Hello everyone,
I guess this has to be my first post according to the forum rules. I'm a die hard Toyota person at heart but I decided to give Nissan a shot. Just bought a 2000 Frontier XE Base w/KA24DE & Auto trans a week ago. Seems to be a good running pickup so far, there's a lot of little things I will do to help improve the truck.
I have to say that although I trust Nissan there's a few things about this setup that's a bit odd. Not sure why the engineers decided to use the type of circular air filter as if this truck had a carburetor. Why not use the same setup as the 240's since they use the KA24DE too? I attempted to change the PCV valve the other day, after spending a few minutes trying to find it. I thought the one on my 4runner was terrible...This one has got to be the worst placement design I have ever seen.
Not sure what the engineer was thinking about this one. :thatswck:
I'll try to get at it this weekend after an oil change since the filter has to come off for this.
So far so good though. I'm sure I'll be asking a lot of questions on here when I start working on it.
Any tips or tricks about this truck that you can recommend? Is there a lot of accessories available for the trucks...intake, exhaust, etc.?
Thanks for Looking...
