Component: ENGINE
Summary: 2005 FRONTIER WITH QR25DE ENGINE; WHINE NOISE FROM ENGINE WHEN COLD
I continue to enjoy it on a daily basis as it handles easily in traffic and passes slower moving vehicles with ease. The Rockford-Fosgate with Sirius adds to the driving experience. It gets its first service at the dealer next week and I don't expect it to have any problems. If I'd tried to take a Honda Ridgeline into the GW National Forest, I'd have to stay on the maintained gravel roads. (See Edmunds long-term test on the Ridgeline).

If anyone wanted to know.
1. I found a set of instructions on-line at Lee Auto parts, and they had the best price for the receivers too, $327 delivered for tuner, antenna, and bracket. Here's a link: http://www.leeparts.com/2005frontier.html
2. When you activate the account (on-line at XM site), go for a drive to give the activation time to work. I went to bed and then in the morning had to go to the WWW-site to "refresh" the link. Since then, no troubles at all.
3. If you do the installyourself, I would recommend a rubber spatular from the kitchen to push the antenna wire up under the headliner. It worked great for me.
4. Don't forget to disconect the battery before plugging things in. Apparently, it can screw up the computer on-board if it's "on" when you plug in the radio. I don't know for sure how crucial this is, but it seemed like good advice to me! I read it on-line somewhere.
this will help me bigtime!!!
Thanks again

I am waiting on a couple of fobs that I bought on e-bay that have the fcc id kbrastu15 (this is the fcc id that has been suggested in this forum, and is the fcc id listed on e bay for 2005 frontiers), but the fcc id on the fob the nissan dealer provided is different. That fcc id is cwtwb1u415.
When the dealership programmed the new fob, they actually used some kind of scanner to get the job done.
I will post my results when the e-bay fobs show up.
So whats everyone getting far as MPG lately,I'm getting between 20*21
is anyone getting better,I just put 1thousnd Mi. on it today,rides like a champ.

I also heard that clink just recently @ about 7200 miles log in. You could hear just as you accelerate forward coming off the reverse position roughly 5 mph, very noticiable. Please let me know of any remidies.
rgferolino :confuse:
keep you guy posted.
Does this sound like a good deal? There only other CC 4x4 with the same options, except the airbags, in my area was quoted at $27,485.
The difference is only $767. The first dealer is closer to my house and since I will be transporting my children in this truck I like the idea of side airbags.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
IMO, at this stage of the game, the deal is pretty decent but not great. Odds are that, in Oct 05 and with the 06's out, if you don't buy it, a loaded vehicle like that may not go anywhere, so it depends on how motivated the dealer is. My guess is at the end of the month, he might be able to "find" a couple of hundred $$$ more, but do you care that much?
Given that the 06's are out, have some different colors, already have a $500 rebate, and will give you an extra year on depreciation, I'd probably try to negotiate more on the '05, but then I'm kind of a grinder and you may not want to. Also, invoice on the air bags is about $475, so I'm not really sure why there's a difference of $767.
Should this be on "Prices Paid"?
I am also going to trade in my '97 Nissan Pick-Up. I plan on getting a good price for it or walking away from the deal so I think I can still make it better.
Thanks for your input.
so you better think twice about trading it in unless they're giving you more then you hope.

1) Sunroof - Is it power or manual? Do think its worth the money?
2) Manual vs. Automatic - Is the towing capacity the same with the 6speed as it is with the automatic? How about the gas mileage?
Thanks!

and a potential future issue of leakage.
Those that like the sunroof swear by it and those of us who don't gripe because we have
to take it to get some of the other things we like. I bought an LE KC instead of an LE CC over this very issue only it was because I did not want a roof rack.
My selection guide shows the towing capacity of a CC to be 6300 pounds, if you have
a 4X4 it is 6100 pounds. There is no differential shown for the standard versus auto-
matic transmission.
The same selection guide shows V-6 4X2 manual and automatic transmissions to both get 17/21 mpg. If you get a 4X4 model the manual still gets 17/21, but the automatic
only gets 15/20.
There is not a lot of difference in the 2 and driving style can easily wipe out that differ-
ence between 2 different drivers. You need to get the transmission that best fits your
needs.
Good luck with your purchase and you should be happy with either transmission.

txsfireman, could you point me to where you found that information. Thanks for the help.
whats everyone getting on MPGS
I did have trouble finding what I was looking for. Nissan apparently did not produce that many with the sunroof package which includes the side airbags. I was lucky that I found a dealer in the DC metro area that was willing to hunt for one and found it being built and scheduled for shipment to a dealer in NJ. He then worked out a trade. Whole process took about six weeks until I was able to pickup the truck.
Remember that with the traction package, the primary useful element in snow will be the limited slip differential and of course, 4 wheel drive. Need to be very careful with the locking differential as it will disengage the anti-lock brakes, needed in snow and ice. I've never needed it and I spent a lot of time off road in the national forest. I do not find the hill descent very useful. Tried it a couple times, but just don't need it that often.
Overall, the truck is great. Please see my other posts for details.

Thanks to all that passed on advice on this subject.
Is the cover locking is what I meant to say.
Looking for a hard cover? Go to www.kcovers.com,total cost $608.99 for 2005 truck and it folds 3 times. Check it the site and see for yourself. I had mine two months ago and lovin it.
