Thanks,

Didn't have a chance to try it off-road but I can see it getting 11mpg or less during some serious off-roading.
I'm in the SF Bay Area and am shocked at how much gas I am guzzling.
You need to immediately check the other wheels. If you can't remove them with the lug nut wrench that came with the truck, they're probably overtorqued. Overtorquing can also warp the brake rotors. Scary stuff -- thank heaven you stopped safety! :surprise:
It goes off within 5 minutes of me locking the truck w/ the key fob. It will go off every 5-7 minutes, or maybe every 10 minutes. In recent weeks it will go off within 2 minutes of locking the truck. It is definitely getting worse.
I no longer lock the truck, because I don't want to upset my neighbors with the constant alarms.
I took the truck to mechanic who didn't know how to lower the sensitivity. I asked him is he could simply disable the alarm, but he wasn't sure about that either.
Is there a way to just disable the alarm function without affecting anything else? I would just as soon be able to lock the car without the alarm feature. Or, how does one go about decreasing the sensitivity of the car alarm?
Thanks in advance!
I go so frustrated with mine, instead of tinkering with the dial settings, I disconnected the battery and pulled the siren out and clipped the wires. Now it sometimes doesn't want to crank if I don't hit "unlock" on the key fob or press the "secret" override button that mine has, so I really can't recommend this method. But it did shut it up!
Good luck - durn alarms can really drive you boinkers.
Ugghh.
I know that it'd make only $3-4 difference per fuel up but it all adds up.
I was so welcome to see your clutch problem, and as many others stated, it can't be my driving habilts as you have driven mannual your whole life. Me too. I find my 2005 Frontier clutch is bad at 47,000 miles. The dealer says it is not covered unless they open it up (with my authorization for $400 if not covered) and it is a spring.For a truck that is supposed to be rated for a towing capacity of 5000 punds plus what a buch a nonesense. My dealer has reffered me to nissan. I was wondering how you made out with your situation.
Thank you, judy
i have an 08 6 speed and I can verify that the parking brake is an old fashioned handle between the seats (thank god!).
Can somebody tell me where 2009 XTerra is ? I don't see it at Nissan dealerships here in Houston. Isn't it due ? It was supposed to be released for sale back in October 2008 as far as I know !? Wanted to take a look at the new 2009 model and drive it, but where the hell is it ???
thanks!
They must be rare though - I only see one 2009 model within 200 miles of Boise right now.
I don't see anyone posting about buying an '09 over in the Nissan Xterra Prices Paid & Buying Experiences discussion.
Any Nissan salespeople here with the scoop? Did we miss an announcement about the release date?
I am hoping you had a positive outcome. It would be great to know so I could use your experience to help me.
Thanks
When I went to see the '09 at my dealer, the salesguy was first and foremost interested in where I worked and how long I'd worked there. I thought it odd and only afterward did it occur to me that he was checking my potential creditworthyness before spending time with me! Sheeesh.
My wife is interested in a 6-Speed 4x2 in S Trim. The downside of Xterra is that it's a bit wide for our garage, it's fuel economy isn't all that attractive and it's priced at a level that is more than we wish to pay. If March '09 brings better incentives, we might take a 2nd look.

I got Off Road edition - it comes with nice set of shocks. Probably not quite as good as bilsteins but they'll do for now I will consider replacing them with something better when it's time to get them replaced though.
