Expert Answers about Nissan Frontier


  • Installing the Curt Echo and ETBC7 Kit On a 2015 Honda Pilot
  • If you will be using the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 then the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit for Trailer Brake Controller Installation part # ETBC7 is exactly what you need. In regards to installing this, all you will need to do is run the black wire that comes with the kit from the black wire on the back of the 7-way up to the vehicle's battery with the 30 amp circuit breaker in between and then ground the white wire from the back of the 7-way to a bare metal surface...

  • How to Choose Winch Capacity and Parts Needed for Quick Connect Winch Wiring
  • Long story short, that's not going to work for you even with a double line pull using a snatch block like the # CU881079. In reality, you need at least 1.5x the GVWR of your vehicle when it comes to winch capacity. The # BDW10044 I mentioned as a better choice would be the bare minimum you'd be able to get away with and still be able to recover your 2019 Nissan Frontier from a situation that required a winch. The 6000-lb capacity ComeUp # CU854768 is not going to work with your 4700-lb...

  • How Does a Transmission Cooler Install on a 2007 Nissan Frontier
  • On a transmission cooler like # D12902 or any for a 2007 Nissan Frontier, the new cooler is a supplemental unit. The fluid will flow from the transmission, to the factory cooler in the radiator, out of the radiator, into the new cooler, then back to the transmission. In some cases you can use a cooler to bypass the factory cooler but you would have to block off the factory inlet/outlet cooler ports on the radiator. Also a larger and more efficient cooler should be used. I have included...

  • Installing a Trailer Connector and Brake Controller on a 2010 Nissan Frontier
  • The trailer wiring harness that you will want for your 2010 Nissan Frontier is the Tow Ready T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, # 118266. This kit gives you all of the necessary harnesses and relays that you will need for a fully functioning 7-way trailer connector except for the brake controller. I have attached the installation instructions for this kit for you to check out. Once you have this kit installed, you will need a brake controller and a brake controller wiring adapter. For a...

  • Can 20 Amp Fuse Replace 40 Amp Breaker on ETBC7L Installation
  • You can use that wire, but you will want to install the 40 amp breaker that came with your # ETBC7L. The Echo # C51180 won't pull that much power but the combination of the brake controller and the trailer would cause your 20 amp fuse to blow.

  • What Holds the Sides of Roll Up Tonneau Covers to the Bed Rails of a Truck
  • The sides of roll up tonneau covers like the part # 834532006823 that you referenced are typically sealed to the truck bed rails with Velcro. But what mainly keeps the sides of the cover down is the amount of tension in the cover that is created between the front mount of the cover and the latching system at the rear of the truck bed. The cover is so taut that the sides would not lift up once the cover is latched properly.

  • SuperSprings Slide Forward on Leaf Spring Pack
  • It sounds like the hold down clamp (see photo) has loosened which has then allowed the SuperSprings Suspension Stabilizer and Sway Control Kit part # SSA1MTKT to shift forward on your 2015 Nissan Frontier. In order to fix this you will want to loosen the two nuts at the bottom of the clamp and then shift the spring back into position while tightening the nuts back down. This should keep the spring in place but if it does not please let me know and I would be happy to let you know what options...

  • Recovery Winch to Pull 2019 Nissan Frontier Pro4x
  • I have a solution for your, but it looks like your 2019 Nissan Frontier Pro4x has a weight between 4,414 and 4,567 lbs and the ComeUp Off-Road Winch # CU854768 is only recommended for recovery use on vehicles with a GVWR of up to 4000-lbs. I would instead recommend using something like the Bulldog # BDW10044 which is recommended for recovery use with vehicles up to 5333-lbs GVWR. Since this winch does not come with a mounting plate, you'll want to use the Bulldog Winch Receiver Mounting...

