I was able to find a thread that has the answer. As posted by an Admin in another thread smj999smj » Tue Aug 18, 2020 6:22 pm Yes, if you find a VQ40DE from a Frontier it will bolt right in! They are all the same and you can find them in: NISSAN FRONTIER 2005-2019 NISSAN NV1500 2012-2018 NISSAN NV25...
The 197k engine in my 2005 is done for. It eats coolant and oil in large amounts. I read on another thread that I can use any VQ40DE engine from 2005 to 2019 I have found a 2018 replacement engine I just want to confirm with someone who knows about these engines. If I get the 18 will it be a drop in...
I made some progress today. I ran a hose from the Nipple on the split to the rear heater core and let that run into the reservoir for a while while revving the engine. I then capped it off and then started slowly adding coolant onto the rexivor. it would bubble a little every so often then the level...
Well heck. I sure hope that is not the case. My temp needle does not go to the middle, it hangs pretty low. I found changing that thermostat to be quite a PITA, took me way longer than I thought it should. My next step will be to use my IR thermometer and get some temp readings around the engine com...
I also forgot to mention that I also bled the system by putting a hose on the nipple on the heater hose junction on the passenger side and running the hose into the coolant reservoir while letting the truck run for a while.
2006 I bought it this year. it had Zero heat when I got it. I have changed the thermostat I have bleed it 2x (parked front up a hill, ran it at 2,500 RPM for 10 mins with the cap off the coolant reservoir I have some heat, it is not hot at all. I have the rear heat as well which gets the same level ...
Thank you for the info. That all makes sense. I was hopeful that I could swap in a newer motor cheaply but it is what it is. I will figure out what I am going to do and come back here. Would love to know if the 3.5 from a Maxima will work. I can buy a wrecked Maxima for $500 After selling a couple o...
It was def leaking from that connector. It dripped steady even with the engine off. I took it off, ditched the thin metal gasket, put a thin layer of Ultra Black on it. Put it back together and filled it back up. Wife drove it around today and it hasn't leaked a drop. Next onto the valve cover gaske...
