how did you guys deal with the issue of potential SMOD? radiator bypass? new radiator? just trying to get some insight before I decide to buy one

Definately do the Rad bypass.. for the price, its not worth the hassle and potention cost in getting the SMOD. Luckly i have the 6MT so i didn't have to worry about it, if i had an auto it be a no brainer.

I have a Frontier - I did the bypass. Takes all of 30 seconds as you simply swap hoses

easy solution

def first choice, but way overpriced

premature clutch problems are for people who don't know how to drive stick properly. I had a RX7 before and if i drove the X the same way, i'd probably have that problem. Its a truck after all, driving it like a sports car will kill it faster. I do notice i barely ever use the 6th gear. But then again, i don't drive fast with all the steel armor and big tires, things a tank though. Im at 113K and no signs of major wear yet. *knock on wood*