  • Trailer Running Lights Relay Location on 2013 Nissan Frontier
  • Trailer running lights not working with certain Nissan vehicles is a common problem with an easy fix. There is a relay for the trailer running light circuit that is located in the fuse box (in the cab). If that relay is missing or no longer functions then it can be replaced with one of the blue relays in the Curt Relay Kit # C57000. The relay of the running light circuit on your 2013 Nissan Frontier is in the relay harness behind the passenger floor board kick panel. If you check out...

  • Installing Derale Transmission Cooler to Replace OEM Cooler on 2007 Nissan Frontier SE
  • The Derale transmission coolers we sell are designed more as a supplemental cooler that is meant to augment the factory transmission cooler portion of the radiator, not replace it entirely. If you are experiencing the common problem with the radiator leaking causing the engine coolant contaminating the transmission fluid, your best bet really would be to have the original radiator replaced. I did a Google search using the keywords Nissan Radiator Problem and found that Nissan has extended...

  • Installation a 4-Way Flat Trailer Wiring Harness on a 2006 Nissan Frontier
  • There are 2 different wiring situations for the 2006 Nissan Frontier. To determine which is the correct harness, you will need to determine whether or not your Frontier has a factory tow package. The Plug-N-Tow Wiring Harness, # 33525, will plug in between the male and female end of one of the sets of connectors underneath your 2006 Nissan Frontier. You will need to look behind the rear bumper on the driver side frame rail for the connection point. If your Frontier has the factory tow...

  • Determining Correct Wiring Harness for Brake Controller Installation on 2020 Nissan Frontier
  • Based on the fact that you have a 7-way and a hitch on the back, it is likely you have the tow package on your 2020 Nissan Frontier. Regardless, this doesn't matter for brake controller installation. Whether you do or do not have the factory tow package, you will have the factory tow port under the dash to plug a custom wiring harness into. Assuming you want to install the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR you were looking at you will also need the # RED39FR wiring...

  • Can Transmission Cooler Be Mounted With Ports On The Top Side
  • You can install the transmission cooler like part # D13502 with the ports pointed upward if you want. Since the system is pressurized it will have no problem with the flow of the fluid through the cooler mounted as you said.

  • Installing a Trailer Brake Controller on a 2006 Nissan Frontier
  • If your 2006 Nissan Frontier came with a factory 7-Way and you are using a Tekonsha brake controller like # 90885 all you will need to install it is wiring harness # 3050-P. If the truck did not come with a trailer connector you will need to first install a 4-Way wiring harness, # C56225, and then install a 7-Way installation kit # ETBC7. I have included some links that should help you with installation.

  • Will the P2 Brake Controller Drain the Battery on a 2013 Nissan Frontier
  • Brake controllers do have power all the time. If they didn't you would have to set it up every time you went to tow. Brake controllers like the P2 # 90885 go into a power saving mode after about 15 minutes of inactivity. When in this mode they only draw a few milliamps of power. It would take months of the 2013 Nissan Frontier just sitting for that to drain the battery so no worries!

  • Trailer Running Lights Not Operating When Connected to 2014 Nissan Frontier With Tow Package
  • Since you have the factory installed 7-way trailer connection and tow package, the relays needed for your trailer lights will be located either in the under-the-hood fuse box or the fuse box located under the left side of the driver's side dash. However, on some Nissan models, there can also be a wiring harness located in the right kick panel on the passenger's side for the trailer wiring. The harness would be installed, but there may or may not have the relays installed in the harness. Sometimes,...

  • Will an Auxiliary Transmission Cooler Replace a Factory Radiator on 2006 Nissan Frontier
  • All of the aftermarket transmission coolers we offer are designed to be installed in addition to the factory cooler. Auxiliary coolers are not designed to take the place of a factory-style cooler. An aftermarket auxiliary cooler, like the # D15960 that you referenced, should be installed after the factory cooler. This way, the fluid is cooled by the factory cooler, and then continues to be cooled as it passes through the aftermarket cooler, before entering the engine. If your factory...
