearing is that there would be no way of finding a M226 differential on a 2WD Xterra and all 2WD Xterra's have a C200K differential so converting my C200K to a M226 as long as I'm staying with my 2WD is pretty much impossible...

    Need Advice on Next Mod - Switching Out a C200K with a M226 Axle Assy.

    Thanks for the feedback, I will get in touch with the seller and ask where he found his off-road package information that he advertised with this 2011 Xterra and as a quick check I will ask him to count the bolts on the cover... I was really hoping for the model M226 assy but if I understand...

    New to this forum but I love my 2008 Xterra X

    Thanks for your reply but is it due to the yoke bolting pattern on my current one with the C200K vs the M226 or maybe it's not strong enough for the limited slip rear end?

    Need Advice on Next Mod - Switching Out a C200K with a M226 Axle Assy.

    I have less than 92,000 miles on my 2008 Xterra X 2WD V6 but while installing new rear brakes my mechanic told me I had problems with my axle gears (they were making a clicking sound as he rolled the wheel) and said that sometime in the near future I would need to purchase a re-manufactured rear...

    New to this forum but I love my 2008 Xterra X

    I've lived in the good ol' South all my life, love to get outdoors and currently reside in Soddy Daisy, Tn. I was advised by my local Nissan parts guy to find an Xterra Forum and once there I should be able to find out about any modification I intend to do on my Xterra, so here I am and my first...
