The only thing they changed on the VQ40DE was a part on the intake... I can't remember if it was on the upper plenum or lower manifold, but it was sometime around 2008/2009. As far as the long block assembly, 2005-and-new Frontier/Xterra and 2005-2012 Pathfinder are all the same and will work.

ATK has a 2.5L for 2005 to 2008. Will this motor work in my 2009 frontier? The JEGS guy did not know. Thanks
