2000 Nissan Frontier 4X4
I recently took my 2000 Nissan Frontier 4X4 with 79,000 mi in for some
minor problem and the Nissan dealership told me I should have had the timing chain changed at 60,000. Is this normal for this engine (V-6)or are they just trying to get some work. I haven' had any problems relating to this - apparantly it's to prevent major damage later if the chain fails. |

I had a 2000 model Xterra, and now have a 2002 model, both of which are based on the same drivetrain (3.3L V-6, correct?). Both manuals suggest the the timing *belt* (not chain) be replaced at 105,000 miles. Sounds like your dealership needs some extra money, and work, to start the New Year off right. When you do have it done, make su 1) You have another dealer do it. 2) You have the other dealer also replace the water pump at the same time, since replacing it involves removing the timing belt, anyway. -- Malcolm |
