Sounds about right. I also have an '04 MTX with the 4.9 gears. IIRC 75mph was about 3400 RPM. I went with 235/85R16 Falken Wildpeak tires This dropped freeway RPMs by about 200ish. Basically are about 1" bigger diameter than OEM. I think they are a 10 or 11 ply truck tire that can handle 80...

I don't see any local junk yards I can get this hardware from and I don't want to waste hours and hours looking for a couple bucks of hardware so I'm just ordering the OEM tensioner assembly... :( IF anyone is needs it, the OEM assembly is part 11945-4S101 which was superseded by 11945-4S102

Today my water pump / power steering belt tensioner escaped from under the hood. As such I'm missing the washers/spacers/bushings or whatever is behind the nut that holds the pulley on. Does anyone have pictures of these parts so I know what I am looking for. The rear dash cam caught the...

Update: It appears that the fact that this hose is no longer obtainable is a non-issue. The rubber bits can be easily removed and replaced with a bit of hose and some hose clamps for less than $20. My high pressure hose sprung a leak near the end that attaches to the fuel injection rail...

My high pressure fuel hose from the body to the fuel rail on the engine has sprung a leak. Part# 16440-4S101 which looks like this: It appears this hose is obsolete unobtanium. Any suggestions on how I can fabricate a replacement or where I might find a new replacement that my Google-fu has...

I ordered an Lokka back in august. Looking around the net they don't seem to respond to any inquiries or deliver products paid for. I took my front diff out in anticipation of receiving the Lokka and I'm growing tired of waiting to get my Xterra back together again. Are there any other front...

After having multiple starters die due to the rear of the oil pan leaking on my '04 it was time to drop the oil pan and reseal it before replacing the new starter that the oil leak had killed. This How-To is a work and progress. I will be updating this thread with pictures and eventually this...

So I got new calipers and bled the brakes. They still drag more than I think they really should. The wheels do not spin freely when the wheel is lifted off the ground. I can move them by hand with a little force but I cannot get them to continue spinning no matter how hard I try to spin them...

Yep that is the problem. After further investigation it appears to be seized caliper. I pushed the drivers side pistons back in with the usual effort so I didn't think it was calipers. I should have tried to push in the pistons on the passenger side. the bottom one was seized up good. took...

I notice there are not return springs on the front brakes of the 1st gen Xterras. Mine are dragging quite heavily and I don't see how to remedy this without adding return springs. Anyone else deal with this? IF so what was your solution?

I should have searched a bit more before posting. I initially couldn't find it in the parts fiche. Once I found it, searching the part# I could find it. If anyone else is looking the MTX drain plug is 32103-U8410. I got mine for a little over $16 shipped. FYI you also need a 13mm square...

Does anyone know where I can buy a manual transmission drain plug? I believe it is the same as the transfer case drain plug. Better yet does anyone know what the threads are for the drain plug? I measured the fill plug and the od of the threads was about 26mm. I can't believe It looks like...

I have only done a bit of googling and am just starting to look into this. I have 236k miles on my new to me '04 that I am going to assume has never had the rear lube changed. The LSD functions barely. I figure if I am going to change the fluid I should check the LSD friction plates. I've...

So my brake booster vacuum hose is pretty well used up. I went looking for a replacement and it seems like the molded hose was discontinued some time ago. I believe the hose ID is about 3/8" or maybe 9mm? The few places that still have new old stock floating around want highway robbery prices...

I'm replacing shot rubber bits around the engine on my '04. I"m not paying 20-30 dollars a piece for the OEM two elbows and two bits of hose. I measured and it looks like a 5/8" ID hose will fit. Problem is I cannot find oil resistant molded elbows or for that matter even straight hose. I am...

Meh. Airbags are overrated... Safety 3rd LOL

I need a new steering wheel for my '04. Looking for what alternatives I can search for at the junk yard. I'm pretty sure the same vintage Frontier would be the same. Does anyone know if a second gen xterra steering wheel will fit in a first gen? Even if it would fit, I'd imagine the cruise...

I know compustar has MTX compatible remote car starters. Anyone on here install a MTX compatible remote car starter? I"m looking for recommendations. Yes I know you can make any remote starter work but I usually leave mine in gear and that would eventually end badly. I'm talking about the...

Not sure what the problem was but I reached into the dash to "help" the linkage move while rotating the knob. Whatever was making it stick broke free and the door control knob functioned again. I simply lubed up the linkages and am putting it back together.

So my mode door control knob is stuck on vent/floor. I've tried to trouble shoot myself, The climate control knob assembly seems to be in working order so I followed the cable down to where the mode door is and there is a bunch of plastic linkage I can't make heads nor tails of. I'm guessing...
