Anyone have any experience with a 2014 Nissan Xterra? Might pick one up, my truck is starting to give me trouble and it’s not really worth messing with anymore.

find a better shop, all codes are logged even soft codes like this one. it's probably an O2 sensor starting to send bad #s

Thats pretty salty for a street truck. I've noticed a huge uptick in people wanting shortwides in the last year or so.

You certainly improved the look of the front end of that Ford. Those blue stripes were awful.

So the base model truck that it is, it came with a black 2 bar grill. Guy that had it before me put the paint matched 2 bar grill like comes on xlts etc.

I switched it to the STX grill, but really the biggest improvement was going from the base model, 1985, only can see 5 feet in front of you halogen POS headlights to these Alpharex LED headlights. Huge upgrade~

Buehler445 06-22-2021 08:30 PM

Yeah. LED conversions are the answer. But you have to be careful. There are some shit LED conversions out there.

My work wagon has LED. I have no idea how I operated a motor vehicle before LED.

My sprayer has LED that will light up 50 acres like ****ing day. LOL. I’m spoiled.

I'm 90% sure of the answer but could use some confirmation.

A friend of mine's car was dead the last night so I gave her jumpstart. It's started as soon as I hooked the cables up and turned the ignition.

However, after about 20 minute the lights dimmed, blinked, went off, came back on, etc when in idle but good when giving gas.

She turned it off after around 45 minutes and it was dead again.

Alternator?

Buehler445 07-17-2021 10:59 AM

Alternator.

Takes way more power to turn the engine with a starter than it does to make a tiny little spark.

If it wouldn’t even click I’d start with the battery. But it’s probably alternator. AutoZone type stores should be able to test both.
