Yes. I have a 2001 and would only replace it with maybe a 2002! Hopefully Nissan will take care of what sounds like a rare example with bcollins3. If you read these posts for a week you will see we are more than happy, we are sick.
Also, there is I believe one tire that goes out of balance when it heats up (warps out of shape). When I first start driving at 70 MPH when its cold, there is absolutely no vibration. But once it warms up, I feel a slight vibration appear. The vibration is either in the steering wheel or the floor of the truck depending on how I've rotated the tires.
There is a small chance that it could be a rim and not a tire, but I'm hoping its just a tire.
Oh well, guess I'll just tough it out until I need new tires and replace them with better ones...
A: Only by stomping on the gas.
Q:Why did your milage drop?
A:'Cuz you're stomping on the gas.
Don't know about muddy snow, but I know you shouldn't eat yellow snow.

We did have to use the mini-Hi-Lift jack to lift the corner of the rocking chair while an R/C Chevy Avalanche used its mini-winch to pull the X out from under. Careful winching got it onto all 4 wheels again. I would also note that the X obviously has stock tires, The Avalanche has Super Swampers. Fortunately, no one was hurt, only the cats were terrorized.
On a different note, got the rear deflector for the X, seems to keep the muck off, but the roads haven't been overly wet to compare. Its a relatively easy install, requires an extra pair of hands, and a little guts for drilling holes. Nissan Canada sucks again cuz they don't bother to give us the template and proper screws for the install.
1. I am going to offer the dealer 2% over edmund's invoice which totals 23,78.53. Is that unrealistic.
2. The financing for maxima is so good 6.9% interest. What kind of financing have you gotten throught the nissan dealers? I have decent credit.
Thank you and any other advice is welcomed!
first time buyer here
The Maxima has low financing because they aren't selling. Call around to Credit Unions in your area. Most are open to anyone now. They tend to have the lowest rates.

Kidding, kidding, don't bite.
What type paint did you use for your silver R/C? I have the silver ice Xterra so I would like to paint my R/C to match instead of the yellow! Would model paint work you think?
Thanks!
The hardest part to changing the oil is removing the skid plate to get to it.. maybe a little more trouble than a car, but no biggie..
Make a note, here's how to change the oil easily...
There are 6 bolts holding the skid plate (splash guard) in place. Remove all but the center rear one. The center rear need only be loosened a few turns, the plate is notched to slide off of it, this way you don't have to juggle the plate in mid-air.
There are 6 plastic pins holding the rubber side flaps to the plate, ignore them. Pull the flaps from the frame by popping the large grommet that hold each to the frame.
There ya go, filter is right there at the bottom, oil drain is another foot or so back at the bottom too.

I looked at www.tycorc.com in hopes of ordering one direct, but didn't see them at all there. Also, do they only come in yellow? I have a Denim Blue '00 XE and would like a mini-me to match
A can of model paint should correct the color match, I think some have mentioned using tubes of color match paint for their X to paint the R/C.. but not sure on it..
I can't believe no one has posted for two days.
This is the first time I have used this board, so please be patient. I have a 2000 Xterra XE 4x4 and it runs great.
However I here a lot about a R/C that people are buying.
My questions are... Where do you buy it? What is it? What is its main purpose? Also what is a ballpark figure for purchasing the item.
Also I am thinking of using a synthetic, rather than 10W30 oil. Any thoughts on switching ?
I live in South Texas if that makes a difference on what type of oil to use.
Thanks.
vyker, the R/C can be purchased only at Target stores. To date, no one that I know of has reported seeing them at any other store. In fact, we were talking about the R/C just a few posts up. Scroll up a few posts and you'll see several posts covering the R/C topic.
Several people, myself included, use synthetic rather than standard oil in the X. I have noticed that with synthetic the clunking noise that comes from the engine for a few seconds on cold starts is no longer there. Dealer told me that no harm would come to the X if standard oil were to be used and the clunking is normal, but I'd rather not take a chance with extra wear and tear.
Good Luck
P.S. -- If you choose spell check and decide to reedit the message some more, READ THROUGH AGAIN because the stupid spell checker replaces words it does not know with the default words in the drop down boxes without asking. I really hate this thing now.
You play with it. You crash it into things. You terrify animals and small humans with it. They cost about $40 at Target stores. Buy one. You will like it.
I can't believe the drop off of posts since the format was changed. It's annoying, but it isn't worth staying away from!
I don't suppose you caught the tags on the one you saw, mine are OFFROAD, can't miss 'em
