I am not sure if the v6 will be the exact same as the 4.0l in the fronty but it will be the same VQ platform. Now as for specs on the Diesel, while I was still working there I came across the proposals and the Motor spec'd to be used was a v6 international motor with 305hp and around 500 ftlb of torque, this was 2 years ago so I dont know if that has changed or not.

"truly in the know"--Consider me "kinda in the know"--haha. I work for a sister corporation. My latest info is the entire HD product line is on hold FOR NOW. The only diesel being introduced by Nissan in the near future will be an engine option on the Maxima. Sorry guys. The last engine they were considering for the Titan was from Navistar, but it was not the "power stroke" format at all. It was in-line 6, and the were having software integration problems. The declining sales of normal Titans prompted the decision to put HD's on hold. This saddened me as well!
