Hello,
After a couple of very busy months at work, I can post
what I've found.
I do hear a bubbling sound under the Passenger side of
the dashboard..... not a clue what that is...
Just grasping at straws....
Thanks

It's probably air in the cooling system... not good.
Most modern cars and trucks have air-dams under the front bumper. They do several good things including running cooler on the highway. Make yours bigger!
I did on my jeep and it really helped.
Good luck.. Don S..

Hello,
After a couple of very busy months at work, I can post
what I've found.
Even without the thermostat I am overheating. It just
pushes the liquids to the over fill bottle on the side
of the radiator. It does not sucks it back to the
radiator.
Now, as I understand, if I have no Tstat, the water /
anti freeze, should just continuously flow, but it
would appear that something is clogging it.
I can drive in the city traffic all day, no issue.
As soon as I have about 30 minutes of highway driving,
at about 75 mph and start to slow down, the temp
starts to go up, and I have anti freeze all over the
block from the over fill bottle.
So far;
New Hoses. (from Nissan)
New radiator. (from Nissan)
New Clutch fan. (from Nissan)
No Thermostat. (did not make any difference when I had
it). it was from Nissan
I do hear a bubbling sound under the Passenger side of
the dashboard..... not a clue what that is...
Also, about a year ago I had one of those windshield
Displays that connects by way of the ODBC plug, could
that have corrupted the fronti software???
Just grasping at straws....
Thanks

Went through the same thing with my frontier years ago I was told the
head gasket was my problem I didn't want to face that reality by the
time I spent money on crap not fixing it I could have changed the head
gasket I finally done it and never had any more issues until
I flipped it and totaled me frontier it drove fine after I flippers it back
over
It's sucks but I'd change the head gasket
