Brakes are fine, and I am still going 340 miles before my gas light comes on. I did replace the OEM radio and what a difference that made. I change the oil every 3000-4000 miles using conventional oil. I am going to replace the air filter (third time) with a genuine Nissan filter. David

Hey David,

Sound's like your Frontier is doing fine.

Do you have the V6 with Auto Transmission?  I'm pretty sure that you do with a CC LWB.

If so did you do the Coolant Bypass or have a New Radiator Installed;  I'm Asking because many of the V6 AT's from '05 thru '10, had defective Radiator's, which ruptured and allowed the Engine Coolant to Mix with the AT Fluid.

You probably allready knew about this,, but in case you didn't;  from what I've read, putting in a New Radiator is the Best Thing to do, before the Coolant Mixes with the AT Fluid and ruin's the Transmission.

If you talk with Your Service Manager, he may be able to get Nissan to reimburse you for the cost.

Pardon me,, if you allready have taken measure's to address this, but in case you didn't know, I wanted to try and help you to prevent a major repair expense.

Hey David,

Good to hear that you are a Proactive Owner.  Preventive Service is the best thing to do IMO.

I had a '93 Hardbody KC AT 2wd, that I sold when I got a new '13 KC.  When I sold the '93,, it still had the original Pad's and Shoe's @ 176K mile's, and they still had more mile's left out of them.

I try to be easy on the Gas and Brake's, and hope that I'll get the same service out of the '13 Pad's.

Good Luck
