Re: Titan to get Diesel and a V6
One other thing, not to hi-jack, but the entire diesel world is getting flipped on its lid according to a source that I CANNOT confirm. Again, so there is no confusion; this source is unconfirmed===the rumors are: Dodge lost their lifetime rights to Cummins when the introduced a non-Cummins diesel product, the Jeep Diesel. When that happened, Ford stepped in with their controlling part of Cummins and pressured the pull of the Cummins from Dodge. The source claimed that Cummins was going in the Ford??? He also stated that the Isuzu based diesel in the GM's was the reason that Nissan did not have that option(Isuzu's are TERREFIC diesel's-work with them every day and we would be lucky to get them in a Titan). Nissan was also skeptical about the isuzu name badge deterring sales-don't really know why cause I love 'em!!! BTW: if the Ford-Cummins thing is true, Dodge will have no worries because right now(and this is fact) Benz has a RV based diesel that is making 490HP and 1132ftlbs. of torque!!!!! The amazing thing is its only a 7.? L.
