Temperature Gauges

Is it just me or do the engine and transmission gauges run a little high? What about towing? Anybody have any problems? Thanks...Jimbo

I've been driving Nissans for 20 years and have NEVER had one overheat. Even towed 6,500 pounds over the Contential Divide with a supercharged Frontier and the temp guage never moved. You shouldn't have any problems.

Enjoy the Ride

Both engine and transmission gauges read about mid- range on the scale, after about 10 miles of travel. No load, also I don't know exactly what the temps. are. Engine temp reaches 1/2 way on scale very soon.

That is most likely the normal operating temp.

Mine are running just under half way on both the engine temp and tranny gauge. This is normal. Nissan has 2 pairs of marks on their gauges. The outer ones and then an inner pair. As long as during normal operation, the needle stays between the two inner marks you are fine.
